Hope that his recovery goes smoothly and without complication. Ja'Tavion Sanders is about to get plenty of reps for the first 4 weeks!

hell yea

idk if it's official but I'm seeing 4.65sec for the 40

Oh my damn

I mean, that's kind of the disconnect amongst Panthers fans right now; who/what is to blame? From the looks of it, there are more than a couple of folks blaming everything on Bryce (including the protection and separation issues). Personally, I think it's a mixture of all parts and not exclusively Bryce Young's physical limitations and/or skill set. The OL gave up 60+ sacks and WRs were statistically the bottom of the barrel when it came to separation. That's not Bryce's fault that the team played nine different guards throughout the season and that his most reliable wide receiver was 31yr old Adam Thielen. Were there plays where Bryce didn't do his part? Absolutely! He didn't look comfortable in the offense at any point in time. That makes sense now though, as we've heard about the having multiple coaches in his ear telling him different things. We'll get a better idea this season if Bryce was the problem, whether it be because he's too little to throw the ball twen-my bad, forty yards plus downfield () or because the offense that he was surrounded by last season was really that bad.

Why would a defense sit dudes back deep when they're absolutely murdering the OL on every snap and the WRs aren't separating?

Fields' 3.23 is wild. Have to wonder if it gives weight to the pre-draft criticisms about his inability to read a defense.

Sounds like the team is high on DJ Johnson and Eku Leota while also preparing for the eventual return of DJ Wonnum (and Amare Barno). Cutting Chaisson helps them get closer to cap relief, allows them to evaluate new options (Jamie Sheriff), and makes it a little easier to bring back players from injury when they're ready. The next four weeks are going to be tough on those fringe guys because some aren't going to be here when Jonathan Brooks, Dane Jackson, DJ Wonnum, and Amare Barno are due back.

I get a big kick out of the Camp Confidential videos. It's fun to get behind the scenes footage and learn more about the players. Production value has been getting better as well!

There are some fun 8pm games tonight! Gonna have UNC @ Minnesota on one screen, ND State @ Colorado on another, and Coastal Carolina @ Jacksonville State on the third. Might put Murray St @ #11 Mizzou on for a little bit just to get a peek at Luther Burden III.

Isa mic drop

Ankle injury. Sounds like he wasn't quite ready to come back from it yet.

Only two players iirc can go on the IR-R prior to roster cuts. Afterwards, guys have to be on the roster and then placed on the IR-R. As a result, JMatt went to the PS where we could stash him unless another team was going bring him up to the 53. Team placed their two on IR-R (Dane Jackson and Sam Franklin Jr), went thru cuts, and then were allowed to put Crumedy on IR-R instead of possibly losing him to waivers. Crumedy's spot opened up room for JMatt.

Let's gooooooooooooo

That's a big thing that I'm considering too: the returning players. There's going to be 4 more cuts in the future when they come off IR-R/PUP/NFI.

"maybe at center"

PRAISE

ooo, Tariq Castro-Fields was an interesting CB prospect. I am ashamed that I don't recognize any of the other names, but am excited to find out more about them!

There's criticism and then there's chronic invalidation. I can't think of any reasonable person that didn't acknowledge that Bryce's size was an area of concern going into the draft. The mention of narcissism comes from the fact that there are other data points such as his game film that address some of the criticisms but those rebuttals are willfully dismissed/ignored. When called out on their behavior, as has been done here, narcissists will appeal to emotion and avoid responsibility for their own chosen actions. For example: Bryce's deep ball. There's plenty of tape from his final college season showing him hitting WRs downfield 40+ yards accurately. That's still something that he can do. However, we've got a bunch of posters that claim Bryce's arm suddenly can't make that same throw in the NFL? You yourself are on the record here claiming his arm strength is "bottom-tier" in the NFL and that "Bryce doesn't have the arm strength to make throws any longer than they absolutely need to be." Most reasonable folks will agree that he doesn't have elite arm strength but they will acknowledge that he has an average NFL arm (at the least, NFL coaches and players do). Are you being honest about your actions, or are you exaggerating victimhood?
