I found a post on Reddit from a Patriots fan that made me so happy

I see CAP as a surprise cut, move Hood to the PS as ''traditional back'' insurance (5'11, 230) and have Barner and his ability behind CMC, and CJ. 

This is exactly how I want us to approach the RB roster positions.

It's a worthy question: How good are we really?

I also suspect we're not as good as the hype, but better than we have been. That gets people excited, probably a little too excited but hey...

I suppose the good thing is it won't be at all that long before we find out how good we really are (or aren't).

This is so true. We've been overly optimistic about our preseason WR depth/ quality before.

2016 comes to mind. Getting KB back. Twin towers (KB & Funch).

Last year too... Expected a lot of Samuel.

So far the WR depth does look like a big upgrade from what we had at the end of last season. I like the diversity of skill sets. 

Actually though, what perhaps is most exciting is our OVERALL receiving talent. When you add in CMC, Olsen, Ian Thomas and CJ Anderson to the list of Cam's targets......!!! Now THAT should be very scary for opposing Defenses.

No, we don't have AB or Julio. But the combination of quantity and quality of receivers could make this a very dangerous offense.

It’s true. Mose Frazier has actually looked good and god forbid we do something like cut Byrd. I can only imagine how well Byrd would do there.

Byrd would put them back into a dangerous offensive team imo his speed with Toms accuracy poo. We can't let him go nitbgir those reason just because he's a addition to our roster if he's out 6th wideout we're in good shape.

Nah, we start with three HB's instead of four like last year to make room. 

Manhertz, or a someone else will be the 3rd TE.

This actually how I see the roster lining up.   CAP IMO has been ok but not brilliant and Barner provides a similar back to CMC if he went down, God forbid.

The last two guys who went to the Pats didn’t do so well

that white rb 

Kony Ealy

Don't forget Brandon LaFell.  While he had a decent year in '14, he was cut loose after his 2nd year (2015 season).  If he couldn't make it with TB throwing him the ball...well, I think that's enough said.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
