Plummer's ball placement is shaky

Go dawg!

“He’s got the ability to separate. Reminds me a lot of A.J. Brown, how tough he is at the top of his routes and how fast he is at his size. Even when you get a good jam on him, he can knock it down and still get his top speed. He’s real physical and real fast.” Call Jaycee Horn a homer all you want, but he knows more than you do about these things. https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/panthers-news-xavier-legette-draws-aj-brown-comp-from-star-teammate

"Talking about his rookie drops makes his trademark smile disappear. "'Those were the main ones, the bad ones,' Legette said in an interview with ESPN. 'It affected me in a way; how it made me feel. Just how we lost those games. It could have changed [the outcome].' Legette admitted the drops got into his head. "'It's always gonna be the next-play mentally,' he said. 'But it always will be in the back of my head, trying to focus on catching.''' https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46015325/nfl-carolina-panthers-xavier-legette-tetairoa-mcmillan If I were to give X advice, it would be to continue to work on the mechanics. Make sure you look the ball into your hands and secure it. Everything else will take care of itself. I don't know that thinking about catching balls is the way to go. That could end up as pressing, kind of like the yips for a kicker. Be steadfast about the mechanics and just catch. It becomes just a natural occurrence or consequence of consistently working on the mechanics.

It's not surprising, but it's still surprising that many of these guys don't manage their money in such a way that provides them and their families a better lifestyle than most for the rest of their lives without even working a nine-to-five. I can't imagine making over a 100 mil for a decade and ultimately ruminating about supporting my family due to financial issues.

It's always nice to literally see another perspective, as it can provide insight. Honestly, I'm not going to make any definitive statements at least until the regular season starts. During this time of year, we feel a little freer to make all kinds of judgments, however outlandish, based on emotion more than anything else. Historically, we won't know what we really have until late September to the middle of October. There's really little reason to get too low or too high. There will be real football soon, then some of the doom and gloom and/or optimism may mean something.

Fùck him!

He's 30.

Ah, another unbeliever. I can't blame you. I am just not ready to come to that conclusion. I don't see Morgan as an extension of Fitterer, at least intellectually; I know that Morgan could be a virtual Fitterer clone, but another season will provide more answers. As for the belief that we can't find an answer to a problem out of final cuts, I just never ascribe to that notion because there are diamonds in the rough. For example, just think about how many teams would've put in a claim for Frankie Luvu when he was originally cut from the Jets in 2018 had they done their homework. I do understand that it may not be likely, but when a roster is as thin as ours, the likelihood that someone may make a difference is a little greater.

Not trying to blow him up. He's a great special teams player though. I always considered him a smart player and wondered why he never got more time on the actual defense, but the coaches know more than I do.

You should know better than that. Bryce was under pressure sliding to his right, and his feet weren't exactly set. "Extremist optimists?" That's a stretch if I have ever seen one. Come on, Frank.

He want the only one, Rhattigan always plays with energy.

I know, right. People must've forgotten Dalton's record last year.

Every deal's valuation is based upon the details. Interest ultimately means little unless a deal is finalized.

There are more than a few NFL types, ex-players, ex-players turned analysts, and analysts in general that have said that Shedeur Sanders had no business falling to the fifth round. I've heard Browns fans say it, and other teams' fans say it. But here, on the Carolina Huddle, you still have Panthers fans clutching onto a narrative about all these questions about Sanders' ability that were largely magnified once he began to slide. Yes, on the months, weeks and days leading up to the draft, no one thought that Sanders would slide to day three of the draft, so the "5th round" distinction, though true, is not a pure representation of Sanders' talent and skills and what he actually brings to the table. Some believe he should have really been drafted in the first round, but a day two selection was at least believable. Round 5? Not so much, even to more casual NFL fans (at least that's my experience from talking to people, listening and reading). Now, of course, fans are just fans, what do they know? Sometimes, it appears that they know more than people who are actually paid to make personnel decisions (and that's not necessarily hyperbole). I tell you this because it's food for thought. Excuse me if I don't prioritize Panthers fans' opinions of Shedeur Sanders over people's who actually played the game, many current Browns fans, and other analysts who are paid to analyze for a living. It may have been too far outside the box to think that Sanders would have been given an opportunity to legitimately compete for Bryce Young's job in Carolina in light of the situation and the way that the Panthers' front office rolls, but I don't think it's a stretch to say that he could have been legitimate competition (round 5 or not).

Plenty of Clevelanders said that Sanders should get more snaps with the first team because he had actually been the best QB in training camp. So, we don't understand all the dynamics going on, but being named the "starting QB," especially for a rookie, is probably going to take more than two or three practices (especially before the first preseason game).

Hell, I didn't realize that they were talking about what happened in joint practices. They thought that heat was causing the issue, but it was a collapsed lung.

Hell, I was wanting us to draft Shedeur once he lasted to day three. I thought that he could add some legit competition, but it was never going to happen with us thinking so inside the box in terms of Bryce and what I call "draft position bias."

Yeah, that's kind of the point, but we must remember that we were so gutted as far as talent that rebuilding will take extra effort and won't happen overnight.

I mean, I can't say that people are "consistently fighting" against the idea as much as we're waiting to see how things turn out, especially in regards to rookies and second-year players. I mean, if we blow, we blow, but I ain't 100 percent accepting that we're going to suck based on a few preseason snaps. I have way too much experience watching the NFL for that. Hell, some guys ain't even playing in earnest yet.

Maybe not "terribly serious," but it can take 6-8 weeks to fully heal according to the web, depending upon the severity and type of injury. Hopefully it's not cracked ribs or anything that caused it.

The spectre of a preseason injury is always looming. You can't take plays during these games for granted. Now no telling how this all works out.

If his lung was pierced by an injury, that can cause it because leaked air can compress the lung. So can blood or another fluid.

Flacco could be a rich man's Dalton, but that's not saying much.
