    in Carolina Panthers

    Posted

    Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales spoke with reporters following Tuesday’s outing of organized team activities. He was asked about Sanders, who did not participate in drills on the afternoon.

    “Miles just has a little something in his heel,” Canales stated. “It flared up on him a little bit a couple weeks ago. So we’re just trying to be really cautious with that. He’s been doing some running on the side, getting treatment, all that. He’s here, he’s locked in. So, just another precautionary measure there.”

    Adam Thielen: We probably have NFL’s worst facilities, I don’t think anybody would argue that

    Adam Thielen noted that Carolina’s practice facility — which is still housed at the stadium after plans for a separate facility at Rock Hill, S.C. were scrapped — needs to be updated.

    “I think they’re behind a little bit as far as facilities,” Thielen told Alex Zietlow of the Charlotte Observer. “We probably have the worst facilities in the NFL right now, and I don’t think there is anybody who would argue that. But at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter. You gotta go play football, and you gotta go win games.

    REPORT: ESPN's FPI gives Panthers a 0-percent chance to win Super Bowl LIX

    in Carolina Panthers

    Posted

    When it comes to the Panthers, their FPI is the league-worst at -7.6. So, perhaps it’s no surprise that their chances of winning Super Bowl LIX, at least according to these analytics, are also the worst—at 0 percent.

    But misery loves company. Carolina is joined in what appears to be the “No chance in hell” category by the New England Patriots, Denver Broncos and Tennessee Titans.

    FPI is also giving the Panthers a 4.5-percent shot at making the playoffs and a 2.7-percent shot at winning the NFC South.

    CBS does not think Bryce makes the leap

    Ranks Bryce no.4 behind Stroud/AR/Levis

    I just don't feel it with Young. And what do I mean by that? Well, firstly, I didn't see any flashes from Young as a rookie. You know, a few games-- maybe not even consecutively -- where he looked confident and poised and that combination led to quality results. 

    There was the 300-plus-yard effort late in the season against Green Bay that stood out. But even if that game was encouraging, it was thoroughly outweighed by disastrous performances. In my weekly grading project of the first- and second-year quarterbacks in 2023, Young had one "A" grade and two grades in the "B" range. All of his other starts ranged from a "C+" to an "F."

    Yes, that Packers game was impressive; it's just too difficult for me to see him repeating that type of performance on a regular basis because of his lack of physical tools. He doesn't have a strong arm by NFL standards. It's not brutal, but it's not doing him favors frequently. He's a good athlete but not nearly dynamic enough to repeatedly make defenders miss or scamper away from oncoming defenders often. His accuracy and processing are his two strengths, but neither are so spectacular they negate his hard-to-improve weaknesses.

    The Panthers did make somewhat of a concerted effort to build around him, trading for underneath separator Diontae Johnson in March before moving up in the draft to select South Carolina's Xavier Legette. I still think Carolina's receiver group will struggle to collectively get open, but the offensive line should be sturdier with free-agent adds Robert Hunt at right guard and Damien Lewis at left guard. 

    I don't have enough belief in Young's tools, nor the roster in Carolina, to predict Young making a leap in Year 2. 

    excellent news

    Per https://overthecap.com/salary-cap/carolina-panthers

    - Demani Richardson SAF Texas A&M  guaranteed salary $100K

    - Jalen Coker WR Holy Cross guaranteed salary $225K

    - Popo Aumavae DE Oregon guaranteed salary $40K

    - Andrew Raym C Oklahoma guaranteed salary $225K

    - Sam Pinckney WR Coastal Carolina guaranteed salary $15K

    - Jaden Shirden RB Monmouth guaranteed salary $15K

    This gives you a good idea who the organization prioritized and who they expect to make the team. We knew about Coker but they gave C Raym the same amount. Clearly they see him as the possible back-up to Corbett.
