NFL = "Not for Long" Players remaining from 2015 SB roster...

[KB_fan]

It's no mere play on words that many joke that NFL = not for long.

With the cut of Tre Boston today, it got me wondering, just what % of players remains on the team from those players who were on the Panthers active roster when the team went to the Super Bowl during the 2015-16 season.

I'll post the table below.

But first I want y'all to be honest.  Would ANY ONE correctly have predicted who the lone remaining CB from our Super Bowl team would be two seasons later?!?!  Teddy "Special Teams Penalty Ace" Williams?!?!  Honestly?  I was a bit stunned to put it mildly.  As the joke goes, he and Bersin must have some kind of amazing photo collection....! smile.  I confess I wouldn't mind seeing our last holdout from the 2015 CBs cut from the team this offseason...

CB along with FB have had the most turnover....

We've lost 40% of the SB team already (quite balanced losses on offense & defense).  Another 5 cuts of players from our 2015 active squad and we will drop below 50%.

 

Corrected the table to fix the LB section...

quick note:  the table shows all players who were on the 53 man roster and active for at least one game at some point in the season, whether they started, or just played a few snaps.  There were 62 players who were active during the season.  A 63rd, emergency longsnapper Danny Aiken was on the roster for 1 week when JJ Jansen was ill prior to our Thanksgiving game against Dallas.  He's not counted in the table above since he was never active on game day.

Can you all read the table?  If I have to break it up into two parts so that it's larger, let me know and I can do that.

Better question would be how the hell we made the super bowl with most of those names in red

[KB_fan]

Dang, did this too quickly.   I see I have an error, showing that 100% of our LBs remain.  Not true of course.  AJ Klein is gone.

I'll fix and repost.

I should have known I was too tired after a long day to try and create accurate tables!

 

UPDATE:  the table in the OP is now correct

[MBronson]

Lol here she goes with the percentages again.... but seriously, I Love what you do, so keep up the good work.

 

That being said I'm feeling very confident about our roster heading into the 2017 season. Our front office addressed almost every issue we had at the end of last season.

Idk its very confusing to me. I thought youd have to be stacked at every position in accordance to their madden ratings. 

That's what most people on here seem to expect from Gettleman

I know?!?!  My jaw hit the floor.  It's one thing to know in your head that you've turned over almost all your CBs.  But then to see that....!!!  LOL.  Just incredible.

I think this is the right approach. Last year there was not enough competition, especially on offense. We had the same cast except for Cotchery gone and the addition of KB. Have to continue to churn your roster with rookies or FA to motivate your core players. Seeing Tre Boston cut and Ealy traded let's the guys that are waiting for their 2nd contract know what's up.

DG is sending a message to al the underachieving players.

I'll be pissed if Ealy starts shredding it up in NE. I agree with the trade but I hate how players that underachieve elsewhere suddenly turn into at least decent starters when the go to NE.

Heck, but we love it when it happens here.  (Oher, Harper, Coleman, Ginn...)  We've done well with some cast offs from other teams in recent years.  [Hoping the trend continues with Matt Kalil!]

It goes both ways. Guys like Ginn and Mitchell did nothing elsewhere and we're solid here. If Ealy plays well it could be he needed to be traded in order to get motivated to finally play good ball outside of the Superbowl.
