Per Matt Miller, the Carolina Panthers are the most improved team exiting the draft...

How many bad snaps where there all last year? It’s good to have a solid LS but let’s be honest, all 31 other starting LSs aren’t having bad snaps every game.

I'll let you do that leg work, but the Panthers have been fortunate with JJ and drafted the best LS coming out of college.

Oh, and it only takes 1 bad snap from an LS to completely change the complexion of a game.

Dude, do you know how important a competent LS is?  Long snapping is an art form and it isn't easy, try snapping a ball 13-15 yards on the mark with velocity knowing you are about to also have to block.

A good LS is worth his weight as a STARTER.

It's MUCH easier than it used to be with all the rule changes.

Agree completely

It's a job nobody notices until a botched snap ends a field goal attempt.   Then everybody realizes the LS is worth his weight in gold.

I disagree completely. Not anything to do with how I feel about Brown, but a 6th rounder isn’t likely to make the team let alone be a day 1 starter. I know people like to say you can get steals later in the draft but expecting that he’s one of the one or two starters that come from round 6 is a stretch. I’d love to see Moore win a job but I only think Christensen has an inside shot at starting because he should only have to beat out Scott and the staff wants him to win a spot. The staff also wants their $14M guaranteed guys to start, likely as Gs.

I genuinely don't think that's how it'll work under Rhule.

As a former high school long snapper, I applaud you for your vast understanding of the nuances of the game sir. And you can bet your happy @$$ that I told girls I was a starter 😉

Guy I used to work with would tell girls he met in a bar that he was the Panthers backup punter.

Speaking of velocity, this is a fun clip!

      Several of those guys you listed are upgrades over Bryce and several more are potential upgrades.  There will be other starting(or former) QB's coming available too(Geno Smith, Kyler Murray, Kirk Cousins, etc). Or there are backups that can clearly be upgrades(Mac Jones, Jacoby Brissett, Davis Mills, etc). Now, how realistic any of these options are is questionable. For any of the acquisition options, price would be a big factor. For any of the older veterans their motivation for even wanting to come to a team like this is pretty questionable. That extends to several other FA candidates, as well. Are we operating in a therotical world where Bryce is still here and presumed to be the starter? That is going to eliminate some options. Are we operating in a theoretical world where it is a "competition" and Bryce is still here? Or is Bryce gone completely? Those are all factors that make various of these scenarios both more and less "realistic." But, if the question is can we upgrade over Bryce? There is no question we can do so through free agency or potentially the draft.

      The whole “pick up the fifth year but also bring in competition” is the weirdest take. you only pick up the fifth if he’s the guy. You don’t bring in someone to “push” him if you think he’s it. throwing a seventh or whatever at a project isn’t relevant either way.
