Tyler Gaffney Panthers Comparison

If I had to choose a Panthers player form the past to compare Tyler Gaffney to, I would have to go with Stephen Davis. In addition to having nearly the same size, they appear to have the same game as well.

 

 

 

The Similarities:

 

  • Both just over 6 foot.
  • Both around 220ish
  • Both have shorter strides while running. Davis learned to run lower in the NFL, Gaffney hopefully will as well.
  • Both are more straight forward runners, have limited shiftiness, and aren't afraid of contact.
  • Both have the patience to let their blocks develop and follow them well.
  • Stephen Davis selected in the 4th in 1996. That might translate today to the 7th or even an UDFA. Gaffney of course drafted in the 6th.

so is barner cut? or other? seems NO room unless a injury happens. before the draft, ive even heard mike zordich was making the team. plus the numbers at TE dont help either(over full). i did read a few sites had a 4th round grade on him(meh).

Scat back, possibly a replacement for Barner?

Sent from my iPhone using CarolinaHuddle

I'm not so sure I see the quickness from Reeves to be a scat back. When watching Reaves, first thing you notice is that hes a super patient runner. Reaves is a tweener, has power back qualities but lacks size, and like I said I don't think he's explosive enough to be a home run hitter type back.

Barner's job to lose imo. My hope is that Barner hit the weight room this offseason and added 10 pounds or so.

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By panfanman · Posted

      Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?

      When we didn't trade him to the Rams or the Bears (I believe the Bears said they would take one of Brown/ Burns/DJ Moore) we should have just signed him and kept him.  We should have traded him to the Rams obviously and we should have kept DJ and traded Burns.  We made all three wrong choices with Burns lol.
