His dad on WFNZ said he trained nonstop on his year off and is faster and stronger than he ever has been.  

I noticed during the draft that a lot of the players ended up opting out for at least part of the season to "get ready" for the draft. Does that mean that we might have more pro-ready rookies this season?

I think his competition to make the team is Haynes.  And Haynes in in the last year of he rookie deal.  Would be better cost to keep Miller for another couple years.  

how does opting out affect his contract? Did he get paid last year? Do we get an extra rookie contract year? I can't recall seeing anything about that at all.

He will catch on somewhere. I know his father Corey on a personal level for years and Christian is a hell of a good young man. He had his reasons for opting out and he felt he had to. He didn't want to but he had to. He has been working hard and looks in amazing shape. If he is gibrn a chance he will develop into a reliable piece of the equation and something even more will become a good light in the community as well as a role model to kids in the community just as Cam was when here. Make no mistake if he is cut he will go somewhere else and make a name for himself. He will be a hidden bonus we forgot about who becomes another great piece of the defense of he is kept. He has the mindset to be a great player for this team you just aren't aware of it and all you know is "He opted out" without having even the slightest clue why he felt he had to. He puts someone else above himself and was willing to put his entire dream on the line for others well being. I am no political tool who hangs off every piece of propaganda put in front of me on these absolutely ridiculous news stations and don't believe the virus was as bad as our "pals" at CNN said it was to push their own political agendas but the fact is this virus was a thing and a major risk to a small portion of the population. Christian had to do what he felt he had to do but you have ZERO idea of what he can or cannot do. He is more than you know he is and will catch on somewhere making a difference on Sundays if we cut him like it or not.

I don't doubt he's a great kid.

Being realistic though, between the fact that he was originally picked by an old regime to be part of a scheme that we aren't really running anymore and the opt out (which I agree was justified) he's facing an uphill battle.

Being good on special teams might be his best bet to make the squad.

Would not be shocked to see him as the starting SAM this year. He was/is a really good athlete and when he is on the field, dude produced at all levels. Now it sucks he lost part of 19 and all of 2020, but he has no more of a battle that any of the other 1 year deal guys. 

Also would not be shocked to see us mix in a lot of odd man fronts where he comes in. The 19 team left us with some interesting OLB  mix, as did the acquisition of Reddick.

He is the oddly forgotten guy. Think he would have played a lot last year if he was able to.

28 and I have (what appears to be) permanent loss of my sense of smell. 

Been 4 months since. Low key kind of like it though no bad smells is pretty nice. But, it's wild how this stuff works. 

I have a good buddy who is mid-30's and experiencing a similar scenario as you -- 5+ months in only has minimal ability to taste and smell.

That said, this condition wouldn't affect either of you as it goes to your ability to make a tackle 😉

What was the total # of opt-outs across the NFL?

Will be interesting to see how many of those players make an opening-day roster this year...

I’m genuinely curious how it took a year and a half into the pandemic and a couple responses in this thread about the long term damage it causes some young people to realize that you had a shitty take? Aren’t you a nurse? 

Im a psychiatric nurse. A lot of my initial knee jerk response is because I continued to work throughout the pandemic, and butthurt some people got to stay home. speaking of work, i was taking a crap at work when I posted it. At the time, i knew it was inflammatory and wrong. After being told about circumstances or protecting your family and others at risk, which is something i didnt think about with my initial post, i owned up to my stupid comment. 

 

my initial knee jerk feelings were basically "if i have to show up to a challenging job everyday, so can you, and you are a fringe player that needs every rep he can get to prove himself. i would die for that opportunity".      and that led to my stupid knee jerk comment.

oh uphill battle I would have to agree. I hope he does flash. Maybe I'm biased but I think he could contribute and be some sort of a help to this team in the future. I'm not saying hall of famer here but I feel like he could potentially be some form of a okay maker. He is a good guy so I hope luck combined with work put in yields him some good results in camp this year.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks are Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team) seem to be locks. Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?

      I had this discussion with my buddy yesterday afternoon. If we start this season very slow(especially with the schedule being what it is) and then "rally" in the second half to get to 4-7 wins, I am already gonna be pretty heated at the staff overall. I know we are a very bad roster but I am not gonna keep excusing these slow season starts WITH late season rallies. That's a coaching staff problem, IMO. It's more excusable to just stink gate to gate, IMO. At least you can understand why.
