These are guys who's success may rely in a big way on w/ an upgraded/new role:

 

KONY EALY

  • He showed what's up in the SB and I'm hopeful he's made a great turn.  I'm the most excited for Kony out of any other Panthers player.

 

KURT COLEMAN

  • He could be providing a significant SS dominant, FS filler role with a Godfrey/Marlowe rotation.  Showed up big last year, has shown great sh*t but inconsistency prior to NC, so needs to show again...and as a leader.

 

DARYL WORLEY

  • He may not be our first DB pick, may not seem like much yet, but watch out for him.  Factoring speed and readiness, Dan is the 1ST guy in line. 

 

DEVIN FUNCHESS

  • Jeremy did the work for this one

 

DARYL WILLIAMS

  • Bottom line: I understand Remmers looked quite good on-and-off last year but then the playoffs happened.  There's a clear chance for a classic OL starter-split/stretch. swaparroo and Daryl is NFL ready.  No doubt. 

 

 

 

That's my crew to watch out for. Onions over funions.

Id say keep an eye on kelvin benjiman.  He has the ability to be one of the top pass catching threats in the league.  He only has one year of nfl experience and though he had his ups and downs he really started to come on strong late season and in the playoffs.  He was also showing improvement during camp before going down with the acl tear.  But a small chunk of his rookie stats were with Anderson at QB, he had some issues with drops, and hes coming back from a full year off of football.  Ill say how quickly he can reestablish his role as go to reciever in this new look group will be as important as any thing else to watch for.

Nice post Davos.

Like most, I've been down on Remmers since the SB. One thing I will suggest though is I believe Remmers will improve. 

He's a pro and I'm sure he's thought about the man handling he took during the SB. I would imagine he's got as much motivation to get better as you can get . 

Does he have the pure athleticism and skill set to keep his job from the hungry freight train headed his way ? Not sure, either way we get better with the competition. I'd like to think Remmers is going to make it a very difficult job to take his spot. 

May the best man win.

Everybody is assuming KB is a given.  He had a good rookie year, and then got hurt, and had to take over a year away from football.  

Less then 10 months is not over a year.

He missed an entire football season and doesn't have his conditioning right.  August 19, 2015 [injury] to September 8, 2016 [Broncos game] > 1 year.

Gotcha.....but I don't see the fact he was injured prior to the season as a negative compared to during the season.

I was a tad shwammered at the time of the post but I was trying to highlight the guys who have either shown a big spark or will have the opportunity to get significant time.  In other words--guys with an upward trajectory but still need to prove themselves in a way or two.  

With Godfrey, I'm just not sold on him but he's a completely serviceable FS.  In my opinion, FS is the more natural spot for both him and Coleman and eventually want a long term SS where Kurt can slide back to center field.  That may be another year (or two) but Kurt needs to carry over his play from last season regardless.  He's shown his skills in KC and Philly and I'd love to see him finally come into his own here becoming consistent and a long-term fit.

It would not shock me to see Funchess be more productive than KB. 

People forget they weren't drafted all that far apart. Gettleman had first round grades on both.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By SCMunnerlyn1 · Posted

      Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
