Think this is another one of those threads where we just pick names out of a hat and say we should sign them. Do you even have any clue who this guy is? I told you in an earlier post that we would sign a no name guy who was young and had limited experience but was cheap.

Word from Gantt is that just such a guy is visiting the Panthers as we speak and is getting a physical and will sign shortly. If it is before Kemo is put on IR then we will be losing another player momentarily. Apparently we worked Jackson out recently and put him on the short emergency list.

And how do you know that we have better players on the roster already. You don't know anything about this guy and you barely know about the players on the roster. One thing is for certain, no two things are certain: 1) We're salary cap strapped and 2) Fox has a good rep of picking good players. If you're a fan, be a fan. If you're a @#$%^ shutup

nice. say it with me.......championship.

Seriously, I guess we will have to wait till preseason starts to get an idea of what we might look like on the DL. Someone needs to play above expectations.

come on guys... let's just take a step back and RELAXXXX. if you guys remember when Jenkins went down and Jordan Cartsens stepped in, he was an unproven player that did well for us. We have 4 or 5 guys that can easily be a solid player for us @ that position. The odds are pretty good that one of those 4 or 5 players we have in camp RIGHT NOW could earn that starting spot.

CAMP BODY INDEED! Nothing to see here:

Kind of negates all the positives...

POSITIVES: Explosive run-stuffer in the middle of the line. Quick off the snap, plays with leverage and was consistently focused on by opponents. Flashes power, gets push up the field and is forceful in the middle of the line. Tough, yet also plays smart football.

Kind of negates all the negatives.

lol, Yeah, you could look at it either way, but being that he is only about 311 lbs., I don't think he's as much of a run-stuffer as this 'scouting report' suggests. It may have appeared that way in college, but I don't remember seeing a "stout-against-the-run" DT being less then 325 lbs. or so.

On top of that, his 40 time wasn't great either. I'd like to know his strength numbers though. His size suggests he does play with good leverage ("low man wins"), but we'll have to see. I do just think he's a body though.

Aside from that, I did see some posts on a Chiefs board, and a lot of the fans there thought he played well and "had potential."

Give it a few weeks, we haven't even gotten to the first round of cuts yet. I bet there will a gem on the waiver wire. And sure as you're born, some vet DT is gonna get cut who can fill in for a year. Anyone who we sign right now, I would assume is not in serious contention for the starting gig.

      PGA Tour disrespect Dave Tepper and the Carolina Panthers

      By BlazeCarolina · Posted

      Very true.  Sports are also getting crazier than ever.  I have seen full blown armored fights making a combat.  Bonkers to me Medieval fights are a thing again.  I don't watch it enough to know, but how has someone not died or been seriously injured?

      Definitely not a classy move.  They deleted it, though.  Maybe they realized that.  Maybe they got a call from Tepp lol.

      The Evolution of the Panthers WR Room from 2023 to 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      Wanted to take a step back and look at how the Panthers' WR room has evolved over the past three seasons... especially now that Bryce finally has a corps with defined roles and actual upside heading into 2025. It's been a journey from stopgap veterans to a room that actually feels built for a modern NFL offense. We've come a long way from DJ Chark and TMJ. Speaking of... 2023: Inseparable WRs: Adam Thielen (slot), DJ Chark (X), Terrace Marshall Jr. (Y), Jonathan Mingo (rookie), Laviska Shenault, Ihmir Smith-Marsette What Happened: Bryce's rookie year. Thielen was productive but heavily targeted out of necessity. Chark couldn't stay healthy, and TMJ didn't break out (again). Mingo was raw and got bounced between roles. Shenault was a gadget guy. ISM was a special teams guy that eventually took Shenault's role. No clear WR1, no deep speed threat, and nothing consistent beyond Thielen. Bryce was throwing into tight windows constantly. TMJ started at Y but was inactive after Shenault returned. Mingo was drafted by Reich/Fitterer, while TMJ was a Rhule/Hurney holdover - so Mingo got more looks down the stretch as a possible possession WR2.  Verdict: Ultimately, this was a group of veteran placeholders and miscast youth that had no real identity and was built for survival rather than development. 2024: The Reset WRs: Adam Thielen (slot), Diontae Johnson (X), Xavier Legette (Y, rookie), Jonathan Mingo, Jalen Coker (rookie), David Moore What Changed: New leadership brought in two guy to try and provide some juice to a group that was at the bottom of the league in separation. They traded for Diontae to play the X and up to #32 to draft XL as a long term Y with WR1 upside. Mingo backed up the slot and rotated outside before being dealt. Coker, a UDFA, started flashing early doing what was being asked of Mingo. Diontae was moved midseason after attitude issues. Mingo was dealt to Dallas with a 7th in exchange for a 2025 3rd - insane value considering Coker's emergence and what other WR trades have netted teams. Coker stepped into WR3 duties after the trades and held it down until Thielen returned from injury. XL earned praise for his toughness playing thru injury but had issues with drops that frustrated fans. Hopefully, his timing with Bryce improves in 2025. Coker filled that power slot/possession role the team hoped Mingo would grow into, and he did it with more consistency.  Verdict: The room got younger and more intentional. Diontae and Mingo weren't fits (the former due to attitude, the latter due to scheme), and once they were out, you could see the group trending upward. 2025: Real ID Projected WRs: Tetairoa McMillan (X), Xavier Legette (Y), Adam Thielen (slot), Jalen Coker, Jimmy Horn Jr (rookie)., and a battle for WR6 (David Moore, Hunter Renfrow, Jacolby George) The Vision: TMac was the pick at #8 overall and finally gives Bryce a real X with size, body control, and a presence in the red zone. XL gets to stay at the Y where he is a better fit until he develops further. AT becomes the vet/mentor rather than having to be WR1 as a slot receiver in his mid-30s. Coker offers rotational size and reliability to go along with his excellent hands. Jimmy Horn Jr. brings some of the speed and agility that Diontae brought last year, but with value as a returner as well. WR6 could come down to who brings more value on ST. It wouldn't surprise me to see Renfrow stashed on the PS. Verdict: Finally feels like a WR room built for Bryce instead of just giving him a few guys and demanding that he make them a top-10 unit. It has structure... size on the outside, RAC potential, vets inside, and defined depth roles. We've still got plenty of questions waiting to be answered: Who wins the WR6 spot? Does XL take the next step in year two? Does TMac hold up to expectations for a top-8 draft pick? Is the room truly improved or does it still lack a true separator amongst them? Still.. it's pretty cool stepping back and seeing how things have evolved over the last few seasons.
