Rank our gamers

[Gapanthersfan]

Here’s another good vibe thread. No knockers allowed. Yes, too long to read blah blah. You’re spending Thursday afternoon on a message board. Do you seriously have anything better to do with your time? 

Yes, this Panthers team has talent. We can field an NFL caliber roster… and win, or at least showing we’re not that far from it. I’m not drunk on the hopeium, just buzzed. Yes, the top teams still exploit us, not denying that, but we do have guys that would upgrade other teams’ rosters… DUDES… something I didn’t think I would say when the season started. We have holes that you can fly a 747 through, but we do have quite a few good pieces. 

Rank:

#1. And it’s not even arguable: His name rhymes with Frankie Luvu. A who is that turned in to a legit All Pro, and it’s a crime if he isn’t. Intelligent. Driven. Complete animal in every aspect of the game. Best who is that signing since Norwell. 

2. Thielen: Yup. Another first down. Just throw it. I’ll catch it. Oh, there’s another first down. Pro bowl talent.

3. Brown. Pocket destroyer, run killer. Soon to be sack master and what Jenkins should have been. He’s just waiting for actual pass rushers to show up.  All pro talent.

4. Horn: The man that is impossible to give up on. Legit HOF talent if he could only stay healthy. All pro talent. 

5. Bryce: The last 2 games when we were down, he stepped up and made big plays at big times. Very well done young man. Impossible to say his ceiling at this point.

6. Hubbard: 2nd 10 is now 3rd and 2. You’re welcome. He has done this every game, all season. Fringe pro bowl potential, but probably not. 

7. Chark: First game where I’ve seen one of our receivers be completely uncoverable since…? His ceiling is? A lot to still be seen, but that game was insane for him. DJ had some huge games for us, but I don’t remember a game where he showed me what I saw on Sunday (flame away). Every play he made was in good coverage but it didn’t seem to matter. When was the last ‘you can not cover my guy’ game that we’ve seen from an WR,  and it was actually our guy.  Good hands day Ginn? Pro bowl talent. Maybe more.

Our depth is awful. We have some glaring talent and coaching holes (does the D line even have a coach?)… But we have gamers. Play makers. Please retain our core and don’t burn it down.

Let me fix this for you...

 

1. Derrick Brown - one of the premier interior DL in the league

2. Frankie Luvu - (not under contract in 2024 - hopefully a resign unless he wants to go to a team that can win consistently)

3. Taylor Moton 

4. Jaycee Horn - when he is actually on the field

5. Xavier Woods 

6. Chuba Hubbard - torn muscle when drafted, in pain until this year, now a solid RB

7. Ikem Ekwon

8. Adam Thielen

9. Brian Burns - (not under contract in 2024 - tag and trade, either non-exclusive or exclusive)

10. Bryce Young

Amazing how much pro bowl and HOF talent we have on this 2-13 team.

I never said we were good. Very far from it, but we do have winners. No one has yet to dispute anyone on my list. We do have lots of good players, but that in itself does not win games. 
 

Sniffrey listed 10 players. All good talent. I don’t agree with his placement, but 10 obviously talented players that would start on other teams.

We have talent on this team, but holes at key places and depth issues.

1, Derrick Brown

2. Frankie Luvu

The rest at this point are too old, too inconsistent, or stay injured all the time.

I know a lot of you love Chuba, but he is JAG at RB, he is just loads better than Miles Sanders terrible ass. 

Theilen is old

Bryce hasnt shown enough to believe he is definitely the guy. 

Chark is very inconsistent and injury prone.

Horn gets injured just thinking about playing NFL football.

Bryce? good lord

Gamers, gamers! We don't have any other than Brown... any starters we have would be hard pressed to be second stringers on other teams.  Fitt magic.
