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

      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 competiveness and both sides of the ball 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? 🫡

      It's also worth noting that Cam himself said that he felt safer when running vs. sitting in the pocket because he could see the contact coming and could better prepare for it. A QB running the ball doesn't have to be a sledgehammer. He just has to be effective.

      That Falcons game is about as good as it gets. Especially on the road. I know the Falcons defense was bad but he was cooking with Coker, an undrafted rookie get the bulk of the receptions. If your QB has 5 TDs and 0 turnovers he is playing like a top QB, yardage be damned. The big question for me is how consistently can be play the whole season?  I don’t expect a game like that every week, but I also don’t want to see any performances like the pre benching or that Cowboys game (which was bad post benching). Bryce’s best shot at being the guy is becoming a mini-Burrow who is about as consistent as you can get at the QB position.  The good news is this QB class should be a fun one. So hopefully Bryce becomes the guy, if not it’s a nice class to let DC pick his QB and they should come into a great situation with a good OL, RB, young talented WRs etc…
