Water is wet.

I know a lot of people are high on Chuba, and he did RUN the ball better last year compared to the year before, but he can not catch a cold. He has stone hands and he is the worst receiving back on the team. When CMC went down, it wasn't just a noticeable dropoff in the RB receiving game because he wasn't being utilized, he was, he just dropped damn near everything thrown his way.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Blackshear take 3rd down duties and slowly work into the running rotation as Chuba is fazed out as the year progresses.

I feel like he is better at OG. BC at backup LT and Mayes as backup RT always made the most sense to me. Let Erving backup the interior line as it’s easier to hide a bad player there. 

Well he is a problem we will have this season but we don't have to have that same problem next season.

Which, I have no idea, maybe he really does make that much of a difference in the locker room. If so....I mean....I guess it is what it is.

The value he offers is that with the ball in his hand, he's a freight train. That part of his game is hard to ignore.

But yeah, he can't seem to catch to save his life.

I'm not saying that at all. Young has great presence and it will absolutely help him avoid hits. No point ignoring the fact he's small. It's reality. We bragged about Cam being bigger than the linebackers tackling him. Can't change the laws of physics 

Man I totally agree wtf does his size have to do with escapability you either have it or you don’t no in between. The size remarks make no sense at all from what I just saw he was moving around like a young Brees just avoiding defenders and keeping his eyes downfield ready to make a play I couldn’t be more impressed with a rookie QB so far.

I would lose no sleep if we got rid of him. He's okay, but not reliable in the passing game. The only reason we even drafted the guy was from them whim of Mrs. Rhule.

Did miss reading anything on the backup QB's. Been wondering how Corral is doing with missing last year.

There hasn't been much on him. He is getting the PJ Walker equivalent reps this TC, which is more than last year but still not a lot.

From the small clips I've seen here and there he still has plenty of zip on all his throws, I think he definitely has the strongest arm on the team.

      I believe in bryce...

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Icege · Posted

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
