They might be Giants...

As of right now, the Panthers only have nine players on their eighty man roster that are under six feet tall.

 

The shortest players on the team right now...

 

RB DeAngelo Williams  (5-9)

RB Kenjon Barner  (5-9)
FB Mike Tolbert  (5-9)

RB Jonathan Stewart  (5-10)
WR Kealoha Pilares  (5-10)
CB De'Andre Presley  (5-10)
CB Charles Godfrey  (5-11)

CB Josh Thomas  (5-11)
CB De'Quan Menzie  (5-11)

 

About half the list is runningbacks and about half cornerbacks.  You might notice that the sub-six crown includes only one wide receiver (Kealoha Pilares).

 

On the flipside, there are twelve players measuring in at 6'5 or higher.  They are...
 

QB Cam Newton  (6-5)

WR Kelvin Benjamin  (6-5)

TE Greg Olsen  (6-5)

T Byron Bell  (6-5)

G Phillipkeith Manley  (6-5)

DE Wes Horton  (6-5)

DE Alex Hall  (6-5)

QB Derek Anderson  (6-6)
TE D.C. Jefferson  (6-6)

T Andrew McDonald  (6-6)
T Oscar Johnson  (6-6)
T Travis Bond  (6-7)

 

The majority of the 'tallest of the tall' are linemen on one side of the ball or the other.  But also on that list you have two quarterbacks who top 6'5.  In case you're wondering, the shortest quarterback on roster right now is Matt Blanchard, who stands 6'3.  You'll also see two tight ends listed.  There are currently six tight ends on roster, and the only one who stands shorter than 6'4 is TE/FB tweener Richie Brockel (6'1).

 

So a dozen guys 6'5 and up.  And - without listing them all - to that you can add eleven guys who stand 6'3 and sixteen who measure in at 6'4.  That totals thirty-nine total players at 6'3 and up, right at half the existing roster.

 

I haven't done a study of average height across the league, but I think it's fairly safe to say that as far as the Panthers go, the team braintrust seems to have a preference for guys on the top end of the height chart.

I didn't realize Derek Anderson was that tall.

Yeah. I thought the same thing when we first signed him. Then, I was at the training camp shortly after he arrived, and he is a big dude. I mean, he and Cam are very similar in size.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      Derrick Brown Snubbed

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
