Top 5 most likely Panthers players to have a breakout season


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

man i really hope you're right about tre boston. he was my biggest concern coming into the season with that depleted secondary.


Tre Boston was really my biggest concern on this list as well. I think he doesn't need to get too antsy back there and let the plays come to him. I'm also interested to see how well he tackles in the open field this year as well.

It seemed like almost every time Boston came in the game last year, he ended up making a play, so I'm not that concerned about him. He can cover a lot of ground out there and he's a team player.

I'm glad you put Mayo on the list Jeremy. Even last year, I noticed him making plays on ST's coverage units. He can definitely run and make a big hit. I'll be looking forward to seeing him play some more MLB in the remaining pre season games.

 

I'm disappointed that Williams isn't on the list, but I guess you can't have it all.

he has been routinely abused in pass coverage whenever he's asked to start. he has his moments (see: atlanta, christmas 2014) but then russell wilson ate him alive in the playoffs two games later. i don't know if he's overagressive or what but he often seems to get lost in space.and allow his man to get over the top.

i really hope he comes out and kicks everyone's ass.

Very nice list of players.  As others have commented, it's great to see Tre Boston on the list.  He's the only "surprise" to me in the sense that there hasn't been all that much focus on him in training camp.  But I do sense he's ready to have a very solid season.

It's a bit worrying that there's no DE on the list.  I know many of us were hoping that Delaire, Cox or Miley would shine and prove to be a breakout player who could eventually step in for CJ in case we don't renew CJ following this season.  Such a shame about Cox's back problems.  Hopefully Delaire will learn from his bad outing against Baltimore...

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
