One could also say if Fields bums out it he would not be the first rd quarterback that did it. Hope Fields is a success but one never knows until the season begins and he starts playing football in the highly competive NFL.

Going from College Football to the NFL is a whole new and different world, there is so much to consider in the evaluation of college players,especially quarterbacks.

The trio were all targeted on social media after their penalty misses. Sick morons left vile messages and sent monkey emojis to the young players. Attacking the racists at a press conference tonight, the Prime Minister said: "Shame on you. I hope you crawl back under the rock from which you emerged." Mr Johnson hailed the Three Lions "heroes" for their performances which had "filled me with pride".

You could be right because the top teams selecting in the 2021 NFL Draft must have felt that way as well because they passed on him in the draft.

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/carolina-panthers-worst-move-offseason-141506856.html What was the Carolina Panthers’ worst move this offseason? Mistakes are a part of life. They also make regular appearances for your favorite NFL team, whichever it might be. Every year, organizations make blunders. They sign mediocre players to exorbitant contracts in free agency, they pass on promising prospects in the draft and they let quality athletes go in favor of negligible salary cap savings. The Carolina Panthers are no exception to the rule. Even though general manager Scott Fitterer has generally done a good job in his first offseason at the helm, he has also made some highly-questionable decisions. According to the Athletic, signing offensive lineman Cameron Erving was the worst move the team has made this offseason. If the plan really is to start Erving at left tackle, odds are it’s going to go bad for the Panthers once the season begins. However, as bad as Erving is, it’s not the kind of mistake that can haunt an organization for a generation. From our perspective there was at least one move (or non-move) that qualifies as a worse decision. Sitting at No. 8 overall in the draft, Carolina had a chance to select a potential franchise quarterback and play him for five years on a relatively cheap rookie contract. Instead of taking Justin Fields, they went with Jaycee Horn instead. While we expect Horn to be an excellent cornerback at the next level, passing on a top QB prospect when you don’t have an established starter is just about as bad as it gets in the NFL. If Fields goes on to become a star for the Bears, the Panthers may be regretting that one for decades.

Good choice. That would be a good surprise if CB Keith Taylor, who was drafted 166 in the 5th rd., not only made the team but excelled.

{" Unfortunately, all of this positivity comes with that Sam Darnold-shaped asterisk, because if he doesn’t work out this team’s ceiling will remain relatively limited, no matter what the cap or draft capital picture looks like."}

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/carolina-panthers-three-salary-cap-160000753.html Carolina Panthers’ three-year salary cap forecast looks strong Getting the Carolina Panthers back into playoff contention won’t happen overnight. However, the future looks bright for general manager Scott Fitterer and coach Matt Rhule as they enter the next phase of this ongoing rebuilding project. For one thing, the team is loaded with young, flexibile and talented players, including the two most versatile in the NFL. They also have a relatively strong outlook when it comes to the salary cap situation. According to an analysis by Pro Football Focus, Carolina has around $186.6 million in effective salary cap space over the next three years. That’s the fourth-most in the league. Unfortunately, all of this positivity comes with that Sam Darnold-shaped asterisk, because if he doesn’t work out this team’s ceiling will remain relatively limited, no matter what the cap or draft capital picture looks like.

I think the number of people predicting Darnold will win or lose and the histroy of QBs being considered a failure after a bad first year balance each other out. So yes,in my opinion it could be considered a surprise if Darnold has a great 2021 season.

MHS831,I hope you are correct in your assumption because that would mean we had a good season and are set at QB long term.

The Panthers spent a couple of years in salary cap hell thanks to former OT Matt Kalil’s burdensome old contract and several other unfortunate decisions by the previous regime. Heading into 2021, they’re in much better shape financially, so getting LB Denzel Perryman for $1,990,000 could turn out to be a steal if he produces.

https://sports.yahoo.com/carolina-panthers-biggest-sleeper-2021-150019918.html Who is the Carolina Panthers’ biggest sleeper for the 2021 season? Every NFL season comes with unforeseen surprises and unexpected turns. Not all of them are pleasant, but it’s always great to see players who take an unexpected leap forward and make a big impact for their team. Last year, the Carolina Panthers had a few sleepers show up. Backup running back Mike Davis did an excellent job in Christian McCaffrey’s place while he missed most of the season due to injuries. On defense, rookie Jeremy Chinn broke through with an exceptional rookie year. This year, Bleacher Report has identified one sleeper for every team. In Carolina’s case, it’s linebacker Denzel Perryman. “Perryman is getting a second chance to be a starter after inking a two-year deal with the Panthers. Shaq Thompson is entrenched as one of the every-down linebackers, but Perryman has a path to a three-down role if he can stay on the field. If he starts in the middle for the Panthers, he’ll blaze past that 73-tackle high-water mark. And the acclaim we thought was inevitable all those years ago may finally come.” Perryman proved to be a reliable tackler and a solid coverage linebacker during his time with the Chargers. The question is if he’ll stay healthy enough to maintain that full-time middle linebacker role. Since he was drafted in 2015, Perryman has missed 27 games The good news is that even if Perryman’s injury issues continue, the Panthers have a quality backup option in Jermaine Carter, who performed well down the stretch after Tahir Whitehead was benched.

I fully agree.

That will do it every time.

Exactly. It is all about making money

What in the world happened to France?

I am also pulling for England.

Yes A sleeper type draft.

The Carolina Panthers used the franchise tag in2021 for the first time in several years, applying it to RT Taylor Moton. Moton has had a sensational run as their starting RT for the last three seasons and is the most critical pending free agent for them to retain this year. If Moton does not agree to a long-term contract extension before July 15, he will play for the Panthers next season under the franchise tag. For offensive linemen in 2021, that will cost roughly $13.75 million. All i can say is "Get it done".

Steve Smith is now an eligible candidate in 2022 after this year’s star-studded class that included Peyton Manning, Calvin Johnson, and Charles Woodson was announced. So there will be speculation between now and this time next year as to whether he is worthy of a first-ballot induction. Make no mistake, there is a serious case to be made for this. Smith’s career was nothing short of phenomenal. His time with the Panthers may have ended before it should have. But there was little doubting his credentials during a 16-year stint in the NFL that concluded with 1,031 receptions, 14,731 receiving yards, and 81 touchdowns. His individual accolades were also extremely noteworthy. He was a five-time Pro Bowler, made the first-team All-Pro roster on two occasions, and was the NFL’s Comeback Player of the Year in 2005. These are some strong credentials that Smith is bringing to the table.

Former Panthers wide receiver and legend, Steve Smith Sr., will likely be the first to be in the Hall of Famer under the Carolina panner. He becomes eligible in 2022 and it’s only a matter of time before he’s inducted. My list of potential,long shot Panthers Hall Of Famers in order : RB Christian McCaffery DE Brian Burn CB Jaycee Horn WR DJ Moore

The Panthers currently have three people enshrined in the Hall of Fame. The most recent was linebacker Kevin Greene, who played for the Panthers in 1996 and then again in 1998-1999. He was inducted into the Hall in 2016. The year prior, the Panthers had executive Bill Polian inducted into the Hall of Fame. He was the franchise’s first general manager and helped build a team that reached the NFC Championship Game in the franchise’s second year in the NFL. Prior to Polian, the Panthers only had one player in the Hall of Fame and that was defensive end Reggie White, who played one season with the Panthers and was inducted with the 2006 class.

Don't worry,if you haven't watched the news,you have missed a thing.
