Tuesday's practice was part of a voluntary minicamp. A few players were missing, including new tight end Hayden Hurst (again, it's voluntary) and Burns (who had ankle surgery last week).

Not a good way to make an impression on the new team, Hurst. Cut him and draft his replacement!

 

Is that the proper overreaction to that news?🤔

No matter the post or reply we can't get anyone off the QB debate threads. At least this is an Alt free zone lol.

The QB debate will rage until next draft. These guys aren't going to let it go once the season starts just because they want to be able to say I told you so to those in the opposite camp.

He hates football. Is he holding out for more money??? Check Reddit.

I'm a little concerned that he lives in Jacksonville Florida by choice, but TE's are a rare breed and it helps if they're a little bit off. We've been way too soft at the position as of late

He seems more gadget-y to me.  Want someone with more shiftiness and speed than LS, although he did grade out very well; he was in slot 51.5% of his snaps which accounted for 50 snaps in the slot the entire year.  

For comparison, Shi Smith was played in the slot for 266 passing snaps which accounted for 78.7% of his snaps.  That accounted for 38 targets with only 22 receptions.  We could really use a slot upgrade.  Smith was graded 110th out of 113 eligible receivers.

He can return kicks and block very well so I wouldn't be surprised if he makes the team. Thomas Brown was a returner so I know he's not gonna easily accept having Shi or Chuba back there

Thielen is definitely starting in the slot

Was that his fault?

Unsure.  Shi's usage didn't really change after we landed Shenault.  Once here, we brought Laviska in on very specific playcalls so he just seemed to be used in a more creative fashion.  That was with Rhule and then a dismantled hodge-podge staff so we'll see. 

Even in JAX, his slot play was still in the 57% range of his passing snaps.  Only 27% his rookie year.

It will be interesting how the new staff evaluates him and if they think they can get more usage for him.  Looking forward to that with a lot of players.

      Worst Panthers Preseason Yet

      By Shotgun · Posted

      The panthers are such a trash organization at this point that all the huddle can do is argue about which panthers team is historically the worst…good times.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Well, hope they're not worried about a torn Labrum or Rotator Cuff, as someone who went through that myself, I know those don't have anything show up on X-Rays but from the MRI, so this is kinda a nothing update, hope it's not a tear or his season is already over if they decide to do surgery now. Which is basically what would be needed to get him to 100% for the start of next season's training camp if it's a labrum.  If he plays the season with it and then does surgery, he's not going to be ready for camp and probably not the start of the season either.

      Preseason over..2025 predictions

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I always try to not pay much attention to a team’s preseason win/loss record. The 1982 Washington and 2021 LA Rams both lost every game in the preseason and went on to win the Super Bowl, whereas the 2008 Detroit Lions and 2017 Cleveland Browns both won every game in reason and went on to lose every regular season game. There’s many examples of teams that lose in preseason that go on to have good seasons, but equally there are teams that lose in preseason and that continues in the regular season. Which will we be?  I think our floor is a handful of wins, while our ceiling will probably be around the 9-10 win mark. The latter will require significant improvement from the whole team and coaching staff, and will also need Bryce to play like the QB we drafted him to be. I want to be optimistic and predict a winning season, but it’s really difficult as a Panthers fan!
