Are you comfortable with the roster?

Forgive the very basic, 10-minute excel chart, but i think its about as clear as i could make it. Just curious for the thoughts and discussion. Not considering the draft, would you be comfortable taking this roster into 2017? In other words, if the Panthers decided to sit out the draft and not take ANY rookies, would this roster be enough to get us to the playoffs?

Personally, I think so. And that is very exciting. I dont think we would sniff 15-1 with this roster, but 12 games is not out of the question, IMHO.

and the most exciting part is that we have 4 picks in the top 98 to add starting-level talent to this roster to compete for spots. 

I am officially excited for the 2017 season, my friends. What say you?

Not comfortable with WR or Oline  depth.

I'm very comfortable with it going into the draft. I would not be comfortable with it going into the season.

i understand those sentiments. Personally, i think our receiving corps will be much improved this year and that Oher will come back and ball out. if he was really still dealing with his concussion, they would have worked out an injury settlement with him already and moved on. i bet Dave is just being sneaky with Oher's status so as to not key in other teams to our draft plans. That said, i would be comfortable taking this roster into the season. my thoughts are that it can only get better from here. :)

If KB takes the next step and Funboy takes the 3rd year leap, we would be sitting with 2 and whole lot of possibles. We could possibly be worse at WR. We have no way of knowing what the potential is at this point. Johnson and Shepard me look like just special teams players. Let's be realistic. Do you see either gaining much more than 300+ yards in the season? I don't...

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
