Final Panther cuts 8-30-2014

[rippadonn]

I will say this, if the TE corps increases its production over last year and Benjamin eclipses Smitty's stats from last year, we have to say we have improved.

I'd also add that if Philly Brown can channel Teddy Ginn this group could be very dangerous from years to come. Looking at Benjamin now, how many teams just passed on a #1 receiver? Dummies

Scott is a bit curious. It looks as though 68 and 69 made it. (Norwell Velasco)

[TrianglePanther]

Idk, he hasn't shown us much on the receving part. He had a few catches

If your making references to Ginn against N.O, then yes we should have kept him

He's asking if you can trust Philly to successfully field a punt in crunch time. I can't.

Yeah, if we don't add any help at WR, which I anticipate, I'm really hoping that Dickson and Williams make the difference.

I expect KB to have an awesome year, but it just irritates me when the FO let Smitty go when he still could've helped us AND then completely neglected the position outside of KB. Yes, I know we signed Avant and Cotch, but to me, those are the equivalent of NBA teams signing 40-year old vets to show the kids how to be a pro. Not great football moves, IMO.

BUT, I digress... back to the cuts, lol.

Disagree.

That is all.

Philly didn't take King's spot, Bersin did. They were very similar players but Bersin was better.

[beastson]

No I mean as a returner. Can you confidently put him out there late in the fourth quarter of a one score game to return a punt?

 

Return one? He hasn't shown any explosiveness no. He needs to worry about catching before he thinks about what he's going to do next with the ball

King lacked STs, he was a only a 4/5 WR. He still could be placed on PS, with so many new WRs and FAs, its a fairly good shot. Both brown and bersin play STs. I've seen bersin on coverage team for awhile. King is too light for most STs unless he can return..... which isn't him.

Scott just a OG, I believe the rookie craveman 2.0 and the guy form pitt(coming off ach) can play more than just OG. Still he's a surprise to me. Gary williams can play OG too.

Look at brockel, if he only played TE, well he'd never would have been on the 53. He can play FB, all four ST phases, TE, slot etc. The more you can do, the more value you have.

This is my point exactly. 

[methodtoll]

King sucked. Move on people.

I wouldn't go that far. I think King is talented but he was over shadowed by Bersin and Brown.

King did make some plays when the ball was thrown his way. I just think he wasn't given to many opportunities during preseason.

Most Huddlers aren't aware that we are simply trimming the fat off this team.

 

ISWYD and bravo.

 

Scott isn't any good and King isn't a ST player. If he made the roster, he would be inactive.

What if Smitty was the #2, or slot on this receiving corp? What could have been...

I'm hearing Panthers plan to keep center Brian Folkerts. Was Kalil's backup last year.

Lol, imagine this scenario. You wake up one morning. You go to Steve before the game. You tell him kelvin Benjamin, a rookie, is going to be targeted more than him and Steve is now officially a #2.

Good luck.

Please don't derail this......
