Winners:

Cam- Only 1 drive and 2 throws, but the offense just has a different energy with him out there.

CAP- Made his case for RB3

Mayo- looks to be very capable backup to Luke and maybe better than Klein. In the words of our dear departed Gman, "he'll tag your fanny."

Moton- Could be the best RT we've had since the brief time period we had a healthy and motivated Otah.

Pep- Still looks like he could be a double digit sack guy

Luke- if he's healthy, could be in conversation for DPOY again

Sanchez- looked like for first time he could be a depth piece at CB. Had several really good plays including the phenomenal interception 

KB- looks like the guy we heard about in the 2015 preseason before his ACL injury.

Funchess- debated putting him on here, but he made 2 great catches that highlight the matchup problem he can be if he plays to his potential.

Bryan Cox, Jr.- has looked as good as Hall in terms of rookie DE's. While he doesnt have the measueables of Hall, hes got a motor that doesnt stop. Hope we can stash him on PS.

Armah- another guy with a lot of potential though raw. Has impressive speed for FB. Could be intriguing as a potential to take the roster spot that usually would be for TE3 since no one has stepped up.

 

Losers:

DA- it's going to get beat ad nausuem over the next week, but tonight was the first time I think the collective fan base has questioned his place on the roster, not just the backup QB. He was simply horrendous, both in decision making and throwing. By far the most concerning part of tonight, and really the whole preseason has been a continuation of his bad game against TB last year.

Cole Luke- kid just looks lost at there for the most part. Maybe a year on the PS could make a difference after the good reports from camp.

Byrd- Still think his roster spot is secure and some of it is due to not getting looks and/or bad throws, but he has been MIA the last 2 games.

Safeties- No one stood out as bad, but no one really stepped up as good either which is a net loss in my book based on how thin we are there. Think Southward's got a good chance to make team, but really hope we can find someone who can contribute once cuts are made. Adams didn't look bad tonight, but Coleman is our only safety I have any real confidence in. I hope our Front Seven can perform like we did in 2013 bc our secondary and especially safety is not looking like a strength.

Worley- he played pretty well at the end of last year, but he still has looked like a guy who is going to get picked this year bases on the preseason. I have confidence in Wilks working with him, but he has been beat repeatedly so far this preseason.

      Jamaree Salyer would be an excellent signing. I hope we are looking at him.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By djp14 · Posted

      The Panthers are Pickett's 5th team in 5 years. Howell's next team will be his 5th. I don't think the league thinks that much of either of them. They're just warm bodies, at this point.

      10 players I wouldn't mind the Panthers signing that are still available:  - CB Nate Hobbs (Packers): Was just released this morning. Could be a very solid nickel upgrade for us.  - CB Kader Kohou (Dolphins): Solid slot corner who shouldn't break the bank and could be an upgrade over Chau Smith-Wade.  - OT Jamaree Salyer (Chargers): Had an underrated year with the Chargers (68.2 PFF pass block grade, 61.5 run block grade) and is still young enough (25) to continue developing.  - OT Jawaan Taylor (Chiefs): Depending on price, could be a good short-term option at LT while we figure things out long-term.  - WR Jauan Jennings (49ers): If we're going to add a FA receiver, I think Jennings makes a lot of sense but the price may be a bit too high for a slot receiver.  - WR John Metchie III (Jets): A cheaper option at slot receiver who has experience playing with Bryce at Alabama. Low risk/high reward type signing.  - WR Calvin Austin III (Steelers): Likely an "in between" option relative to Jennings and Metchie, but another solid option in the slot.  - LB Leo Chenal (Chiefs): I think we'll target another starting ILB in the draft, but we could also opt to pair Chenal with Devin Lloyd and check that need off the list early.  - OC Matt Hennessy (49ers): Could be a decent stop-gap starter at center and solid depth if nothing else.  - OC Andre James (Chargers): Was a backup last year for the Chargers (for some reason; he couldn't have been worse than what they had starting) but was solid for the Raiders the year before.
