I’ve always thought he would be effective in a RB/WR role. If I’m not mistaken he was a RB in college before WR. He could be an effective version of Shenault. He needs designed plays where he gets the ball and just runs.

I think it’s clear that Canales is doing a few things here: 1) Backing off from Bryce. Less accountability if there is regression. 2) Putting Bevell in place behind Idzik so he can spend more time with Evero. The second one is important because Capers isn’t there anymore, Evero has to stand on his own and Canales has no excuse not to evaluate him. If Defense struggles, Canales has to pull the plug. And put Wash or somebody in.

I like the logic too but……. Problem with tight end you have to be one of the smartest players on the field. Understand zones When to sit to find space on a route Know the offensive line blocking schemes Know when to be a hour route for your QB. Etc… Legette is in his own head which impacts playing smart and fast. He would get someone killed out there with his errors at tight end.

That's what I was kinda thinking after his rookie year but honestly he hasn't shown me any kind of vision or shiftiness as a runner. For a guy with his measurables he sure seems easy to get down.

Generally, especially older guys, it takes two years to be fully back. 3 years would take him through Scourton and Princely’s deals and if they earn 2nd contracts that is good timing. Also, watching g the Luke and JJ video I linked in the Luke thread Luke said the LB talent is there in this draft and he expects Morgan to get one. I am like, please. And make it a better pick than Wallace, Dan. Inauspicious debut there, on your linebacker drafting.

Based on Morgan's comment about "cannot have enough pass rushers" I would say, if we sign a veteran, Edge is still on the table. Of course, we would then go LB, OT, or...............WR in the first round. I am still not confident that WR is out of the question.

I think it is important to have a few veterans to go along with our second-year players. Here is what AI thinks: "Following his expected 2026 release from the Miami Dolphins, 29-year-old pass-rusher Bradley Chubb is projected to land a contract in the range of $12–14 million per year. Despite recording 8.5 sacks in 2025 after a torn ACL, his age, injury history, and a below-average 11% pass-rush win rate in 2025 indicate he will likely take a pay cut from his previous $18.2 million average. I think a 3-year, $38m deal would work." I am back: Expect a better year in 2026 than 2025.

Immediate and much needed upgrade to the LB core, get it done Dan.

… or quarterback

Article: Bradley Chubb is available to sign with any team right now and the prospect of the Panthers pursuing him came up during General Manager Dan Morgan’s press conference at the Scouting Combine on Tuesday. Chubb was released by the Dolphins earlier this month, which means a team can add him to their pass rush options before free agency opens at the start of the new league year. The Panthers had 30 sacks during the 2025 season and Morgan said that he doesn’t think a team can ever have enough strong pass rushers in general before answering a question about specific interest in Chubb. Morgan said Chubb is “still playing at a really good level” and indicated the team is looking into the possibility of adding him to the defense. “I don’t think anything is going to be off the table,” Morgan said, via the team’s website. “We’ll explore that, we’ll talk to his agent, but I wouldn’t say anything’s upcoming, but we’ll definitely stay on that, and we’ll see where that goes.” Chubb missed all of 2024 with a torn ACL, but returned to record 8.5 sacks for the Dolphins last season. Derrick Brown and Nic Scourton tied for the Panthers’ lead by recording five sacks each during the 2025 campaign. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/panthers-gm-dan-morgan-well-explore-signing-bradley-chubb

A sure sign we're tanking for the '27 QB class

That facial hair is hurting more than its helping.

I've said before that he could possibly be a Cordarrelle Patterson or Ty Montgomery RB conversion type. I don't see him as a tight end though.

About as bad of an ideas as having Bryce Young playing center.

B-I-N-G-O. We design to our strength and that is the run. If we had Mahommes or Allen, I promise you we would not lean so hard into the rushing attack.

He is not physical at WR. That would be a disaster.

We already have a roster full of third string TEs.

This whole thing is good but I time set it to start when they shift the subject to fits, schemes, etc. I am really big on continuity and they address that on the way out of this little conversation. It is a lot about the combine at first and Luke is just so good at communicating and smart about stuff, I would listen to him talk about most anything. I watched the whole thing.

Tackle has to be a selection in the first two to three rounds. As does C and LB. Also need to shore up Yosh and go get a true MLB. Edge and TE need to be addressed in free agency.

Yeah the people that go there can’t seem to see it any other way. Everything else is the reason. Pretty sure there is more to bringing in Bevell than just helping Idzik learn to call plays. Maybe he can help to better fit an offense to this player and his skill set. Can only hope because we don’t scare any defense that is good. They don’t respect the pass they way we need them to. If you do happen to burn them once, they don’t adjust. As if it was a fluke. I think they think they are playing the odds.

Yeah the Bevell thing is weird but it’s nice to have his experience for our younger offensive staff. I’m just glad DC isn’t calling plays because that was a lot for him at this point in his career and he wasn’t that good at it honestly.

oh if young isnt a top 10 qb this year its def not on him its the coaching the oline the wrs. the rbs the defense his personal chef anyone but his fault bc he is awesome its the team that sucks. seriously thoigh i am so sick of these articles acting like young had a much improbed year...his qbr went down and his yards per gamd went from 170 to 180 still terrible

Tepper Sports & Entertainment unveils plans for immersive experience center ahead of Bank of America Stadium renovations https://www.panthers.com/news/tepper-sports-entertainment-unveils-plans-for-immersive-experience-center-ahead-of-bank-of-america-stadium-renovations

Isn’t TE considered a lot harder mentally than WR’s for rookies? He barely has the football IQ to stay in bounds as it is. Now double up his playbook with elaborate blocking tasks?

I thought of that too but concluded that his issues would affect him at TE same as WR. If they aren’t solved? Fail at either spot. If they are resolved? He is a WR. But there could be some crossover in how they use him.
