2 Hidden Gems On the Roster


Recommended Posts

 

Full article: Panthers: 2 great hidden gems on the Carolina roster (clutchpoints.com)

1. Dan Arnold

His arrival to the Panthers will definitely benefit their new QB1 in Sam Darnold who is also aiming to have a comeback season of his own. Ultimately, offensive coordinator Joe Brady is hoping that Dan Arnold can successfully fill in the huge hole in the tight end position and become an added threat for the team’s offense next season.

2. Yetur Gross-Matos

Unfortunately, Gross-Matos wasn’t able to fully contribute as a rookie due to an ankle injury that he suffered in Week 5 of last season. He only appeared in 12 games for the Panthers and recorded 24 total tackles, 2.5 sacks, and a forced fumble. Despite missing out on several games, everyone knew that Gross-Matos has a promising potential that he can reach as his career progresses.

 

I am really posting this because I feel like YGM gets forgotten, but yet he has some serious potential in being part of (what I think) can be the best DE combination that this league has to offer.  Burns and YGM?! Can/will be an absolute nightmare for opponents, and for many seasons to come!

Tough year last year.

Quote

He suffered an ankle injury in Week 5 and was placed on injured reserve on October 16, 2020.[11] He was activated on November 7, 2020, prior to Week 9.[12] He was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list by the team on November 30, 2020,[13] and activated on December 10.[14]

This year...with his experience and getting a full season of practice I think he can take a big leap.

I am taking most of my homerism stock and putting it into our DL and WR groups.

DL

Top shelf (or higher) quality: Brian Burns (star), Hassan Reddick, Daquan Jones, Derrick Brown 

Above Average/Stud Potential: YGM, Morgan Fox, Bravyon Roy, Davi Nixon

Totally respectable depth: Marquis Haynes, Christian Miller

Saywho?: Phil Hoskins

Sam and Dan are The D'arnolds connection.

I would actually say that Burns is the only one in that top shelf category.

Reddick is in the "potential" category only because he was a bust until his contract year. The raw material is there but you always have to be suspicious of a guy that blows up in the last year of his contract. That is why I love the contract we signed him for. Excellent prove it deal.

Jones has been a quality starter in the NFL for years but definitely not an elite player. I would say a good player but I don't know if I would say he has a ceiling that can get him into that top shelf group at 29. It's possible but unlikely. And, ultimately, I don't think that it matters. If he was just what he was in TEN, it will be a big upgrade and he will be a starter and contributor for us.

Derrick Brown is high in potential but very low in reps on the field. I'd put him in that "stud potential" group until he more consistently shows it on the field. He is our  best candidate to ascend into that group in the next 1-2 seasons.

 

I would honestly split that "Above Average" group out and put the "Stud Potential" guys slightly above them. I don't think most Above Average players have Stud Potential, being my logic behind that. Say, for instance, Jones is Above Average but Derrick Brown has Stud Potential.

How effective they are as a unit is what matters. Not each being an All Pro

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
