Remember when everyone was angry that the Panthers cut WR Jarrett Boykin last year....

Huddle gonna huddle. 

 

Do you think he would even be in consideration for the squad this year? Seems like just looking back at that situation really brings how much the unit has improved into focus. Boykin was basically a less talented Norwood, who probably won't even make the team this season.

Well I would have rather had Boykin last year and the 7th round pick we gave up for Norwood than Norwood since he contributed absolutely nothing so there's that. 

Nope. He contributed to a red zone interception so there's that.

I don't put that one on Norwood. Cam's arm was hit during the throw which caused it to sail high and right. He barely got his fingertips on the ball.

ehh, i forgive it. losing benjamin in camp was a major blow and throwing some poo at the wall was due dilligence for gettleman. norwood was no world beater but facing a season without your top receiver it's not much of a gamble to throw your 7th-rounder at a shot to repair a little bit of the damage.

Nah he still got his hands on the ball it just went right through his hands. Watch the replay.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      We have without question one of the worst QB rooms in the league and your key concern is people having the audacity to be talking about it lol.

      I saw this list crossing the screen waiting for any Panther.  Chubba, JC Horn and Hunt.  It was a crime to see so many that were not as good as these three.  ESPN is garbage anyhow.

      Bingo!  We are on the same page.  Our scouting department was average under Hurney, but at least we hit hit it out of the park with our first rounders.  Our scouting department under Tepper's reign with his revolving doors of HCs and GMs has sucked because the scouts largely stay in place.  One or two may change every few years, but the core philosophy stays in place and I believe that to be heavily RAS influenced.    Looking the part of a football player (physical/athletic measurables) vastly outweighs putting on the tape and deep diving into his stats with our scouting department. Until we change that mindset, this team is doomed. Again, how many of us Huddlers (none of us are professional scouts) wanted McConkey over Legette? Yet, we went with XL.  Why?  RAS score, pure and simple.  If you put on the tape and look at the numbers without taking RAS into account, McConkey was the clear choice.
