Panthers Release Boykin

Mini Huddle meltdown coming, I fear.  Very surprised re: cutting Boykin.

And also Dowling.  We're not exactly deep in veteran safeties either.

Also, Jeremy said Rigsbee looked pretty bad at tackle...  So, not signing another Oline guy is a surprise as well. 

Takes a deep breath.  "In Gettleman I trust"  .... but boy these are not OBVIOUS moves!  He definitely is different from us armchair GMs, may he continue to make us all look VERY VERY SILLY for the moves we THINK he should make.

Just now, Jeremy Igo said:

Has more to do with how good Sanchez looked, imo. 

Agreed, but even you made note of how good Worley looked. I was excited about him when we got him, only to be told of how he was terrible by some.

lol dowling isn't a surprise the dude has played 12 games in 4 years he's damaged goods. 

I didn't have high hopes for him, but we have had some success in rehabilitating and getting success out of other "damaged good" or discards...  figured we could at least have him in Training Camp for competition...

    • We won't know the answer to this for a long time. Reality is, Caleb has been the consensus #1 in that draft for years. Bryce was a similar situation, but mostly the same. He was not the clear and obvious #1 that Caleb was, but most teams had Bryce at QB1. The Panthers were always going to be terrible Bryce's rookie year.  I don't think DJ Moore's presence would have changed anything about that offense, as our guards, center, and left tackle were getting demolished on nearly every snap. It's clear Caleb's dad was trying to do everything possible to ensure Caleb didn't end up in Chicago with Eberflus. It's hard to imagine that he wouldn't have done the same, but probably more publicly with our situation, considering Carolina is an easier target for the media than Chicago. We can all speculate, but it's impossible to tell who is going to have the better career on May 16, 2025. If either QB doesn't pan out, we have an easy answer. If both flame out, the bears clearly won the trade, but it wouldn't have really mattered anyway. We all know how we win the trade. Candidly, even if one of the other picks we gave up ends up being a hall of fame player, we don't know if the panthers would have taken that player anyway. All you can do is make the best decision you can in the moment with the information you have. I really like Bryce Young, and I'm glad he's a Carolina Panther.  The only way to win in the modern NFL is to have an absolute dude at QB. I personally am happy that our franchise recognizes this, as I remember times when they did not.
