Who were your favorite Panthers preseason warriors (who did nothing in the regular season)


Recommended Posts

Every training camp we start to swoon over someone that we think will be a real difference maker, a legit find, a diamond in the rough, and he ends up doing nothing. It's just how it works. Some guys, like Fasani, end up actually playing a game, but that Tampa game of his might be the worst Panthers QB performance ever, and that's saying a lot.

I think it should be limited to those superstars that never got off the bench, or even made the 53 on game day.

I forget the guy's name but he was a middle linebacker with a blonde mullet in the 2010s.  Classic "sneaky athletic gym rat great kid from a great family nonstop motor" type player who was just all over the field.  I don't think he ever played a snap in a regular season game.

You talking about Mayo? He's still with Ron in DC.

Keep seeing Gettis brought up. He doesn’t really fit the criteria imo. He actually showed he belonged in the regular season his rookie year, with awful QB play. 
 

He just blew his knee and never got back to that. 
 

Him producing in real games at 6’4” with 4.3 speed, and then getting hurt is why so many were hyped for him, and why he is a panther meme for “late round potential gems.”

    • no doubt but flip that.   The current system insures that there are "regional" games in the early weeks. maximizing the reach of playoff football.  If all of the WC weekend for a conference took place on the west coast they are reducing the "reach" of their hype machine.
    • Hard to say with London--he never ran--combine or pro day.  Here is what AI says, and it is always 100% accurate: Drake London's 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine was not recorded because he was dealing with a fractured ankle at the time. While he didn't participate in the 40 at the Combine or his pro day, his coach said his 40 time was estimated to be between 4.4 and 4.53 seconds. Some sources also list his 40 time at 4.58 and 4.6 seconds Unless you are running 9s all day, top end 40 speed is rarely reached.  I have always looked at the 3-cone drill.  At his pro day, TMac ran a 6.86--pretty good, actually.  For context, it is faster that Rome Odunze (6.88) who ran a 4.45 40.  Odunze is 6'3" and weighs 216, fwiw, and is considered a very good route runner with no wasted motion.  Mike Evans 3-cone was 7.08.  To put it in a broader context, through 2022, with all NFL prospect 3-cone drills combined, a 6.86 puts TMac in the.89th percentile-  Now consider the fact that he is 6'4" and 220.   We might have something here.  '
