Eleven Panthers become Free Agents

http://www.panthers.com/news/article-2/Eleven-Panthers-Become-Free-Agents/8ace9ae0-b685-4812-9694-e16033b8e25b

WR Jerricho Cotcheryicon-article-link.gif: A favorite target on third downs this past season with 13 NFL seasons under his belt, the last two with Carolina.

CB Cortland Finneganicon-article-link.gif: Ten-year veteran virtually came out of retirement late last season to serve as nickel corner, a position that isn't clear-cut for Carolina going forward.

OT Tyronne Greenicon-article-link.gif: Hasn't played in a game since 2012 and spent last season on injured reserve with an Achilles injury.

S Roman Harpericon-article-link.gif: A leader in Carolina's secondary the last two seasons after spending his first eight years with the Saints.

DT Kyle Loveicon-article-link.gif: An important rotational player last season who recorded three sacks behind starters Kawann Shorticon-article-link.gif and Star Lotuleleiicon-article-link.gif .

P Brad Nortmanicon-article-link.gif: The only punter ever drafted by the Panthers averaged a career-best 45.4 yards per punt in 2015 but was below 40 yards in net punting average for the third time in his four seasons.

G Amini Silatoluicon-article-link.gif: Second-round draft pick started 15 games as left guard as a rookie in 2012, but injuries limited him to 19 games over the last three seasons.

CB Charles Tillmanicon-article-link.gif: It's fair to wonder if the veteran of 13 seasons who had the last three seasons cut short by injuries will play in 2016, especially coming off a torn anterior cruciate ligament.

C Fernando Velascoicon-article-link.gif: The versatile backup each of the past two seasons was out of football before re-signing with the Panthers last season after Week 1.

QB Joe Webbicon-article-link.gif: Blossomed into a valuable special teams performer who can also play quarterback and even wide receiver if need be.

DE Frank Alexandericon-article-link.gif: The Panthers didn't make a qualifying offer to the exclusive rights free agent who is currently serving a one-year suspension that isn't scheduled to be lifted until late November.

And one is already gone...

Um.... that article at Panthers.com lists Webb among the Free Agents.  I thought he got a 2 year deal?  Was that not confirmed?

Hasn't officially signed yet.

Plus that summary was probably already written.

In reference to that Gettleman quote about not trying to win the SB in March.... did others of you see the really cool article (at least for a stats geek like me) at BBR this afternoon. 

Statistical evidence that teams spending less in free agency win more.  Very interesting:

    • PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.   
    • Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor. 
    • Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
