Panthers start making cuts

Just heard that Smiths injury was significant which likely puts him on IR.  I think that who can return kicks and punts will decide those last roster spots.

He's posting the game highlights on his IG stories so must be on the optimistic side. IR is pretty flexible still this year, 3 week minimum, no limit on number of players returning

Doubtful. We are either gonna keep Ian or try and trade him. He wouldn’t have been starting on the first drive yesterday if not. 

I can't imagine who would trade for Thomas, but then we got something for Little so who the hell knows.

I doubt the coaching staff believes any of these players are PS worthy otherwise we would not have cut them this early. We are the 1st NFL team today to announce any cuts 

A lot of teams are playing tonight, so we've got a head start on them.

Yeah the first cuts aren't usually invited back to be PS players. As I said with Fisher - great instincts, but just not athletic enough for the NFL. Shame really.

Rivera? The fact he was a one yesterday tells me he’s safe. Tremble is probably the 1b in this situation for a year.

David Moore makes it easily. I don't know if Smith is going to have to go on IR.

 

I thought the same...then I checked his contract...we save 3.5 mill over the next 2 years if we cut him.  We'll see.  I was hoping to see more of him in preseason but it is a crowded position.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
