after bringing ted ginn back and drafting funchess i actually think i'd rather have bersin on the roster than hill, as long as he never touches another punt again in his life

I think Cam Newton probably agrees with you. Cam likes Bersin (based on reports).

I just came over to make a thread about this if no one else had....  I find myself agreeing with most of Newton's projected roster, but I do have a few quibbles.

Defense:

CB:  Back in May when I did a 53 man roster projection myself, I was thinking Teddy Williams would make the roster.  That was before Houston was signed.   I think there's some chance we could keep 6 CBs this year for special teams, but it's hard to know where the extra roster spot might come from with so much depth at so many positions,.. 

DE / DT:  Agree with Newton's picks and with keeping 5 DEs and 4 DTs, especially since there's not (yet) a clear replacement for Hardy.

LBs:  I find it hard to believe we'll cut Trusnik who was brought in as a special teams ace.  Perhaps Mayo's draft has made Trusnik obsolete?  Do y'all agree with Newton that Glanton will make the roster?  I'm thinking it might be between Glanton & Trusnik, but I don't know their different skill sets enough to really evaluate and haven't got time to read up on them both right now,  Seems logical we'd keep 9 LBs given our ridiculous depth at this position!

Safeties:  Agree with Newton

Offense:

QBs:  Agree with Newton that Joe Webb, sadly, is history (I predicted that in May...)  Just don't think there's any space for him.

C: I find it hard to believe that Folkerts will be cut.  What other backup is there at Center?  Remmers perhaps?

Guards & OTs: I agree with Newton.

RBs, FBs,  Agree with Newton

TEs:  Not sure I agree 100% that we'll keep Brandon Williams.  Is there a chance we could only keep 3 TEs and that this is perhaps another place a roster space could be freed up for a position where we have just too much depth? (eg. LB, CB)

WR:  I'd be VERY surprised if Hill makes it over Bersin or Boykin.  My bet is now on Bersin (whereas before OTAs I was thinking Boykin).  I see Hill as fallling below both of those.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By panthers55 · Posted

      I see progress and improvements. We aren't the same team we were even at the beginning of this year. You want to harp on the past while I am all about the present and future. Do I know thinks are going to be great moving forward? Actually I don't but I prefer to look at the good instead of the bad. Since he is surely going to be the QB the rest of this year barring injury, I am going to root for him to succeed instead of fail. I always said if we are going to finish at 500 for the year I prefer we win at home since I will be there and want to see wins and crying opposing fans like the cowboys. So far mission accomplished. Now we have to show we can win on the road.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
