Smokescreen or do you think this is legit info? Rod's usually a "we'll just have to see" kind of guy. Surprised he came out and said this. Hope it's true with the roll we're on right now.

TBH, the difference between this team with and without a completely healthy Barkley is probably +/-1 game.

Not to say we haven't been fuged by the NBA just like a lot of the other small market teams like what just transpired but when we have had the ability to get a star or superstar, we have largely flubbed it royally. Jordan cast a massive shadow over the organization with his horrific talent evaluations for years and years.

Agree with EVERYTHING you have here! The dline might help you with covering, but it won't do anything with his ability to tackle. Evero's defense has a lot of gap responsibility from safeties. They either missed their gaps, or (mostly) missed the tackle. I thought Woods did a good job of filling his gaps and tackling. He actually led the with 119 tackles last season. He just wasn't good at covering.

I don't think 1 player makes this team a contender. Playoff team? Sure, that bar is pretty low with the expanded playoffs. I just think the D is going nowhere with Evero, DC is still way too green at best and the roster just isn't that good. The oline is the best position group and that could have holes at OC and RT with a little bad luck...not evem mentioning the usual NFL freak injuries. A top QB makes it a playoff team looking at the rest of the NFC south. Hell TB does it with just a solid QB and revolving door at OC.

I could see week 17 being @ NO for the seemingly traditional CAR v NO new years special, considering Atl and TB are already booked. Week 16 and 18 could go either way on the TB/ATL opponent list

from a TV perspective, the ARI game would naturally be in the 4p slot. So would the SF game unless it got one of the national slots like MNF All the other games we know so far are currently toss-ups as to whether they'll stay at 1p or get picked up into a 4p showcase

just curious... have they announced all the TNF games? If so, this is good news! We need all the help we can get to prevent injuries, and between both teams playing, it seems like there is at least one significant injury (where player misses multiple weeks or more) from TNF

I'm genuinely OK with a lack of prime time games. And certainly more than OK with no Thursday games that statistically greatly increase injury risks. This team has been ass for years, and even though I am optimistic for this upcoming season, the last thing I want is to see us poo the bed again in prime time. If we're good enough, we will get rewarded at the end of the year. Also, while watching prime time games is fun, going to a 1PM game is so much better from a scheduling standpoint with kids.

Everyone was pretty happy with his start to the season. He was doing well as a compliment to DJ. When DJ got shipped, he took on more X responsibilities and it didn’t work out, he struggled, got injured and hit the rookie wall. Pretty sure we see him returning to more slot, flanker and a lot more free releases stuff. He did this pretty well to begin with. All draft reports cited he’s be good at this, poor at X and it showed. Im excited for his year 2

if the NFL is trying to keep an entire division (well, most of) on the same BYE week date as much as possible, then that would most likely fall the week before the MNF game in SF. If that's true, that would be an extra day of recovery which would be a bonus Smelling like our home opener is against Atlanta

They also had the #1 defense. Barkley is a great RB but any top 10 back in the league would have had a career year playing in Philly last year.

Barkely is a put you over the top player. Not a make you a contender player. Which is exactly what has career has shown. Why the Giants let him go.

I think the plan and hope is that Moehrig, Richardson, and Ransom can be the long-term core at S. Still for depth reasons I think we need to bring in a veteran safety on a 1-year deal as a contingency

Carolina Panthers schedule leaks and updates Panthers to open on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1 (Jordan Schultz, FOX Sports) Panthers to visit New England Patriots in Week 4 (Joe Person, The Athletic) Panthers to visit Green Bay Packers in Week 9 (Travis Hancock, WFNZ) Panthers to host Miami Dolphins in Week 5 (Barry Jackson, Miami Herald) Panthers to visit San Francisco 49ers for Monday Night Football in Week 12 (Travis Hancock, WFNZ) Panthers to visit Arizona Cardinals in Week 2 (Johnny Venerable, PHNX Sports)

Under Evero we have usually had 5 safeties on the active roster. Right now, we have only have Moehrig, Richardson, Nick Scott, and Ransom. Not counting the UDFA, that's only 4 safeties right now on the roster. Even if Nick Scott is the 5th S primarily for ST, there's still a spot that needs to be filled. I'm wary of depending on a 2nd year UDFA or a rookie 4th rounder to be the Week 1 starter. Signing someone else would allow Nick Scott to compete with the undrafted guys/anyone else we bring in for the final spot. The only question I see is the timing of the move. Because on one hand, maybe one of these guys can step up. But of course the risk is waiting and potentially losing out on quality guys thay could help you. So, I guess to be clear, I think the Panthers safety depth is still extremely questionable, and i think it would be malpractice not to sign another S that has logged significant snaps in the NFL. In terms of the timing for signing someone, that's for someone above our pay grades (Dan Morgan) to figure out

nice

looks like no thursday night games for us. No short weeks to prep for (other than that MNF game)

We haven't had a good GM since Bob Bass with the original hornets.

Recapping previous posts to try to get a current summary. Would love to see a BYE immediately before the SF game. Doubt it'd be late after the LAR one. Would hate for it to be early after MIA. @ Jax @ ARI home vs.... Atlanta? Unsure yet @ NE MIA tbd (won't be ATL or NO) @ NYJ BUF @ GB NO tbd (won't be TB) @ SF (MNF PRIME TIME) LAR tbd tbd (won't be ATL or TB) tbd (won't be NO) tbd (won't be ATL or TB) tbd

For those without the NFL Network (etc) who want to watch the official release, the NFL has you covered:

To be fair, historically we have overperformed our lottery slot(in terms of probability) and had a pretty significant hand in making very poor draft picks for a long time.

nah we're good

Yay!
