Huge drop in waiver wire claims

This has been the result of no preseason games.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported that, over the past 10 years, the average number of post-cutdown waiver claims league-wide was 41. The lack of preseason games and limited offseason workouts are the primary reasons for why Sunday's 17 claims are a far cry from that figure.

Going from an average of 41 waiver claims a season to 17 is a drastic drop. Hardly any teams were interested in taking a chance on someone else's player without any tape to watch. The Panthers, however, made 3 claims. Thanks to our new Philadelphia front office guy who knew the players well enough.

I expect we’ll see the big flurry of action come about week 3-4

Week 2 and then Week 3 imo.

As I understand it, Week 3 is the first time the order will reset based on 2020 record.  So if you are high on the list now, but win your first game or two you will be dropping on the order list.  If you are low on the list but lose your initial games, you will be a bit higher.

Jax has Colts, Titans, Fins as first 3 games while being like 9th atm.  I can see them jumping on the waiver wire after week 3 when I expect they will both jump higher in the priority combined with more tape.

Bengals (Chargers/Browns), Lions (Bears/Packers), Cards (Washington/Lions).  I could see these teams more willing to push early for someone with less tape in the Week 2 range because of the chance of an early win or two losing their 1, 3, 5 spots respectively after Week 3.

      Do they practice down field throws at practice?

      I still think a Dalton thumb injury screwed us 2 seasons in a row.  It allowed the Bryce Young comeback after whoever finally gave a greenlight on being done w/ him 2 weeks into the season.  and I think we saw a soft benching this year and they wanted to see Andy run it with this crew.  But Andy hurting his thumb killed us from seeing whatever he has at full go in a game.  Bryce Young was never hurt those 2 games to the degree which called him to miss a game IMO.  You don't see QBs sit for such minor things....unless you just want to use it to explore and see.

      Dave Canales Panthers are 3-6 following a win

      I was quite critical of Ron Rivera's game day coaching decisions and management over his years here. Especially when he coached super conservative playing not to lose. But at the end of the day he never had to try and win with a Bryce Young. John Fox had to try and win with a Bryce Young and he completely checked out and got himself fired. The only. Only solution right now. Is to remove the anchor around our necks from the equation and move forward however we can and assess all the moving parts with the time we have left so we can move forward accordingly in the offseason. Not doing so is only going to further delay evaluating what we have in this young roster and this staff led by Canales.

      XL is a bust

      Sometimes GMs try outsmart everyone by picking a player they think has the physical tools and can be coached up but Legette is an example what happens when that doesn't work out. Teams that are already contenders with a full roster can take those chances. The Eagles, for example, could have rolled the dice on a guy like Legette. But the Panthers needed, and still need, to draft guys who are ready to play now in the first round. Legette wasn't that guy and there were much better options available.
