I think any wins are a bonus at this point, but I look forward to seeing how our players look now being utilized properly.  We will now be able to better gauge their worth and development...

Also, can't wait to finally see Burns utilized as a pass rusher on third downs instead of dropping into coverage 10 yards downfield and Chinn as a SS when he comes back.

This is exactly what we needed to finish out this season, regardless of what happens next season.

Yeah man but no Chinn needs to move back to LB. Am hyped for Wilks for sure

Chinn is a bonafide SS. That’s his natural position and playing closer to the LOS is his strength. It was rumored that Wilks and Snow were at odds over this. Can’t wait if he will use him in that capacity now that he’s the main man.

I could see Chinn being effective as a hybrid LB/SS role in certain packages but he’d be miscast in a full-time LB role. And we don’t need him there with the depth we currently have.

His rookie year he was a bonifide rookie of the year playing LB and actually making a difference. Got snubbed only b/c we're the irrelevant Panthers. So long as he's playing at the LOS instead of way back out in the middle of nowhere doing nothing it will be a good move for the Panthers and Chinns career.

Wilks and Fitt need to find a QB in the draft. Yes I think Wilks can remain hc. Trade the non-oline vet players and let's plan for the future.

There is absolutely nothing indicating Wilks should remain, he was absolutely awful in AZ, I mean sure, we go on a run and finish 13-4, by all means keep him. But barring that, I just don’t see it

Yeah if they identify a better HC option then go for it. I'm not going to stump for Wilks, but I'm not going to be terribly upset if he stays.

I agree with you on playing closer to the LOS as opposed to playing more in space, which was never his strength. Playing LB full time would not be a good long-term career move for him IMO. And unnecessary with the depth we currently have there.

He was also terrible as our DC.  I think the guy is at his level as a position coach.  There is nothing wrong with that.  He seems like a good dude who connects well with the players . . . but just not more than that.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

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

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
