Panthers will reportedly sign DT TJ Jackson.........who???

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.

    • They know within 15 mins.  Many moons ago skins drafted Heath Shuler at like 5th overall and Gus Frerotte in the late rounds. You know the plan, its Heaths team. Old OLman stink said within 15 minutes they knew Gus was the better QB.  I didn't need 15 or players on the same field, I just knew like Bill said "he better walk on water", which he hasn't. I do blame tepper mainly for it, he spend the greater part of 2 year telling everyone Watson would be a panther......and fail....but a great fail...then Stanford turned panthers down.....tepper was beyond pissed and wanted a QB. He forced the trade and picked BY......and now by .....some grace of the gods formed a team with 4 QBs of no hope...... insane given the other roster spots.....
    • He definitely knows nothing about the Panthers, but there’s no denying he’s a pioneer in this whole draft grading and mock draft field.
    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep.
