Read my other posts. I've thoroughly explained why I wouldn't do this.

We don't know. You're the one acting like a LB that the second worst defense in the league is ready to move on from is ready to pick up carry the torch of Mills, Morgan, Beason, Luke, TD, etc. All the while acting like the folks saying "nah" are the crazy ones.

Yeah, logic says that if you're looking for castoffs or guys willing to be traded fairly cheaply, you're probably most likely to find those guys on a good roster, not the worst defense in the league that wasn't in Charlotte last year.

I think it's fair, I just think Coker potentially helps to answer our most pressing questions more than Lloyd does and I'm just not trying to make knee jerk decisions to try to bandaid a roster together. There will be LBs that hit the waiver wire that can fill the gap. Literally and figuratively. A big part of what made our LBs look so horrific last year was the DL in front of them and it should be greatly improved this year.

I hate to tell you this, but we're almost certainly not winning the SB this year and may not even compete for a playoff berth. I literally only care about four things this season. 1) Make the call on Bryce. He finally looked like an actual NFL QB in the second half of last year but we're rapidly approaching the point we have to make a decision if he's the guy or we need to move on and swing again. 2) Development of young pass catchers. We've spent a lot of draft capital and have a lot of unproven young bodies, who's gonna rise to the top. 3) The young rookie pass rushers. How are they looking? 4) Just overall continued development of the team and the staff. I want to see that we're heading in the right direction. Jalen Coker potentially helps with #1 and #2. Where does Devin Lloyd help? Arguably #4? Maybe? I'm keeping Coker. I have zero desire to keep trying to duct tape together the best bad roster we can manage.

With this organizations history of paying LBs the last thing I want to do is trade a promising young WR for a disappointing former 1st round LB going into a contract year. Sounds like a recipe for salary cap disaster to me.

Into the 20s! So from 32 to 29? Oh damn! Let's go!!!! Dude, he's a 1st round disappointment who the second worst D in the league is ready to punt on. We have no idea what we have at WR in our youngsters. Bryce is going into what should be his final prove it year. Yeah, I'm definitely sticking with the promising young WR. I have no idea why Coker wasn't in Minnesota and I honestly don't really care.

The Jags had the second worst defense in the league last year behind us and they're ready to punt this guy. That kinda says it all. No thanks, I'll keep my young WR who has shown some promise especially considering we only have two proven WRs on the roster one of whom is trying to work his way back into the league after a two year health related absence.

No. Stop trying to bandaid together the best bad roster we can manage. Coker has shown good potential. We can find a serviceable LB or two on the waiver wire as other teams make cuts.

He was on the same Clemson teams as Deshaun Watson. Guaranteed some weird stuff was going on in that locker room.

I'm honestly surprised they didn't just cut him on the spot. I'm sure there's something in his contract about weight and when he showed up still sloppy fat I would've just been like, "Yeah, best of luck. You really need to lose a lot of weight for the sake of your health but this is an NFL training camp not fat camp."

He didn't even do the 3 cone. He had a terrible shuttle time. Like middle of the road for a DE type of shuttle time. I think he basically put all his eggs in the 40 basket and just flat out choked. The speed and quickness shows up on the field and honestly that's all I care about.

Honestly, my interest in college sports has waned tremendously in recent years. Hard to keep up with it when you don't recognize the names of 80% of the roster because of the constant transfers. I mean, we have a kid suiting up for the basketball team this year who is like 24 and has been playing pro ball in Europe for several years. And we're not the only ones with that type of player. WTF is that??? They're really gonna have to figure out something going forward or they're going to kill the golden goose.

Sounds like UNC is heading to the SEC. This has been whispered about for years but never this loudly and widespread. I mean, you have Paul Finnebaum the guy known as the "Voice of the SEC" saying it's gonna happen now.

We needed receivers. Period. When your best receiver was an aging over the hill 34 year old vet you need receivers. I think those of you expecting T-Mac to be a slow plodding soft guy like Funchess are gonna be surprised. He doesn't have the physicality of KB but he's not soft like Funchess and he's quicker and faster than both. Expect something similar to Drake London. He had two solid seasons with trash QB play then blossomed in year three to put up nearly 1300 yards.

I'm for having a variety of receivers with different strengths. Honestly, Horn is likely to be used primarily as a return man as a rookie. Can't see finding a lot of snaps for him in front of T-Mac, XL, Coker, Renfrow, and Thielen. I mean, he's gonna be the #6 WR/return man injuries aside.

Deion annoys the poo out of me but I wish him nothing but the best in health.

Hopefully less and less as the season goes on as youngsters prove they're worthy of more snaps.

Yep, Renfrow returning to form and making this team would be awesome. We have a ton of unproven young talent but outside of aging Thielen we have nothing in terms of vet presence.

Never made it to any. I was living in Colorado for all of the Cam era. Made it to a few games during that era, but no tailgates.

Yeah, it was a whole thing. https://x.com/JaKiTruth/status/1895862647717036202?t=RNULDDc3y4gxLp1K7QPEDQ&s=19 Mid-4.4s is nothing to scoff at but talking about breaking the record then missing by two full tenths is pretty wild, not gonna lie. LOL! He also had the slowest shuttle time of all the WRs by over a full tenth. All but two TEs had faster shuttle times. Every CB and all but one safety had faster shuttle times. Literally half the DEs and all but three LBs, hell even a DT put up a faster shuttle time. The kid is definitely quick and it shows up in the clips, but for talking such a big game he sure bombed showing it off ont he stopwatch on Indy. LOL

This. They're Panthers greats, but not HOFers and that's fine. They were great players and can hold their head high regarding their careers. Both had a chance to have HOF careers though. TD had much of his prime robbed by three ACL injuries and Olsen was a late bloomer who had to get out of Chicago to blossom. He was basically a JAG for the first five years of his career before he became the player he was expected to be.

Love the fire but would prefer for our guys not to be lighting each other up during camp. Leave the hit stick for Sundays against other teams.

I know Jimmy Horn got mocked for saying he was going to break the Combine 40 record then showing up and running mid-4.4s but the kid is definitely quick as hell and it clearly shows up in the clips I've seen.

Hoping Demani Richardson keeps looking good. He was a guy I was keeping an eye on in the draft last year in the mid to late rounds and I was borderline shocked when he went undrafted. Not saying I expected then or expect now that he'll be a starter but I think he's a NFL roster caliber player.
