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.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By bandu · Posted

      take a  look around the league at other young Qb's around Bryce Young's age group  such as Drake Maye , Jayden Daniels, Bo Nix , CJ Stroud  & Caleb Williams who at the time like Bryce Young they also were drafted also joined teams with a losing record .the only difference with these Qb's is after joining their teams with a losing record they led those same teams to a winning record in a very short period of time .it's simply what you call a game changer & or elite Qb's & then take a  look at  the other side of the coin you have Qb's such as Trey Lance, Zach Wilson, Mac Jones, Justin Fields  & Anthony Richardson also like Bryce Young all first round picks who instead of winning either did not play or led their teams to a losing record while playing  just because Bryce Young was a #1 overall pick does not necessarily mean that he will become improve with time if history tells you anything it's matter of fact just the opposite . lBryce Young who has an overall record of 14-30 & wildly inconsistent & never in the history pf the NFL has a Qb 5'10" or shorter had a successful carrer as Qb in the NFL  you have to ignore alot of FACTS & be really ignorant to the FACT to think Bryce Young is the future at Qb if anything history is telling you exactly what ?..just saying

      to me these two signings were so bad for the Panthers at the time of our young team. "Sean Gilbert was signed by the Carolina Panthers on April 21, 1998, after being traded from the Washington Redskins in a deal that sent the Panthers two first-round picks (Nos. 5 and 12) to Washington. The Panthers then re-signed Gilbert to a 7-year, $46.5 million contract extension on the same date"  The other was Jason Peters being picked in the First round of the 1998 draft. "Peter played for the Panthers from 1998 to 2001, appearing in 38 games (starting 20) and recording 88 total tackles, 7.5 sacks, and 1 fumble recovery His NFL career was cut short by a chronic neck stinger, forcing him to retire after the 2001 season
