Tough year for the ones coming from the bottom. 

Impossible. The teams are probably already at 60 in their minds. We are likely one of the best spots for wildcards because we have so many holes. Problem for the UDFAs is that anyone drafted will get the benefit of the doubt because the GM/coaches have all the research they did in their minds. The draftees and the top UDFAs will get a pass so to speak over the guys padding the roster. Pretty much always been that way, but definitely much much harder to crack an active roster this year.

With no preseason there is no reason to keep 90 players. The only reason so many are kept is for preseason fodder in game 4. It is extremely easy to cut 15 players before one training camp practice.

Before Camp, or during? How will they know ability before they see them play? Just asking.

Since the corna virus thread is in tinderbox, and this is kind a football question/post I will post this here.  One position that could be effected like no other in the NFL by the corna virus is long snapper.  I don't know if I have ever hear of a team carrying 2 long snappers on a roster and usually the back up long snapper is a guy who did it in High School and maybe 5 or 6 times in college and practices it maybe 5 times a week.  If a kicker test positive on Saturday before the game you can have the punter do the kick duties and the other way around if needed.  If the long snapper test positive on Friday night or Saturday, unless you got a guy on the practice squad, you might be fugged.  I work with a guy who's son was the long snapper at NC State for 3 years.  He never got drafted and only had like 2 try outs after the draft and never got into camp.  His dad says he still practices everyday just waiting for a call.  He might better keep his phone close this season.

Anyone else having issues with the Panthers website. I wanted to check to see if they had trimmed the roster yet, but nothing comes up over at panthers.com

 

Nope, it popped up just fine for me.  Still at 88 players.

    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight 
    • There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
