ESPN says we're the 7th most injured team this year

7. Carolina Panthers

ESPN analyst Cris Carter said the Panthers couldn't win more than seven games after star wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin suffered a season-ending knee injury in training camp. The Panthers are 5-0. That they've done this with Benjamin and defensive end Frank Alexander (Achilles) out for the season -- not to mention other key injuries along the defense -- has been impressive. But the injuries have taken their toll. The Panthers' wide receiver corps ranks last in the NFL in most categories, and Carolina's sacks are down, as the defense has been forced to create quarterback pressure more with blitzes than the past three seasons. -- David Newton
Players out for season: WR Kelvin Benjamin (knee), DE Frank Alexander (Achilles), WR Stephen Hill (knee), OT Nate Chandler (knee)
Players injured: DE Charles Johnson (hamstring), LB Luke Kuechly(concussion), WR Jerricho Cotchery (hamstring), DT Star Lotulelei (foot), DEJared Allen (pinched nerve), LB A.J. Klein (concussion)
Total starts missed: 48 -- Benjamin (16), Alexander (16), Johnson (7), Kuechly (3), Cotchery (2), Lotulelei (2), Allen (1), Klein (1)

    • He really impressed last night. Accurate. Lightning release and throws a ball that 100% passes the eye test. He drastically upped his draft stock showing out like he did on the biggest stage in college football. 
    • I am not at all up for under 6' myself. That list is small and unimpressive, I really can't think of anyone but Wilson in that category recently I would call good that I can think of. Murray could have made it work but he is incredibly dense IMO. That's just bad odds. Over 6'? Shouldn't be an issue by itself.  100% on the second part. That's what matters first and would dictate an exception.   
    • I’m pretty sure he isn’t referring to outliers. Lamar is the most athletic QB in history, Top 1% athleticism. I get his point, about the ideal QB being 6’3 or taller.  Kind of funny how billion dollar QB needy organizations refuse to look at QB’s they just don’t like. Org’s rather flounder than be flexible. Lamar, Shedur….etc  Both QB’s we could make the argument we could have had.  Shedur would have been a distraction to finally see if Bryce was worth the draft spot (and Bryce emphatically isn’t) but we would have a low capital investment for 2026. Allowing us to invest resources in the defense (Sonny Styles etc..)
