I just meant in terms of him struggling early.  It obviously is not the final word on his career, I expect he'll still be good.  Just saying I'm surprised that 1) they switched him to RT, and 2) that he is struggling at all.  Just didn't expect it, but he's got plenty of time.

They switched him to RT because they already have a pretty good LT who is young on the roster.

Not saying the kid is a bust, but I think the Horn pick will work out better for us. Makes me wonder if we really would've chosen him if he was available at #8? Something tells me we wouldn't have?

If we passed on Fields AND Sewell for a CB at 8, I might have actually cried. They can justify Fields because they invested in Darnold, but a LT of Sewell’s caliber when we have Erving penciled in is inexcusable.

Hes below drinking age, hasnt played close to two years, and learning a new spot in a totally new environment. Hes behaving like a rookie, not surprising going against 280Lb man-beast vets. Just me but I do not judge ANY rookie til the start of the 2nd full off-season(unless cut or 1st/2nd team all-pro). There were reports of him being immature in interviews and at college, idgaf. Part of the reason for me thinking he would be at 8, was loins had a good vet at LT, but like DLmen you can not have enough good OLmen either. Loins are like the Jets about players not wanting to be drafted by them, sorta ruin careers given the history......(but new people are in charge at both, so it could change like it did for browns....just took 20+ years...).

It's obviously WAYYY too early to pass judgement on Sewell. But it's interesting that our 3rd round pick that is also being asked to play RT after playing LT his whole career seems to be playing a fair bit better than Sewell in the preseason. At the very least, that's gotta make you feel good about drafting someone you can say that about when Sewell is supposed to be a generational talent.

Christensen isn't going against starters.

Which is frankly hilarious. Nothing says success like drafting a position you already have a really good starter at, then changing the draft picks position. All while having serious holes everywhere in your roster.

Lots of insight here.  I must have been drunk and missed the entire 2021 season.  Thanks for catching me up on how the rookies performed.

Hey man, Madden picked us to lose in the Super Bowl, so things aren't all that bad.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.

      I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
