So, no QB who can produce GWD, no WR who can come up clutch and break a game open, no dependable TE, no reliable RB to rotate in for CMC, no solution at LT, no solution at C, Michael Jordan continuing to fail as a starter at guard, a DL that can't stop the run, only 1 LB worth starting, no LBs who can fill holes, Chinn out of position, unreliable SS, the hope squad at CB, not a single draft pick is standing out, no one is good at blitzing the QB, and not a single defender who has proven they can produce turnovers and threaten an offense.

Positives: CMC is a go to threat, DJ Moore can show flashes when covered one on one, lots of good coverage options on defense, and one top pass rusher.

Looks like an easy week for opposing coaches to game plan. Focus defense on CMC, role coverage to DJ, and load up on runs and screens to Brian Burns side. Challenge everyone not named CMC or DJ to beat them one on one, and make the Panthers prove they can consistently stop the run and the screen passes with negative yardage plays or turnovers. Save the big offensive plays and playbook if the game is close in the late 3rd quarter and the opposing team is trailing. Otherwise just play field position for 3 quarters.

That will about sum up the season with what the Panthers have put together with the offseason, draft, and camp. Maybe 4 wins this year I'd go to 7 wins if CMC stays healthy and has a record breaking year.

Two deals I took away besides the cowardness of having one name- The DE/edge room my god its the scariest group. One snap away form starting 235 LB Haynes or "i didnt get a game jersey" johnson...... the other Sean Chandler as 2nd team safety. Terrible, couple good safeties are going to get cut. Id move Sam Franklin to LB lastly as well. 

Built up the o-line now the d-line looks like a weakness along with LBers. We could be giving up huge ypg on the ground.

Bozeman probably has to b a 2nd so him and Baker can get chemistry. 

Chinn actually played alot of Safety his rookie year also.. I think the snap count was something like 51% LB - 49% S. I dont recall if he was SS or FS but I do remember looking at the count and being surprised at how it was brokedown. I do wish he was placed at SS. 

I like Luvu starting ... that should help our run defense. 

The Dline is underwhelming "on paper".

Burns, Brown, and YGM should all be improved from last year(hopefully) and I'm still holding out hope that Brown and YGM can have a Greg Hardy/KK-esque 3rd year leap. 

I've been doing my DD on Ioannidis.. Up until tonight I thought our scouting dept had been using there resources to find us this gem...and he very well might be. He looks pretty good at pushing the interior (in a limited action role). But I gotta admit I was little surprised to see he went to school at Temple. Although I really shouldn't have been.

If Brown and YGM can actually make an impact that would be great. Biggest concern is the depth instantly turns into undersized Jags. Gotta pick up at least a couple bigger bodies or else we're getting ran on 30 times a game losing the time of posession. Panthers always playing Whac-a-mole with weaknesses

      Everyone Says BPA. Panthers Won’t.

      I mean I'd like to add a monster TE as much as anyone else but ultimately what use will that serve with a QB who had 54 passing yards in 4 quarters at one point last season? Defense defense defense.

      At this point its Sadiq or bust... A

      By micnificent28 · Posted

      Personally I think he's a nightmare to cover I think linebackers generally aren't fast enough to keep up with him in coverage and cornerbacks don't have the strength to tackle him one-on-one in physically bring them down which would normally lead to a broken tackle or a nasty stiff arm or just bully ball play sure you could find a receiver with comparable speed like Cooper but he's faster than Cooper sure you can find a wide receiver that is the same size but he's probably More powerful than them and a better blocker.  The size speed athleticism package that he is in is completely unique it's easier to say I'd rather have just a big blocker because we've never seen this type of profile before I'm a risk taker I think you would be God blessed if this was there at 19 I think if you can get a guy that's a tight end who immediately becomes the fastest guy on your offense and at the same time that third wide receiver that can stretch and burn defenses over the top that's the perfect what the Panthers need type weapon.

      I think you're under selling Sadiq. They are two different players in terms of how they win. Loveland is 2 inches taller maybe 5-6 pounds heavier. Comparing his speed to sadiq.. well your comparing a 4.7 guy to a 4.3 guy I'm seeing a guy that can take a bubble screen from the tight end position and turn it into a house call. I'm not saying the guy is a certified home run pick but I don't think there's really a president's for a comparison for this kind of athlete. It's easy to say this doesn't look like Warren or Loveland because we haven't seen guys that fit this profile The closest you might be able to get is Vernon Davis.  He's not as sure far as those guys were but at 19 I think almost everybody is going to have some warts and he's a lottery ticket of could be top 10 in the draft player or could fail I am more of a risk taker I think he fits the athletic profile that could be a homerun, like I said he's almost 40 lb bigger than Cooper and like 4-5 in taller than Cooper so and he's faster. So whatever you think Cooper gives you I think he does that and more. If you want to go with one of the office alignment I can understand that as well but for value as a receiving threat I don't think there's a bigger value at number 19.
