The 2018 Season is Almost here.....do we?


Recommended Posts

Russell Shepard should've been cut that first day of moves when we released Stew and Coleman. I have no idea why he's still on the roster. He's owed a $375k roster bonus. I doubt that will have much of an impact on whether or not we cut him. We could pay that out and still save $1.7M by releasing him.

Shep will get cut with post June 1st designation as soon as we add another WR in FA or by trade like Crabtree OR when we draft one in the first 4-5 rounds. But not until that guy is on the roster. Say what you will but having Shep as a #5 is better than many other options, if it came to that. I think we will upgrade still in FA and/or draft but in the off chance it doesn't work out and fall that way then we have Shep as insurance and on ST.

Honest to god, I'd rather have Bersin out there than Shepard.

Shepard played in nearly a third of our offensive snaps and converted that playing time into 17 catches for 202 yards and 1 TD. That's terribad.

    • The panthers are such a trash organization at this point that all the huddle can do is argue about which panthers team is historically the worst…good times. 
    • Well, hope they're not worried about a torn Labrum or Rotator Cuff, as someone who went through that myself, I know those don't have anything show up on X-Rays but from the MRI, so this is kinda a nothing update, hope it's not a tear or his season is already over if they decide to do surgery now. Which is basically what would be needed to get him to 100% for the start of next season's training camp if it's a labrum.  If he plays the season with it and then does surgery, he's not going to be ready for camp and probably not the start of the season either.
    • I always try to not pay much attention to a team’s preseason win/loss record. The 1982 Washington and 2021 LA Rams both lost every game in the preseason and went on to win the Super Bowl, whereas the 2008 Detroit Lions and 2017 Cleveland Browns both won every game in reason and went on to lose every regular season game. There’s many examples of teams that lose in preseason that go on to have good seasons, but equally there are teams that lose in preseason and that continues in the regular season. Which will we be?  I think our floor is a handful of wins, while our ceiling will probably be around the 9-10 win mark. The latter will require significant improvement from the whole team and coaching staff, and will also need Bryce to play like the QB we drafted him to be. I want to be optimistic and predict a winning season, but it’s really difficult as a Panthers fan!
