Think Peanut is coming back now?

We have two young corners that need grooming, and we're not done yet.  He hasn't retired, and while he's in rehab he's pretty much said that it's "nothing" and given signs he may come back for another year.  

Do you think it's in the cards?

As an assistant/intern coach or otherwise not part of the 53...I'd go for it.

"Grooming" from a player is like combing your hair with other hair. At some point a comb ( or bush for you with more hair) is needed. If Peanut has something he wants to give, I'd rather it come from him on the sidelines. Heavens knows those boys will need all the reps they can handle.

I don't know...last year we went into the season with only 4 corners, and one of them was almost exclusively a special teamer (Teddy Williams). Of course it's feasible we keep more this time, and by season's end we had 5 on the roster; but you've gotta think our 2 (thus far)  rookies, Bene, and Boykin are pretty much guaranteed spots. Tillman is still better than any of McClain, Young, or Williams; just not sure if we'll bring him back instead of giving time to the new guys.

With drafting two corners. probably not, sad to say.  I think we could really use his leadership in that room and being a mentor to these rookies, but maybe there's some other way to make that happen - hiring him as a coach...

Can someone clarify for me, if Peanut WERE to come back and be on the PUP, could he practice with the team?  I'm thinking not, which means that even though he'd not be taking up a roster spot on the PUP, he wouldn't be able to be on the field with the kids, thus defeating the purpose...

He can attend practices and do training stuff, just not take part in drills.

I don't think so. Peanut ran out of gas mid season last year even before his injury. 

I think he would be a great mentor for these young guys.  But it will be hard to fit him on the 53 man roster given how he wore down so quickly last year.  

I am confident that Wilkes can mold these young guys.

      Panthers Preseason

      Ideally Bryce and the other starters should get at least a full quarter and an argument could be made for 2 full quarters given how they've played early in the season the last few years.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
