Panthers sign rookie defensive back Troy Pride.

 

Pride was a track star in high school and posted a 4.4 40-yard dash at the Scouting Combine earlier this year. While at Notre Dame, Pride appeared in 37 games and left school with 121 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, four interceptions, two fumble recoveries and a forced fumble.

The Panthers drafted another cornerback in the seventh round and signed Eli Apple as a veteran free agent after Apple’s agreement with the Raiders fell through. The newcomers will join Donte Jackson at corner in Carolina this season.

Pride Junior before Chinn and YGM?   As training camp approaches, I expect more signings, but lets get the higher picks inked that's actually going to play outside of STs.  Signing picks 5-7 should be about as standard as they get.

I wasn't super excited about this pick, but he has some intriguing traits. 

Eh, he and YGM was a swap in my draft wish list.  I wanted a CB in the second round and a DE early day 3.  We addressed the need at both spots, so I was happy overall.

According to sportrac, we still have 2 spots on the roster left.  We have 88 and are allowed 90.  Anyone know if we are looking to sign anyone else?

Considering the NFL isn't having a preseason, filling out those last two camp spots is pointless.  Only in the case of a guy or two that has a legit shot at making the final roster.  Otherwise, why even bother.

With camp now being 80 people we have to cut 8 before we even get to camp.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
