Gano has been money.

Boykin has been solid.

CAP looks like an able back-up to Stew.

What?!

Gotta go

If you're going to judge the game objectively, then do it. The ball should have been caught. Period.

Too Easy.

Great point, and actually exactly one I was going to make after looking over the projection. I am thinking that Boykin would just plain have to suck throughout the remainder of the preseason to end up cut. If he makes some more plays like the catch that he did in Buffalo, I don't see any scenario where Williams makes the roster to Boykin's detriment. Plus, I believe that Boykin has been the better special teams guy in their respective careers.

@Jeremy Igo, But what of the first string specifically? Did it perform better than the second string?

With us being down the list, some team may swoop in and take the choicest scraps.

Here is the real "answer" from Rivera: "It's not going to change the complexion of what we want to do or how we're going to do it. It's just going to change who's going to do it." And, yes, this is Rivera talking in reference to Benjamin's injury.

This guy basically said the same thing: http://nflmocks.com/2015/08/19/carolina-panthers-now-must-embrace-old-school-football/

Though considered "unspectacular" by some, Ealy had a solid season (particularly for a rookie DE). Cut him? Nah. It's too early for such talk. Plus...do you remember all those receivers still on the board with so much potential and upside...? That would be the worst part of it from my perspective. Lastly, the PS would be the better option, but even that would be crazy.

But, but, what are Devin Funchess and especially Cam Newton doing on this list?

I FIFY. I believe we may be saying this a lot---or at least thinking it---in reference to several players with unknown/untapped potential. It's the Shula Effect.

Nah, man, I'm with you. I just would've felt a whole lot better if you had said 4-4.5.

@Jeremy Igo, first of all, you could be right, but I believe that it's a little premature to relegate CAP to 3.5-4 YPC average (which to me is flirting with JAG status, especially near the low end). We are going to have to see him run with the big dogs. He certainly hits the whole hard and accelerates at the point of contact nicely, provided he has a little wiggle room.

How is J-Co's stock on the decline? Inquiring minds want to know.

Yes, he does. Serious wheels.

I called his ass out about 4/5 games into his tenure, and it seemed like 75% of the people thought that I was crazy.

Dumb play call
