Good for Jermaine Carter, Jr.  It's nice to see the rare later-round Hurney pick develop into a legitimate starter. 

He certainly has worked his tail off and has had to impress Rivera to make the roster to stay beyond his rookie season, and since last year Rhule (who didn't draft him and had no reason to stick with him).

As for Perryman, I'm sure there is frustration building with the coaching staff about him not being out there, but Perryman has been a good player when he's been healthy, and finding an upgrade is not as easy as some people want to make it out to be.

I personally think he makes the team, but barring injuries, I don't see him getting a lot of playing time barring injuries.

One thing I'm growing to respect from Rhule is that it seems like he makes everyone on the team earn playing time by performance alone, without regard to draft position.  There is no deference to a veterans living off the past like former coaches.

I like the group. I believe in Carter and Luvu. 

same. We don't really know what we'll get from those two but it feels promising. Shaq on the other hand...we know exactly what to expect from him

Agreed. Shaq will be solid for us. Too many hate on him because of his contract and I agree he is getting paid more than he should. He cannot control that, but will give his best which is always average to above average depending on the game.

He had to play beside Whitehead last year, he's a good captain and deserves this year to prove his value. Post June cut next year would save like 6 million so not a great contract but better than Matt kalil wasted money

      LT Ikem Ekwonu wants to remain in Carolina long term but has no timeline for an extension

      Curious what his price is, but definitely think we need to resign him. Hard to find a quality tackle - he's definitely improved and having a stable guard in lewis beside him has helped a ton. Still needs to work on the false start and holding penalties though

      Yeah, you want actual Panthers fans to succeed. Same with poor Will Levis a few years ago. You just wish the local ACTUAL Panthers fans(very rare in the first place), pan out.  But, alas, it is what it is. I don't know if it is as simple as having Ikey switch to RT immediately. I think the cleanest switch would have been to attempt that for him as a LG. But, we spent a fuging shitload of dough on our IOL.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      Seriously? You think we might have 4 or even 5 starters the next couple years from last year’s draft? Wallace and Legette were starters because of injuries and no good depth. We’ve already resigned Thielen and drafted TMac. I’d be shocked if Legette isn’t WR4 (snap/target/production wise) behind those two and Coker. I’m not Sure if Wallace will stay a starter with Rozeboom. Smith-Wade might be the likeliest starter for now because we didn’t draft a CB. We’ll see if he sticks. Sanders may also start but the starting TE is like being the tallest midget. We’ve had about 500ish receiving yards from TEs each of the past 3 years whether it was Thomas/Tremble or Tremble/Hurst or Tremble/Sanders. Honestly, if Evans can stay healthy, the fact that he can actually block (unlike Thomas who sucked but was called a blocking TE) and catch could make him the best starter we have at TE. Also, Brooks missing two of four rookie contract seasons and caused us to draft Etienne in the 4th and sign Dowdle. Sorry man, you’re smoking some serious hopium trying to justify last year’s draft as if it was good. We are one of the worst talented teams in the NFL over the past 7 seasons and sometimes that means that we get a lot of rookie contributors but it doesn’t mean it was a good draft. Until the rookies are actually above average starters it’s like going from Thomas to Tremble to Sanders to Evans. There’s no impact to our win total until one of them actually is more than just a starter because we have to play someone. One last nugget, we won’t be a playoff team if 25% of our starters are from the 2024 draft.
