Looks like we have 6 open roster spots to be filled before training camp after the draft and UDFAs. I'd bet we pick up a couple of the guys being released post-draft and sign a few of the tryout guys.

One of these QBs we keep bringing in year after year has to eventually stick.  DA can't play forever, and they aren't going to stick with Webb back there given his multi-faceted role.

I'm assuming that this is just a camp arm...

DA just signed an extension last year.  He's still got 2 years (2016 & 2017 under contract)

Agree. I've been a little surprised they don't keep one on the practice squad all the time, just to develop and have someone who knows your system.

I would generally agree, but Getts has definitively stated that he doesn't bring anyone to camp that he's not seriously considering.  I take that with a grain of salt, of course.  Obviously we don't want a journeyman camp arm, but if we're not seriously considering these prospects, then we need to bring in some QBs that can push DA and Webb.  Just wishful thinking, is all.

Missed out on Mike Rose from NC State.. Giants front office looking good so far. Carolina..? Eh.

 

6'6 D End who ran track, 4.5 insanely athletic. Local guy. From Greenville SC. NC State must be too big... If he went to Jacksonville State or san jose community college he might be wearing black n blue

    • So, objectively, you'd say from a holistic review of Rico's performance and the team overall there were at least a dozen players on the team that performed at least as well if not better in their roles?
    • I'm not a huge fan of BY, but he does have some clutchness developing
    • While you're correct, people are just sick of being told, "you don't understand this, you're dumb" despite what their eyes say. This applies to the Panthers and anything else in life. This board can be a miserable place, but this isn't the old days anymore because Social Media & Reddit have hijacked old-school forum users.  I have in the last year or so taken a massive step back from Social Media & Reddit. Deleted accounts on both, I only have X/Twitter now. But I was looking for an outlet for Panthers talk and I did not want to do that on X much at all. There are only two legitimate outlets for that I've found, here and SB Nation. SB Nation I used to partake in, but they absolutely bumble-f*cked the comments section, and I like the setup of the posts + comments, as opposed to article + comments. Also, as others have pointed out, being a Panthers fan has been a horrendous existence since Cam left. Just an awful crew of coaches, draft picks, trading away great players, etc. It's been miserable.  Ever since Tepper bought the team, I hoped that he commit to a full rebuild. He never did, he thought there were shortcuts and so did Rhule. This hamstrung us for years, and then he massively overstepped with the BY trade.  This ruined the team building, because there was no depth, and then it ruined nuanced BY discussions because of the insane haul we gave up. He will never live up to that, I think many people are finally wrapping their heads around that now which is good. The best thing for this board to get better is for the Panthers to win more, draft well, and to stay committed to crawling through this Andy Dufrense poop-pipe to escape the depths of NFL hell. It will be ugly and stink along the way, but you can see already this year if we commit to drafting then the team and the vibes can turn around quicker than you think.  I am extremely optimistic about the draft class this season, it's something to watch, talk about, and celebrate. It also gives Dan and I think by extension Dave Canales more of a leash, which I think we need to give them and grant them the time to turn this boat around.
