One of the guys on the PFF podcast has Mingo as his rookie of the year candidate. 

If Mingo has ROY numbers at WR that means Bryce is balling out and no way he loses out to his own receiver. This is a terrible position to take.

Which position group on the team do you think could have the highest potential or the lowest floor?

 

 

Corner. We didn’t do anything to truly bolster it thus far. Still pissed over Rhule letting Bradberry walk. We definitely have some very elite talent that could play back there but if only they can stay health.

Me personally, I don't think Mingo sees the field much at all this season. 

IF (And this is honestly a longshot based on their history) Chark and TMJ are healthy, I see them taking over the 1 and 2 WRs with Thielen as our slot option and main red zone target. We'll have some plays schemed up for Shenault throughout the game to utilize his run after catch abilities, and then there's also Hurst and Sanders getting targets as well. 

That leaves Mingo, the rookie, on the outskirts with not much to do unless someone gets hurt. 

Next year if we move on from Chark or TMJ Falls flat, I can see Mingo sliding into the #2 receiver. But if our receivers stay healthy, I don't anticipate him doing much this year.

If he’s not a day one started imma be pissed. Mingo needs to develop at a national scale. I personally don’t have that much trust in TMJ. But that could be jaded by the awful offensive schemes we’ve had the past few years.

I'd say WR.

Theilen is the only WR who has an established floor that should be league average at worst.

Chark (health), TMJ & Mingo (inexperience) and others like Shenault give us potential to creep up into the top 10 as a unit. If those factors go sideways, we also could be bottom 5 at the WR position. Definition of boom or bust imo.

Agreed. Yes, Young is key but I don’t think OP meant 1 player. I don’t think the CB group has nearly the potential of the WRs. Donte was never close to the top CBs and the rest are kind of garbage beyond Horn. I think they end up being Horn and meh without much upside or downside other than Horn missing a lot of time again.

I’d go wideout for the same sentiments as above.

 

CB on paper looks scary good and the biggest question mark is can Donte and Jayce stay healthy. 

Scary good? It's literally the same group as last year plus a couple UDFA's. It was scary bad when Horn went down. The only hope they have for depth is 2 UDFA's beating out 2 of the depth guys and that's usually not very likely to happen. Maybe Wright knocks out STO or Taylor

He's not going to be a day one starter and it's not important that he is. There are going to be 2 to 3 WR ahead of him.

Justin Jefferson wasn't

Davante Adams wasn't

Stefon Diggs wasn't

Drake London wasn't

Garrett Wilson wasn't

Chris Olave wasn't

Tyreek Hill started 1 game is rookie year

I'd say our defensive line.  We have a bunch of guys beyond burns and brown.  Plus the transition to the 3-4. 

How well will they transition? Will someone opposite of Burns step up? Will the interior of the line not only hold up, but provide push? 

If our defense is to take a step forward this year, it starts right here in the trenches. 

If not, won't matter how good Young is.

I think with the changes made this year you could pick any position group and have a good argument. This year really will be interesting, we hope in a good way.

Scary good if Horn and Jackson can be on the field. If one or both goes down it’s going to get ugly.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I went to Canes games back in '04 & '05 when you were probably still a swimmer waiting to make your dad a father. There was no one there bc they sucked. Some of the lowest attendance in the NHL. As a Panthers fan coming off a SB season (03-04), I couldn't even believe they put a hockey team in Raleigh, and given the attendance, a lot of people speculated they would be relocated somewhere back up north where they would be supported and not "Mayberry." Seriously, educate youself.  That is reality. That being said, comparing that environment to 2024 Canes would be disingenuous. I was at PNC last year and know how great the current environment is. Comparing the current environment at BOA to 10 years ago is just as disingenuous.  Just bc you didn't witness how good BOA is when the Panthers are actually decent doesn't change reality. Seriously, surely you see that coming from such an elitist environment like the globally renowned world-class city of Raleigh, NC... I guarantee you if you went to a Canes game and a Panthers game in 2005, the difference would be unreal bc the Panthers were awesome and the Canes were (at the time) a moribund franchise. I have been in BOA when the whole stadium was rocking. You simply are young, don't know what you're talking about, but want to portray yourself as having knowledge about things you simply don't. You have a lot in common with modern day politicians and televangelists Like I said, Idiocracy has prevailed... Have a great day too!

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!
