Official Carolina Panthers at Tennessee Titans Gameday Thread


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

Welcome to your Carolina Panthers at Tennessee Titans gameday thread. Please use this thread for general observations about the game. 

 

  • Cam Newton will not plays. 
  • First string players typically play a full quarter or about three series. 
  • Keep an eye on Austin Duke and Kaelin Clay later in the game. Both fighting for a roster spot. 
  • Tennessee Mom still wants Cam's :Eggplant_Emoji_Icon_42x42:, and feels guilty about it. 

 

Please do not create reactionary threads. Keep it nice and tidy in here. If you have a legitimate topic to discuss about the game that deserves its own thread by all means do it. 

 

Love,

 

Management.

You're the one stating we should keep an eye out for both.  Correct?  When neither one will make the team.  So, in essence, can you tell us why we should look out for players destined for the Practice Squad (if that)?

Because today's Damiere Byrd was also once a practice squad guy. Same with Russell Shepard who will be starting this year.

 Some of us like to keep up with such things.

Meh, keeping up with Practice Squad players that will never be on a final NFL roster.  That's like keeping up with Walk-Ons on a College Football team.  You know they're on the team, but know they'll never get any PT (unless your CFB team is complete trash).  It's better to look for battles that will impact the immediate roster, than watch for a bunch of players that won't see the field this season (unless a ton of injury attrition happens).

    • All these rankings have more to do with the writers love or hate for a team.  Morgan, IMO, has done a really good job at building this team.  Yeah, there are a couple of whiffs but for the most part he has done quite well drafting and signing free agents.  22 is a bit low but it's a stupid opinion based on how little a writer knows about the Panthers. 
    • When I saw that I was thinking the same thing.  If Evero does have a great season and gets hired as a head coach I wouldn't mind see McD as our DC.  If we do poorly as a team, I definitely would want him to be the front runner for HC.
    • But it's not about not upsetting a player under contract, it's about not causing a rift in the locker room. The players love Bryce, whether as a person or a player doesn't matter.  You can't spend a Top 10 pick on a QB and then still start your #1 overall pick in the last year of their contract. That act alone will cause a massive locker room rift/distraction that would be unavoidable.  Some players will question why you "wasted" a Top 10 pick on a QB you're not going to start instead of someone who can help right away.  While others will question why we are keeping Bryce around for the season when it's clear he's not the future guy at that point. It would just make for a bad start to the rookie's career while causing locker room distractions.  Again, I'd bet this has never happened in this league before with any 1st round QB, let alone the #1 overall pick, and there is a reason for it, which is that it would be epically stupid to do. And I used the Vikings as the example as they're the closest I can think of, because again, there isn't a direct comparison as nobody has ever done it because it's that dumb of an idea (no offense lol).
