interesting no OTs

S - Landon Collins, Shaq Thompson

DL - Jordan Phillips, Arik Armstead

WR - Devin Smith, Philip Dorsett

"There are a lot of ways the Panthers can go at No. 25, and Mayock believes Shaq Thompson or Landon Collins could be options if they're around to fill a need at safety. Jordan Phillips and Arik Armstead might be worth a look if the Panthers decide to address the defensive line. Finally, Mayock sees them grabbing a speedy wideout such as Devin Smith or Philip Dorsett later, as well."

Give me someone who can score some freakin touchdowns. Our biggest issue last year was putting the ball in the endzone. We could move the ball...we could stop other teams. We need a touchdown maker. Best case scenario is one of the stud receivers being there (Adams, cooper, white) but I'm not hopeful. No matter what we need guys who can score.

It doesn't have to be the guy carrying the ball into the endzone.  If we had a competent LT, we'd score more TDs.  Having to constantly help out Bell really hamstrings our entire offense.

      Who will blow it Sunday?

      BPA comes with the caveat of positional value and roster need included. Never let the latter two completely overwhelm the first, however. Our FO seems to lean heavily into "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE POTENTIALZ!!!" as a fourth category and often it seems as the #1 overall pursuit. With as many needs as this roster has, I am not going to get upset over a real roster upgrade at WR versus some reach at EDGE or whatever other extreme needs we have. Overall, I want to see the roster get better. There is far, far, FAR more than one offseason of work left to get this roster into the top 10-12 in the NFL. That should be the goal.

      I would say we are more likely to get smoked by Tampa, blast Seattle and then perplexingly lose to Tampa again.

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

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      In general, Dave Canales tends to target his TE's the least frequently of any position group(WR/RB/TE) during his three years of running an NFL offense.  However, if you notice this percentage has crept up over time. 2025 is the first year that TE has eclipsed RB in target percentage. Production has also gone up in 2025. This is a percentage of total output in each category. Canales has always used a very TE heavy offense. In fact, on average his offensive formations are 2 or 3 TE sets roughly 80% of all offensive formations. So, the question may be, with this uptick in total TE output, could an elite or top tier TE make a significant impact? I believe there is some evidence this may be the case. Here are a look at TE snaps and Cade Otten specifically. These are the snap percentages for all rostered TE's in every Dave Canales offense. The bolded cell is Cade Otten's whopping 96.46% of total snap counts in the single year he was in the Dave Canales offense in Tampa. This was overwhelmingly his career high. His production was higher with less utilization in 2024, however.    In conclusion, while I don't anticipate ever seeing a top 5 producing/Pro Bowl caliber TE performance in a Dave Canales offense, there does appear to be some evidence that an actual upgrade in our TE room would actually lead to increasing overall offensive efficiency. I think Otten's utilization rate does indicate that the splitting of time between our relatively even TE group would cede significant snaps if a far superior option were available. I believe this is an area we could(and should have this past offseason/draft) made a more concerted effort to get a dynamic TE threat, after the apparent failure that J. Sanders appears to have been.
