It's not exactly a great way to kick off your podcast episode sounding like the oh ho ho it's funny because it's true character from family guy. Any doorknob with a wifi connection has a podcast now.

Tucker has been hosting an NFL show on Sirius since 2010. It's not like this podcast is his intro to media.

Do you have a Cap notification on your phone? Every thread that even mentions Cap, and they you are. 

 

Do you do this for every team? Or are we the only one who gets to revel in your brilliance?

 

 I just can't believe you aren't working for an actual NFL team. Not here with us mere mortals. Surely there must be something better you could be doing with all that knowledge? Maybe teaching? 

Nobody like this Toomers brat and he's not terribly smart. Best thing is to ignore it.

Basically you’re telling Huddle members to think realistically about the 2021 season and not start FIRE EVERYONE threads if the team doesn’t meet their lofty expectations…

You’re asking way too much my friend

TRADE BURNS NOWWWWW!!!!!! I can't believe we tried two wiyun tha 3rd game and kill our draft 

Preventing points and being part of preventing points is what matters. The defense being affective is what matters. Individual production is what we can easily quantify or be exited about. However, it all needs to combine to prevent points. 

I'm encouraged it will. 

They give him looks at LT. He doesn't seem to want to play it per Rhule.if he wanted to he would.

No offense to Person but he doesn't know when things like this are moving or not.

What does a break out season look like when he's already been  1200 x2?   1300? 1400?  That would be top 5.

He had more yards than Mike Evans and Amari Cooper, in fewer games.  He had more yards than Brandin Cooks or Corey Davis.    He did that with TB and PJ throwing to him.

touchdowns

yards are great but TDs fill out the resume

Glad you posted. I've had trouble finding the Twitter account.

Every time a play is made ask if it was just a sign of the other guy not being good. We don't see enough of that.

The term means the person who surprisingly succeeds. Why would Perryman playing well be surprising?

Darnold playing better wouldn't be surprising either as most predict he will.

It would need to be someone like Little or Slye or Irving to a lesser extent to be a sleeper. Or Grier solidifying the backup.

frank has inferiority issues

The vast majority of uniform, logo, helmet updates are worse than the prior. Less is more, keep it simple, no dumb poo please.

But it's important to know the only point is to sell more merchandise. Nobody gives a poo whether it's an actual upgrade.

Winning in general is separate from winning a championship. The list of entertaining athletes without a title is plentiful. But you have to start somewhere. Dan Marino led the Dolphins to a perfect regular season. Carolina can't even compete in the division at the moment.

No, he didn't.

His best season was 14-2 and losing the Super Bowl. 

Cam did better than that at 15-1 and losing the Super Bowl

He's emulating the mentality of his favorite football team. Just happy to be here ya'll.

He made it through 3 rounds. They only did the final round in person because of covid.

I would actually say that Burns is the only one in that top shelf category.

Reddick is in the "potential" category only because he was a bust until his contract year. The raw material is there but you always have to be suspicious of a guy that blows up in the last year of his contract. That is why I love the contract we signed him for. Excellent prove it deal.

Jones has been a quality starter in the NFL for years but definitely not an elite player. I would say a good player but I don't know if I would say he has a ceiling that can get him into that top shelf group at 29. It's possible but unlikely. And, ultimately, I don't think that it matters. If he was just what he was in TEN, it will be a big upgrade and he will be a starter and contributor for us.

Derrick Brown is high in potential but very low in reps on the field. I'd put him in that "stud potential" group until he more consistently shows it on the field. He is our  best candidate to ascend into that group in the next 1-2 seasons.

 

I would honestly split that "Above Average" group out and put the "Stud Potential" guys slightly above them. I don't think most Above Average players have Stud Potential, being my logic behind that. Say, for instance, Jones is Above Average but Derrick Brown has Stud Potential. 

How effective they are as a unit is what matters. Not each being an All Pro

Initial 53-man roster headshots for 2020 (panthers.com)

I don't think Douglas was part of the 53 cut.   

 

 

Either way he was a week 1 starter. And was picked up the day after final roster cut down.

Though likely because Apple was going on IR.

He was listed on a projected depth chart released the first week. There was at least a moment in time before Apple was known to be going to IR

Man that CB room is crowded.  Last year we only kept 5.

 8 Jaycee Horn CB
26 Donte Jackson CB
24 A. J. Bouye CB
29 Rashaan Melvin CB
25 Troy Pride CB
28 Keith Taylor CB
23 Stantley Thomas-Oliver CB
35 Jalen Julius CB

Melvin on down will be battling for 2 spots.

Is this what having depth looks like?

We started the season with 6

Apple, Douglas, Jackson, Pride, Elder, Thomas-Oliver

Thomans-Oliver and Taylor will be the 6th IMO unless they get someone after cuts.

They made their living doing exactly that in college. The problem is that this isn't college. And it's worth noting that their record against actual good (top 25) competition in college was abysmal. I think when I looked it up that the only two top 25 teams Rhule ever beat were ECU and Navy. Every other time he faced a top 25 team he lost.

Baylor beat Oklahoma State who was ranked 25th in 2019.  Though non of this has much bearing on what he can or can't do leading an NFL team. 

The only people questioning Rhule's coaching potential are those who seek negativity in everything. People who actually know coaching are impressed by him.

Carolina's often sneakily good at getting solid slot guys. A bit of a lull after Ricky Proehl, but then we've had Cotchery, Jarius Wright, Curtis Samuel, and now whoever ends up in that role. Whether it be CmC, Robby, David Moore, or someone else, I think we'll be alright once again, there.

Given that multiple of them have experience at multiple receiving positions is doesn't have to be written in stone. They can mix it up. Even better.

DJ, Anderson, Marshall, Moore, Smith  plus CMC & Arnold make for a pretty good group of pass catchers. Zylstra probably makes it based on special teams. 

He could prove to be a huge signing for this line and defense. Kind of a Buckner type addition in that he is a very solid veteran addition to a very young line.

I guess the question is how much more "legit" do they have to be for them to be an improvement over our current backups.

The chances of a high caliber backup being available are slim. More likely it will be a couple of old veterans moving towards being over the hill(doesn't seem to fit the general philosophy of our organization currently) or some young, raw QB's that just didn't stick. In the latter case, how much of an improvement would they be over two guys that have WAY more time in the same playbook and system.

Those are some other reasons I don't really think we will be going QB dumpster diving unless one of our current two backups gets injured.

An over the hill vet is exactly what I'd hope for but there don't seem to be many of those like there use to be. I'd be ecstatic with a Beurerlein or Delhomme but they don't seem to exist. Alex Smith, if not retired, would the the type I'd want.

I can almost guarantee we will sign a legit back up at some point once cuts are made

What are the chances a legit backup is cut? I'm sure there is a chance but it's not goingto be significant. I hope something happens.

I'm a fan and root for the success of all Panthers players regardless of anything that happens here.

If he must play I hope he can improve on his 45.8 career passer rating.
