I guess a mod can sticky it, change the title to your liking, or whatever.... Hopefully people will use it. Post any interesting cuts from other teams that could help us out... Or at least guys you think could help us out.

Dexter Jackson from TB. - I know all he did was return, but he can fly. Also, teams typically sign guys off other teams in their division, so I can see it as a possibility. What do you think?

*LB Stryker Sulak, who we worked out earlier int he offseason was cut by Green Bay. Not sure if it would be worth the trouble now b/c I think Leman and Ivy would be hard to beat out at this point.

*QB Kevin O'Connell was cut from the Patriots. I thought this guy had tons of talent, would like to see what he could do (no worse than McCown, I'm sure). Maybe PS guy?

Several scrub DTs but none better than what we already have.

Not when it's pertaining to who you think could help the Panthers.

Post guys that get cut that you think would be an upgrade or valuable addition... Or guys that you think we could realistically sign.

Saying another team's trash is going to be an upgrade for us, sure doesn't paint a pretty picture.

Look around the league. There are quite a few players that are starters now after being cut from another team. It will be that way until they let teams keep more than 53 players.

A perfect example is Justin Hartwig. He just won a Super Bowl as the Steelers starting center after being cut by the Panthers.

It's rare though. Very low percentage. But hey, you can't gamble unless you try.

Jared Bush was an undrafted guy that all of fans like a few years ago and he got cut and was quickly signed by Green Bay. He hasn't started but has been their nickel and dime corner since then. And the titans have jovan haye and tony brown who were both cuts from us a few years back. If someone decent gets cut I would like to see us improve the depth on the offensive line, safety, maybe corner, or maybe a kick returner would be nice.

I don't think it is that rare. I suppose percentage wise, sure, but look at all the players that have been picked up or went undrafted. Some of the league's best stars are those that didn't make the first cut, or were backups (Delhomme...Warner....Michael Turner....etc).

Wishing we had kept Tony Brown myself... would have helped out this year for sure.

He's another perfect example of the numbers crunch. I guarantee you that John Fox did not want to cut Brown, but the Panthers were loaded at DT that year and somebody had to go. I wish we still had the same problem.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      I'm not saying it shouldn't be a part of his game it should be present yes. But expecting 500/10 in the rushing category is not sustainable IMO. All it's going to take is a defender to be willing to sacrifice a penalty or a fine to send a message just as the Falcons did with Sam Darnold. And even as big and durable as Cam was defenses eventually started to try to send a message to him too. We have to be realistic about not putting our QB at unnecessary risk. Especially given the fact we aren't even willing to run a QB sneak with him. We've also invested a good bit in our backfield that's what they're there for. And furthermore ultimately whatever QB  tier Bryce Young ends up landing in over the course of his career it is going to be defined by what he does as a passer not his rushing ability. That's all I'm saying.

      Bryce had 191 yards 55% completion 1 td 1 pick.  That's an amazing performance?   Come on people

      His footwork has been discussed many times over related to not just within the pocket but the quality of his drop backs and how while his receivers have been an issue his own footwork has created issues with his receivers. It is a mutual give and take dynamic after all. As far as his deep passing goes I will happily admit I saw some very impressive long throws from Bryce later in the season and I said so at the time and I'm still saying so now. That doesn't mean that there still aren't issues and beyond some instances of him flat out missing receivers deep that he knows he needs to get corrected I think there are still some throws to the sideline that defenses are going to test Bryce on early and often and until he can prove he can beat defenses on those throws consistently they will play him the same way. As far as talk of Bryce being top ten and the metrics that define that different people are going to have different answers and I've said before after the conclusion of the 2024 season that I'm going to try to put yardage aside in some cases and just focus on what Bryce is doing both between the 20's moving the ball and how our redzone scoring percentage is looking. The biggest thing I'm looking for this season is scoring points. Not just field goals. Touchdowns. If the offense is moving consistently and reaching the end zone more often than not and not squandering drives and settling for field goals then I am going to be content for the time being. I do not expect miracles this season. I expect development and competiveness on both sides of the ball but particularly the offensive given the investments we've made trending upward. And no blowout losses. I don't think that's an unreasonable ask do you agree? 🫡
