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.

      Kicker

      By TD alt · Posted

      Well, they're both in the same league (if you will). During preseason, Fitz went 3/3 & Sauls went 5/6, but of course Sauls was 4/4 last night (including one 50+). Both were Lou Groza Award finalists. I believe Fitz made two 55+ yarders last season, while Sauls led the nation with three. Fitz was 13/13 (💯) while Sauls was 21/24 (87.5). Fitz was a 3rd-Team AP All-American, while Sauls was a PFF All-American.  Career-wise, Fitz was 58/74 (78.4), while Sauls was 52/64 (81.3). I wish that I could see the attempts and knew the depth of yardage. I wish that we could compare practice kicks during their training camps, but we can't. Maybe someone with a PFF/CFF account can give that Basically it's just a matter of belief I guess. Seeing dude knock down four FGs and go perfect during a pressure-filled game for him is damned impressive if you ask me. I don't believe that Fitzgerald could do that.  That being said, I'd have to know more. I will say that it may be worth mentioning that we seem to like PFF this year and Sauls being a PFF All-American may be notable. Now that being said, the Panthers may not be even considering Sauls.

      Preseason over..2025 predictions

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Ive said it 1000x times on here.  Our 2025 season will be dictated by the first 4 games.  poo the bed there and lose all confidence and momentum, we win 5 games maybe.  Go 2-2, 3-1 we got a look at 7/8 wins

      Preseason over..2025 predictions

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I basically made almost the exact predictions on a phone call with a buddy about 3 weeks ago. I really do expect Evero gone before the seasons end, Young to just not able to get over the hump enough and DC to head into next season on a VERY hot seat.
