Mr Mojo Risin

It feels good to be able to cheer for my team again and not feel bad or a sense of hopelessness.

I think CB is our most concerning position as far as depth goes. (OLB too but that's been improved with the Houston signing). We are 1 injury away from having the worst CB unit in football. And not to double down on that but both of our top CBs are earning the injury prone label. Not the best position to be in in a pass happy league.

I think he needs reps they don't want to have to rely on him playing a significant amount to start the season. Hopefully he plays a lot during the preseason and we can get a good look of where he's at

He definitely made the right choice getting out from under Rhule. If that same scenario happened with our current staff you'd have an argument

It's nice to have a reliable vet so we can continue to bring the young guys along slowly. Also helps with depth. Can never have enough guys rotating along the dline to keep each other fresh

Totally understand I ultimately feel the same way

Its hard to predict how precisely an NFL career will end up going for any player. The only correlation I was trying to draw was that even though he's 24 its not like we need 10+ pro bowl years out of the guy. We just need some good/solid starter potential for about 4 or 5 years after he develops (hopefully for us and not another team) and he will have earned his draft slot.

To be fair in the grand scheme of things a 24 year old rookie isnt the worst thing in the world. We just need him to hit a window where he's a solid -> good level starter for us for about 4-5 seasons that seems to be about our average on DEs. Even if it takes him a couple seasons to hit that window lets say by age 26/27. Lets take a look at two rotational players that played for us and ended up turning into solid starters for 4-5 years. Charles Johnson was a 21 year old rookie and took about 3 seasons for him to come into his own (age 24 season) he contributed at a pretty good level for us for about 5 seasons (age 28) and then he fell off. Mario Addison was a 23 or 24 year old rookie as well. He didn't come into his own as a starter until his age 29 season. Up until this season he was a solid rotational piece at best. He hit his window around age 29 (5 seasons in the NFL up to this point) and lasted at that level for about 4 years until he was 32. Hopefully it doesn't take that long for him to develop into that 4-5 season window with this coaching staff (no guarantee he ever hits a window where he's a solid starter) but they definitely saw something in this kid to trade up for him. Praying it pays off for us.

We won't know what type of player he is until the bullets start to fly. Especially with dlineman and olineman it's hard to see what type of player you have until they are on the field playing for real

This is sad. Why is this not live streamed in the year 2023 where everything is live streamed. Whats the point of having a Carolina Panthers YT channel? This is the only thing I've been able to find. Really sad.

Anyone know if this will be live streamed?

Agreed it was a good watch for what it was and who they chose as QBs to follow around.

Better than overpaying for an Edge that gets all of his "12.5" sacks in garbage time and disappears/misses key tackles when it matters most. I'd take my chances on a young guy with a high motor on a rookie contract for 5 years than I would bet on Burns to become a well rounded DE worthy of a $100+ mill contract. He is literally Mario Addison just 4 years younger.

Have you forgotten where you are? Just wait until Young throws his first INT in training camp this board will be in full on melt down mode

We'll see he's got some mighty big shoes to fill from a stats standpoint. 4700 yards 35 total TDs (but only 6 wins). I don't see him matching or necessarily having better stats than Cams rookie year but I definitely expect more than 6 wins this season, which is the most important stat.

Season honestly can't get here soon enough. Feel like it's been an eternity since I was this excited for Panthers Football!! #KeepPounding

Don't watch "The Quarterback" on Netflix, the segment where the Falcons play us and we lose in OT, It'll make you wish we pulled the trigger on that trade that much more Burns is a good player with good stats. Great players make plays when their teams need them the most. I've yet to see Burns ever step up and make a play when we needed it most and that little segment that they showed of us losing to the Falcons last year in OT highlights that exact sentiment. He had a chance to step up and make a play that a $100 million dollar DE should make and whiffed. Falcons kick the FG and win the game. Should have traded him.

Didn't see this posted yet anywhere else and while there's not a ton of "highlights" its just great to see our guys come together before TC and get some work in Article: https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/lists/panthers-highlights-summer-workouts-smu-bryce-young-andy-dalton-adam-thielen/ Day 1: Day 2: Day 3:

Just dropped on YT! 45 minutes in length, enjoy! Links to Episodes 1 & 2

That 2nd play was impressive. Need all of our guys to play with that type of heart and we'll be going places sooner rather than later

Mario Addison was about that age when he had his "breakout" year for us as well. Sometimes it just takes the right situation for it to finally click

Cam Newton with a full offseason probably a top 15-20 QB

2015 was Cam's best passing season and it isn't close

His rookie year was not his best passing season. That was the season in which he threw for the most yards during a season but that doesn't mean that it was his best.

He'll definitely be getting more than Chubb (28.5 sacks over 5 years)
