Carolina Panthers 2015 Roster Projection

[Mr. Scot]

Important thing to remember when making this list:

Obviously you're going to need a certain quota of players at each spot, but per his own words Gettleman doesn't subscribe to a formula of preset numbers at any position.

As with the draft where his philosophy is 'best player available' Gettleman's roster building is based on the 'best 53'.

Looks about right to me.

 

One thing....why all the Joe Webb love in here?  If Cam goes down, Anderson is the guy, and either way, we are screwed.

[WOW!!]

I think Chris Houston  makes it.. 

I don't see him on your list.. 

[MHS831]

Try this yourself and see how hard it is.  I love the players that Jeremy has on the PS--I would bet 2-3 of them make the roster at some point.  I disagree with about 3-4 players, but this is a place to start.

He makes a good point about Webb, and I am sure he struggled over that one.  Webb is a great attitude and leader.  Tough to cut. 

I still think we go with a pure FB.  Not sure that Tolbert can do that.

[Billy Love]

I like Byrd a lot, and he has looked really good in practice. 

 

But he hasn't taken an NFL hit yet. 

this is true, But, he did play in the SEC and that say's a lot. I worry about his size too but you can't forget how tough SEC defenses are. 

[Billy Love]

Ward has got to make the team. I see him replacing Tolbert ... Not this year but he will replace Tolbert. Ward is a true fullback, and we need to get back to running the football down our opponents throat.

Cotchery and Chandler need to be cut imo. Chandler is the worst starting RT we've ever had in the history of the franchise. Cotchery quit on several routes, sometimes at critical moments, and was covered like a blanket by DEs. Yes defensive ends shut him down, and he quit on the routes and slowly just trailed off. Unacceptable. Steve Smith would have punched him for that. I don't want to hear that Cotchery is some crafty vet, not when quitting on routes and looking around like an idiot who had no idea what just happened. Being around forever doesn't mean he's some wise sage. I don't want Cotchery (who can forget that drop against Seattle that hit him dead square in the hands) causing more coverage sacks on Cam because he's almost never open. And that pillar of ash Chandler has to be cut. I don't care he knows how to play OC, OT, OG, DT, he is TERRIBLE. Cam is in serious danger any time Chandler is on the field.

Hate the RB core as long as Stewart is propped up as a 16 game starter. Artis-Payne must ride to the rescue.

Oline is still a huge question mark.

DB core could use some help.

[gorillamilitia13]

Would you say Brown is basically a lock to make the roster at this point? Its been sounding that way based on your reports.

[Jeremy Igo]

Would you say Brown is basically a lock to make the roster at this point? Its been sounding that way based on your reports.

The only two locks are Kelvin and Devin. But yeah, Brown is the lead dog currently. A few others have catching up to do.

As long as Stewart can play he needs to start. He's way too talented not to. We need to play him while we've got him. I honestly think Fozzy is a pretty good RB too and Todman may have his uses here and there. Artis-Payne has an all around solid skill set. plus Tolbert. RB should  be good to go.
