Just to break the rules of this thread I'm going to go with CJ Henderson.

I think having a full offseason in Carolina will allow him to focus on football and develop into the star player many thought he would become when he was drafted 9th overall. 

I think he becomes a star and by the end of next year the talking heads around the league will say we have one of the best secondaries in the league.

Matt Corral

I think he sees the field this year.  Not because Rhule wants to go that route…..but I just feel too many have forgotten where we were right before we brought Cam in.  Sam will continue to be Sam.  Rhule will continue to be Rhule.    And if they are….BOA will react as they did last year after a couple weeks. 

Without that Cardinals W there were threats of protests outside the stadium lol. Then it just quickly turned to apathy on the obvious lack of coaching talent/personnel decisions. I think Sam should get a couple games with a better line and if he's still 50/50 on his TD/INT numbers fuging pull him, they aren't going to re-sign him anyway so it's just a complete waste of time to start him either way really

Thought of the day: If Sam was a FA would anyone actually sign him, even as a backup 🤔

If I had a talented young secondary that I wanted to inject with some swag in the way of gift wrapped INT balls in camp think I'd sign him. 😂

Wait a minute... that's us! maybe it's some real 4D chess that he's still on the roster...

😂 😂 😂

He might get a Trubisky like deal from last year, but probably not even $2.5M. I don't know if he even likes playing football enough to play for the vet min. He already bought a house in Malibu where he can boogie board 365 days a year

I think Brandon smith has the clearest path to playing time at a position we don't have a lot of talent at. But amare barno seems tailor made for our system. A speed rusher off the edge long and freaky speed. He's my pick for "team rookie of the year sleeper "

Best case scenario and it isn't close. Doubt it though. Rhule doesn't appear to be a guy that will play rookies over vets. 

This makes zero sense.  Not a Rhule fan, but he has never hesitated to put the best player on the field.  Our rookies have seen significant playing time the last couple of years.

Yes. This was my pick.  I hope Corral, but I thought Smith could be dangerous.  Considering how we had only 1 day 1 or 2 pick, we did ok in this draft.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      There was no reason to believe in either Cam or Jake as a top tier elite QB before those seasons either. Cam was an "athletic" QB in most people's minds and his passing skills were open for debate. And there was a bit to that as he was still trying to get that massive power in his arm tamed to be able to put some touch on his passes. And then, he did it. Missiles became bombs, the firing lanes became points of finesse. Cam grew up and leveled up, while still retaining the ability and drive to truck people whenever he wanted. And Jake... no one freaking believed in Jake except Jake himself. He got, and let's be honest with this, one chance in a losing game to make something out of his career. And he rose to the occasion like some kind of mythical hero and continued to do so for the season. He became a true leader for the team, and his gunslinger capabilities rehabbed Moose's career and created Smitty as a force in the league. Smitty went from a barker to a biter. But no one believed in Jake going in. And they trashed him on his way out. Now Bryce... who knows? I've seen some improvement. Maybe he finds his footing. His teammates seem to love and respect him and that means a lot. The game should be moving at his speed now. He has weapons available to him and maybe a defense that doesn't just roll over by the third quarter. And his coach seems to be moving this team in the right direction. Could he do it? It's up to him, if he can find the magic like Jake and Cam did. But don't doubt this, magic is really, really hard to find.
