Notes about Perryman and depth

Interesting notes about Perryman and the depth of the team from the article posted on Panthers.com about what we learned from training camp below.

 

**Its still not a particularly deep team*

We mentioned Carter and Thompson earlier. There's not really much of substance behind them at inside linebacker.

It might have been Denzel Perryman, but he hasn't made a great first impression this camp. He appears to be lighter than they'd prefer (both Carter and Thompson have mentioned adding weight this offseason), and he's barely practiced after a soft-tissue injury on the first day in pads.

The good news is, there's generally more of a supply of veteran inside linebackers than other positions, because it's a spot many teams try to get younger and cheaper at. Bringing in old-head Josh Bynes last week was a step in that direction, but Fitterer specifically mentioned that position as something he'll be looking at when other teams make cuts.

They'll also be looking at offensive linemen, and a few other spots over the next week and a half.

If the joint workouts with the Colts and Ravens proved anything conclusively, it's that those two teams are a year or two or five ahead of the Panthers in terms of roster construction, and it's most evident when the twos and threes are on the field.

That statement pisses me off honestly, esp coming from the team site…5 years??? Give me a break.

What, you want them to pump out that it's all sunshine and unicorns? 

Rivera and Hurney left us with a wreck of a roster... and then Luke Kuechly retired. 

Rhule (and Fitterer this year) has added a TON of quality depth to the team. It's a 53 man roster - with the best will in the world, you can't turn over that team in two off-seasons, and that's IF you hit on all of your FA acquisitions and Draft picks, which never happens. 

We were competitive last year, I expect us to be more competitive this year - albeit a lot of that rests on Darnold's shoulders - and I expect Playoffs (or at least a Playoffs number of wins) in 2022 if the trend continues.

LOL…This is not a league with teams deep in talent everywhere.  You want depth in the right places but yeah…MLB is a weakness for us

We aren’t there yet in year 2 of the rebuild.  Ok…thats fine

Thank you. In today's NFL, secondary and DL are prioritized, and rightfully so.

It's literally our coach's second year and our GM's first. Calm the fug down, people.

I'm in wait-and-see mode. If Darnold doesn't pan out, we will have to find a franchise QB, or we may seem light years behind the Ravens and even the Colts for years on end. That's my worst nightmare, being the Bears in regards to QB purgatory for the last decade.

I get that, but this staff is going to find us a QB. If it's obvious it's not Darnold, they'll move on quickly. We could end up like the Bucs. Stacked roster, find the missing piece, then championships. It would be even better if we won a SB with our own young QB rather than a geriatric rental that's going to have his number retired up North.

      I understand why your brain translates "cool, calm, and collected" into a pejorative like "boring milquetoast" since you're genuinely the polar opposite of cool calm and collected, as someone who awkwardly escalates every innocuous statement into multi-paragraph performative rants as if someone just slapped your mother.  I assure you that well-adjusted people do not consider that to be an insult in the real world...not ass-backwards Internet Land where it's cool and trendy to be a Debbie Downer and being "too positive" is thrown around as a slur.  I remember you bragging about taking two days away from these boards as if that was a big accomplishment for you, which was eye-opening to say the least.  I genuinely hope this is just some internet character you're playing, because the way you act on these boards would be objectively so off-putting in the real world.  I've known a couple people like this and it's always incredibly socially awkward and sucks the energy out of the room; these are the people who don't get invited out to social events. But instead of properly absorbing and learning from these social cues in person, you're being enabled by your fellow gloomy weird internet friends here which only encourages you to spend more and more of your time online to get the approval you crave.  Just some life advice, my friend...since I'm assuming you are very young.  Don't spend all of your time in here.  There's a whole world out there with real people and meaningful connections.  And despite what the internet has taught you, being pleasant is a good thing. Btw it's really interesting how you ignored this part and instead honed in on a singular 2-second moment that I referenced and saying that I "summed him up" that way.  But hey, this is ass-backwards Internet Land after all.
