That is huge (literally) for the Panthers. These are big boys in the mold of Gettleman's Hog Mollies. Norwell was not much of a surprise to me, liked him since day 1 of camp. Foucault though is a big surprise.

 

Agree with keeping them both?

 

I mean no disrespect to either of them, but our talent at OT helped their chances quite a bit.

 

As for surprises, Norwell not so much because he can play pretty much anywhere and we always crush on those guys. Foucault a little but I agree with not exposing him to waivers if they think he can play and don't want to expose him. And both looked pretty good especially given how they came to the team.

I think Foucault could be holding Alexander's roster spot. You stash him on the roster long enough for teams to get settled in and then waive him and put him on the PS once Alexander is activated. 

 

Just a theory of mine.

I think Folkerts is the least versatile lineman we have and that could get him cut.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
