Np practice squad players can be poached by any team as long as a team puts them on their 53 man roster 

I believe we have the ability to protect 4 players on the practice squad this year.

 

*Expansion of practice squads to 16 players, including up to six who have more than two accrued seasons. The ability to protect up to four practice squad players per week from being signed by other teams.

Rhule or Snow (sorry, I forget now which it was) mentioned something in today's presser that got me thinking about something.

He reminded the media of how few games a lot of the rookies played last year, while making a comment about the importance of managing player reps and needing depth. (I think it was Rhule talking about why it's so impressive that Jaycee is already acting like a pro in terms of caring for his body). This 17 game season is going to be BRUTAL for a lot of our rookies.  The rookie wall could be way more evident than normal since many played so little last year.

Makes me think it might be wise to temper expectations for the late part of the season. Hopefully youth will be an advantage and our guys will stay strong. But 17 games is going to be a shock to them mentally and physically.

I think you've hit the nail on the head here with that observation. That rookie wall is going to be real and probably higher than ever before. But what's a coach to do? It's not like every team isn't facing the same situation.

And for vets, I wonder how teams that went deep into the playoffs last season will fair as this longer season wears on. Will we see more injuries or weariness from the Bucs and Chiefs?

Not a big college football guy so I dont really know much about these kids before they are playing in the NFL

There was a "welcome to Charlotte" video for Horn out there, I think on the Panthers website. You should watch it - worth seeing how his dad is decked out. 🤣

Just learned today via Scott Fowler's latest column that Joe Horn is living in Charlotte to support Jaycee   Hopefully we'll be seeing him at every game decked out in Panthers gear.  Just a fun way to dunk a bit on the Aints!

      How short a leash will Young be on?

      By CRA · Posted

      maybe.  but everything is handpicked by him.  all the soccer coaches he fired.  all the football coaches he fired (minus Ron).  GMs.  all the front office folks.   the plans he makes to build facilities and then not.  Tepper quickly parts with all his handpicked people when they don't produce.  and it's not like Bryce is some lab built QB that you can sort of go back and convince yourself on and blame everyone else around him for why it doesn't work.

      I spit coffee out my nose when I saw this the next morning as I wasn't watching. Not because of the player but because of the execution and who did it. They had to know that the odds of their QB being their at 8 was extremely high and yet they still brought in Cousins and paid him a fortune to be there. Apparently, I'm not there so I don't know, he was also told they are win now which to me makes sense as they have a good roster in general. I could understand it if hey hired a much cheaper journeyman to run this season to give Penix a year to grow into the system but Cousins? That makes zero sense to me and I honestly feel sorry for Penix. That is a horrible way to start his NFL career and it's not his fault. The only thing I have against him is that he's now a Falcon. However, at this specific moment, he's my favorite Falcon. Muhahaha

      Charlotte FC on 3rd HC Panther on 4th HC.  3rd GM.  5th starting QB entering a season.  parted with CMC, Burns, DJ Moore and every big name/star Carolina drafted Tons of shakeup in his front office and corporate staff.  The fans will show more patience with Bryce than Tepper based on what we know of Tepper IMO.
