Prepare to see that roster churning

not likely to affect starting positions much, maybe on ST. Imma ok wiff it

 

You are not trying to find starters. You are looking to improve your depth. Something that the majority of teams need. Solid, quality depth.

Cargo shorts might have been one of the best inventions ever developed for men, right there with voice activated remote control and sexy optional and convenient adult diapers, and due to some women complaining that we look "stupid", now you all think these things are dumb.  Well on game day, I do not care what I look like, and I can spend 20 hours in my recliner without ever leaving it, since I have a portable fridge beside me and the Papa Johns guy has permission to enter without knocking.

What will be happening, though, is that they are just going to be looking at more and more and more prospects trying to bring in the best possible ones to training camp. And in the weeks of training camp as cuts are made by other teams we might see more. 

It may seem like ineptitude to the less shrewd and it might seem like madness to the clueless, but it's a sign that they are going to turn over any rock they can to create the best possible roster from top to bottom.

I'm not sure if there are still Covid protocols in place that limit try outs. That could also be a reason why they have to churn a bit more than might seem normal just to give guys they're considering a look.

And also to build up your Rolodex of emergency contacts of guys you might add if God forbid you have an injury crisis at a certain position and burn through your depth. (Was it 2013 or 2014 where for like 5 weeks  we were bringing in RBs off the street on a Monday who would start the following Sunday. That was a wild time!)

Pretty sure that NFL clubs can operate at full go, as long as everyone is vaccinated. 

 

Not to sure about how tryouts would fit into that.

I hadn't thought about that angle. But yeah, that is an important aspect for this. Nice catch.

 

And Nick Goings took advantage of the opportunity to etch his name in Panther lore. For a brief moment anyway. But that was a different time.

I have given some thought to mans best inventions- with not picking canned beer, slice bread, wallet, and whiskey. Its a little gray area too with my idea and many dont use/have one currently. My current best guess is a decent air compressor. Now the the gray area is you need tools to attach to the unit, so..... But my god at what its capable of,  near endless options and it transforms you into a stronger, smarter, and faster man. Save gas with having correct air pressure in tires, blow off leaves, cut/grid steel, loosen/tighten bolts, drive nails, etc etc.

 

Honestly mans best inventions is the ability to control fire....... off in the far distance is a shower...so my air compressor may not even be in the top five......cause those some many others contenders battery, car, A/C, million medical things, plane, Dupont, bra, computer chip, A bomb, toilet that you can sit on.....  Interwebz went form being one of the best to worst currently, having the same issues as the gun....

The Panthers said they wanted to get as many good players as possible at all positions and then eventually, the team figures out how to win together.
 
Despite the present changes, the number of actual starters that are new on the depth chart may be low, so there has to be constant churning to be assured you have those good players as starters and backup positions .

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
