Who are our top 5 players right now?


Recommended Posts

I don’t see great players after that but there are some good ones like Samuel and  Moten.  I am not fooling myself thinking we are a contender but in the retool quite a few guys can step up and shine at a higher level than they have in the past.  
 

want to look at the positive in this instead of just focusing on not having superstars.

How the heck is Short on any of these lists? He missed all last year and was part of that D that was also awful the second half of 2018. The 2019 D didn’t come out of nowhere. 2018 D was losing a lot of games while Cam was struggling to throw it deep but the O was at least keeping us in games. If he’s our 3rd best player with 3 sacks in two years then that’s an issue. I’d release him in a heartbeat. He’s a waste of $13M in salary (new hit to cap).

Right now, DJ and CMC are untouchables and I laugh about trading them or not paying them (still on rookie deals with 5th year). They are our weapons right now. Only weapons.

Here’s my top 5 and this includes potential/who I don’t want to lose:

1. CMC

2. Moore

Bit of a chasm

3. Moton

4. Burns

5. Shaq

I would hope that pick 7 moves up this list very quickly. Heck, I hope pick 38 moves up this list very quickly. My dream is that pick #1 overall next year becomes our top player.

    • The bad thing is that Xavier Legette kind of ignored the Jugs machine his rookie season. The good thing is that he's committed to it now. Catching is important to an NFL receiver (sarcasm), but, perhaps just as important is a receiver's---any player's---mindset.  "This offseason, the young wideout has gotten back to something in terms of preparation (Jugs machine). 'Oh man, it’s always been something I’ve done, and I don’t know why, but I felt like I could take a little breath,' explained Legette (via Darin Gantt of Panthers.com). 'And when you’re playing in this game, you can never do that. It’s always a way to get better, and that’s one of the ways to help with catching. For sure, for sure. In my mind, I’m thinking about ways, things I can do. What can I do to have less drops this coming season in Year 2? 'The whole mindset has changed, man,' added Legette. 'Trying to do anything I got to. I’m sacrificing a lot of things that I used to do outside of the building to put my work inside the building.'" https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/xavier-legette-focused-on-reducing-drops-that-plagued-rookie-year-with-panthers-01k1692c0tz9 So, yeah, it wasn't good coming in taking some things for granted, but Legette is young. His mentality appears to have changed and he appears to be maturing and he's been putting in a lot of work by all accounts.  I know some of you are down on him, but I still have faith. Last season was a disjointed mess in its entirety, but there were still some flashes, particularly with route running. With Legette's seemingly better fit as the WR2, mindset and focus---doing his actual job catching the ball---he should be able to improve. Lastly, I'd like to add, props to Legette for being so open about the need to improve and change his mindset. Some guys wouldn't necessarily admit that publicly. If nothing else, he's honest and down-to-earth.
    • It is worth noting the fanbase has long held a love hate relationship with PFF over the years. Now that we are employing some of their people and actively using their data in our roster building approach going forward this should serve as the end all be all to any debate. This is either going to end really well or really bad. It's the Panthers. So save your energy and give it some time.
    • And to be honest, we weren't really talking about PFF grades either. I brought it into the conversation via a pic that's LLM-related (which apparently some Huddlers took issue with) as an aside for providing more specificity than just sheer numbers
