I would eliminate all the rookies just because we haven't seen them play a snap yet.

CMC, Moore, Shaq, Short, Moton, Burns, Anderson, Bridgewater

I gotta be honest, can't think of any non-rookie I would put above the rest of the roster after those guys right now. 

This is actually a depressing thing to do if you don't include the rookies yet.

1 CMC, 2 Moore.

Everyone else has a lot to prove.

I'd add Moton to your list, but that's about it. I even scrolled through the official roster, and 3/4 of the players weren't wearing panthers jerseys in their pics. what a depressing way to start the day.

Samuel still gets a certain amount of disrespect after all this time, I see...

No way I'm putting a rookie who ain't done squat above any vet! And Burns has a lot to prove also.

Samuel is a very unpolished WR.  Which shouldn't be a surprise given he was basically a RB in college and is still learning how to be a WR.

But he easily is top 10 in terms of being a football player on our roster.  He arguably is the 2nd best playmaker with the ball in his hands.  3rd at worst.

Moton is, for me, in the promosing but not good catergory still. He needs to improve his game this year or I'm thinking he should follow Bradbury in making his overpriced next contract elsewhere.

Yeah it's depressing but here we are. We need the coaches to step up and help the young guys take the next step and develop into better players. Lots of promise but those were the guys not getting playing time and being put into positions to succeed with the last regime. Hopefully this one is vastly different.

My problem is that people just don't seem to realize how bad our QB play really was and how it affected the receivers, and Samuel in particular. Equally bad, for this argument's sake, was the disjointed and imbalanced play calling. There was no continuity except for CMC, and even less creativity. Our offense was uninspired on steroids!

I have a feeling Brady will turn him into a superstar

Yeah, honestly that made it really set in. Once you get past our best 3-4 players it's tough to argue that we have anyone who would start for most other NFL teams. Ouch.

And yet we are going to spend $90M on 3 mediocre players in 2020 and 2021 and we also lost a 3rd and 4th round comp due to two of those players. Anyone here going to argue that Short, Bridgewater and Anderson are top players in the league and core to our rebuild? What a waste of a golden opportunity to get a franchise QB, load up on offense/OL in the 2021 draft and have a ton of cap space to splurge when our young D and young O have a couple years of seasoning. Oh and by 2022, when we are ready to ascend and spend all the extra FA money we have, Brady and Brees will be retired and Ryan will be 37 and still suck. What a wasted opportunity to try and compete now.

Where are you getting 90m from? I counted 65m.  I dont think we can include KK short as a waste, that was a getts move, and at that time KK was the best in the game. No one could of predicted his injury fall off.

 

Also, TB has a built in out for us in his contract after this year and he is only 5million in dead cap the following year. We really are in excellent condition when it comes to cap space for years to come. Anderson is only on the books for two years. That means no dead cap space if he is released next year. These are all short term solutions that zero implications on our cap in the future. Our new cap guy knows wtf he is doing.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
