Not saying this is a bad movie I’m really curious on your guys’ opinion: would the teams had been better off signing Hopkins?

Not a comment specific to Hopkins but, this new regime seems bound and determined to 1) reshape the roster to their specific schemes, 2) avoid overpaying for players on second and third contracts unless they are good character or locker room fits that will function as extensions of the coaching staff to mentor younger players, and still productive (bye Cam, hello Thielen), 3) make the roster younger and actually develop those younger players, with all the cap management benefits that come with it.

All front offices talk about the above but, damn, this group actually seems committed to doing it… and appear to enjoy doing it.

Hopkins may have failed to meet one or more of the above criteria, or he simply didn’t want to play with a rookie QB.  YMMV.

Because the people who make Madden are clearly NFL experts who pay very close attention to every player in the league. Obviously they're gonna know what position a starter plays, so if you were thinking Chinn is a safety, clearly you're wrong.

Do not question the Madden.

panthers have his former WR coach. he was popped for PEDS too. plus he never was a burner and age may have taken a step.

still he was elite and knows how to get open.

Actually 3.  People tend to forget Marshall ran a 4.38 40. 

We needed to add speed at our WR position in a major way.

Big-time upgrade

Needed some attitude in that soft WR room. Hopefully he's a spark

 

Totally agree we needed some real fire in the WR room.

He admits that he spent 2 years finding himself, but he feels that he has now arrived--I agree

I can definitely believe you have to find yourself before you can go out and preform at a high level.

Is it possible he can take TMJ spot they're basically in similar positions in their careers I'm not advocating for it but his playmaking abilities with Bryce's accuracy could be a potential big play repeatedly. I like TMJ alot but I also understand playmaking trumps everything and returners tend to have that stop and go that make you miss type of playmaking. Which I think could put him in a position to get a few more opportunities then TMJ. Anyone else see this happening or am I just overly excited about having a new weapon on offense.

That's definitely it for Shi Smith, I thought he was getting cut before this trade. I now expect him to get cut. 

I hate it for Shi Smith. I remember his first year with the Panthers Steve Smith was real high on him in training camp.  Sometimes it doesn’t work out.

      Nic Scourton- PFF Highest Rated Rookie (Week 5)

      By Icege · Posted

      I wish I could gaslight myself into believing the same, but Eric Eager wasn't even mentioned until two posts before mine here on page five after the initial pivot to complain about Bryce on page one. Considering the views some of those involved have shared regarding PFF + Dan's involvement on Fitterer's team and... well... Regardless of all of that, Nic Scourton looked really good against the Dolphins. He was setting the edge well and even looked decent in coverage when required to drop back. He was destroying the right side of the Dolphins' OL and even got the best of the LT on several occasions. Seeing what Nic's doing on the field is likely what Evero was hoping DJJ could develop into when they took him. The team also isn't using him as much on special teams (hasn't logged a punt team snap since week 2 but is still part of the FG blocking unit). Completely different players and playstyles, but Scourton's motor and ability to remain constant while opposing OL start to gas out in the late game reminds me a lot of Charles Johnson.

      Shaq Thompson’s house

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I say he's a run of the mill starter. You say he has had a decent career. We're saying the same thing. I never had any issues with Shaq. My issues were with the Panthers in that one, we drafted a player in the 1st round at a position of our greatest strength when there were options available that would've provided us with more initial help. You make a move like that because you think a guy is special, that he's by far and away the best talent available. Two, after he had proven to be good but not great (basically a run of the mill starter) on the field, we turn around and pay him like he's a future HOFer. These aren't issues with Shaq. They're issues with the organization.

      😆If you're not elite or a potential HOFER, then LG calls you "run-of-the-mill" or "meh." Shaq has had a decent career---better than many longtime starters, but not everyone is built to be worthy of the Hall Of Fame.
