No question. This season is over. Anyone hurt shouldn’t be risked for a mop up game.

Personally Id shut down anyone of significant value and get less experience players reps. Even some of the star rookies. No need to play Brown, Chinn, Shaq, DJax, Burns, or even Obada.  No need to play DJ. Samuel you might want to let play just so he can boost his stock in the FA market...I wish we could retain Samuel though.

I want Chinn to keep playing to strengthen that DROY resume.  I have a feeling they’ll still give it to Young, even if Chinn has amazing games the next 2 weeks though.

It’s easy to tell the player and convince the coach if the player is injured but I don’t think they’ll just start shutting everyone down. In week 17, maybe you pull starters in the first half almost like a preseason game. CMC and Burns shouldn’t even dress. Risking any chance at not being ready for next or having future issues should be an instant shutdown considering we are officially out. You have to think that they also know about the draft position. Coaches and active players don’t play to lose but the GM/FO should be thinking about draft slot and protecting players when we are done.

I dont think they will either, but I certainly wouldnt mind it.

He was absolutely amazing yesterday.

Rhule & Snow were telling him before the last sack: "Go back in there and take him down" (Was trying to read their lips)

Burns goes in, and straight up gets the sack and give the chance for a comeback drive. 

This offense needs to come together this coming offseason.  Some new linemen, a TE and most importantly, a new dude throwing the ball.

      Some of the best F.A signings in Panthers history?

      By rodeo · Posted

      Our best ever FA signing was Wesley Walls, followed by Sam Mills, and Ken Lucas. I can't really even think of any other super impactful ones. I thought Keyshawn Johnson would be at the time, and he was alright, but nothing special. I think Lloyd could end up being in that upper tier with the first three I named but time will tell. He could be a long time leader on this defense. He's young and smart and is in the mold of the great Panthers LBs. I can't wait for the inevitable sit-down with Thomas Davis.

      Great News! Now, if we can find a QB, we will be in the race.

      Tony Pauline: 5 NFL Teams Whose Free Agency Moves Changed Their 2026 Draft Plans

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      On the whole, I thought the Panthers did the best job of any team during the first week of free agency and left with a much stronger roster. The team had two major needs on defense that people thought would be addressed early in the draft: pass rusher and off-ball linebacker. They promptly filled both by signing Jaelan Phillips to a massive four-year, $120 million contract and linebacker Devin Lloyd to a three-year, $45 million contract. Not only did the Panthers fill needs by signing the two players, but the vacancies left by Phillips in Philadelphia and Lloyd in Jacksonville are massive holes that those teams must address.  Carolina was not done, as they added offensive tackle Rasheed Walker, the four-year veteran who was previously with the Green Bay Packers, to a one-year deal. Considering the serious knee injury suffered by starting left tackle Ikem Ekwonu during the playoff loss to the Los Angeles Rams, an injury that could threaten his 2026 season, it was money well spent on another free agent. Heading towards the draft, the Panthers now have the luxury of looking at other positions. If tight end Kenyon Sadiq happens to fall to the 19 selection of the first round, he has to be a consideration, and they could also target a top cornerback. https://www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-active-news-five-nfl-teams-whose-free-agency-moves-changed-their-twenty-twenty-six-draft-plans/
