I'd rather have a solid guy with actual NFL game reps at the position with Bryce still shaky and a new HC/OC and new guards, TE etc. But not my job

In the back of my mind I keep wondering if they are trying (not that I have heard anything) to sign Connor Williams.  I mean, Hunt was his teammate--maybe there is a connection.  Last I heard, Williams was a free agent.  https://www.pff.com/nfl/players/connor-williams/46216

yeah honestly it's fuging stupid we're paying Bozeman $7M to play for another team just hoping Corbett translates and stays healthy at C. Seemed like a bit of a reactionary move for how last season went with such a churn at the guard positions

I like this coker guy. He might be able to come in and move someone else right off the roster. 

Plus the "Pure Coke" nickname will do major numbers. 

Better than having a staff that just had TMJ standing around, same with TE's, no real competition, no reason not for the players to be complacent in their spots for the past few years

Please pin this and add to the list as the signings come in later tonight.

Be sure to include the following: Name of the player, position, school, and link to information or video.

Here is the current list as things stand:

QB – Jack Plummer, Louisville

WR – Sam Pinckney, Coastal Carolina

WR – Jalen Coker, Holy Cross

OL – Jeremiah Crawford, Tennessee

OL – Andrew Rahm, Oklahoma

DE – Taylor Upshaw, Arizona

DT – Popo Aumavae, Oregon

LB – Derrick McLendon, Colorado

CB – Willie Drew, Virginia State

CB – DeShawn Gaddie, Ole Miss

S – Demani Richardson, Texas A&M

I’ve watched Sam Pinckney for four years now. Very good chance he makes the practice squad. He isn’t incredibly explosive but man does he have great body control and fluid movement. As a Sun Belt fan, I approve of this pick-up.

Coker will have a great mentor in Theilen.  Theilen was an undrafted rookie as well.

Each year I pick  UDFA that makes the team or PS. Coker is my man in 2024.

Outside of Smitty really liking him I love that he's a great route runner.

He has good hands, and something that is easily lost--this kid is 6' 1" 220.  He gets in position to make contested catches--something he had to do because his QB was not accurate and his timing was off.   That (to me) is what makes him a dawg.

And you are exactly right--I would put him behind Thielen in the slot and let him learn.  I seriously believe that a second WR was a luxury for us because we had so many other needs, but they practically promised him a roster spot (see salary) if he goes undrafted.  This guy will be awesome in 2025 when Thielen is probably gone.  Not only will he earn a roster spot, but he will become a familiar face for some time--based on what I am seeing on the video.

I think Pinkney has a shot too. He’s a bigger body guy who does everything you want someone with his size to do.

That was a rags to riches to rags story if I have ever seen one.  He got here and played behind Pat Elflein for a while and then got the starting gig and we loved him. Then last season they had him flanked by 7 different guards on each side of him and he struggled, so they cut him loose.  Musta been more to it than we know.  He would have been a decent backup.  Maybe not a good fit for the new offense?

I wouldn't shock me if the try to convert Pickney to TE.  They keep holding on to these underweight TEs on the PS like Matthew and Pierce.  I think even Sullivan was lite when he first got here and has put on weight since.  Problem being we can't find the complete package.  We either have blocking TEs that aren't proficient pass catchers (Thomas and Tremble) or guys like I previously mentioned that more like tall WRs, but can't block for nothing.

I see it like this:  Can Coker beat out Terrace Marshall Jr?  Can Pinkey beat out Smith-Marsette (since Legette can return kicks) or Jonathan Mingo?

I see Pinkney going to the PS for a season, but he will be pulled up if there is an injury--even if we stay healthy, in 2025, there will probably be two vacancies.  Not sure what Johnson is going to want $$$$, and Thielen will probably be done or cut.  Pinkney could then compete for a job, and with his height, he gives you that Tall red zone WR.   Worth keeping on the PS at the least.

He's not a fit for the blocking scheme they want to implement.

This would be an incredibly smart move if he will take something reasonable for a few years.  If he returns to form he is our C of the future.  Great call out @MHS831

      Underdog 2nd year QB preview

      By frankw · Posted

      The "I'm a better fan" card is getting really old and only serves to pour fuel on these discussions and people who choose to engage in this should reconsider their position or consider whether it is everyone else that is the problem or themselves. Anywho. The same vehement defenses of Bryce Young were also made on behalf of Kyle Allen Teddy Bridgewater and Sam Darnold. Nobody here knows what's going to happen. Nobody here is better than anyone else either. Why? Because no matter what our individual day to day thoughts on the team may be. We are still here.

      Underdog 2nd year QB preview

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      It dawned on me this morning.... that we have a fan base that can't make up it's mind whether they want to be winners or lovers.  Y'all say ya want to be winners, but ya don't act like it.  Beening a fan since before the first game every played by the Panther, I know this fan base lobes us being then underdog.  "We play better as the underdog." Which in of itself is a loser mentality.  No competitor ever wants to constantly be considered the underdog.  Just ask Steve Smith.  This season, this team is literally the ultimate underdog.  Let by a QB that fits the underdog role PERFECTLY.   This fan base should be going hog wild about being an underdog in EVERY GAME we're scheduled to play this season.  Yet, they have already labeled this seasonnas another lost season.  Which it.may end up being, but who the fug really wants that? Seriously???  I personally, want to see our team thrive. I want them to take it to the NFL. I want to see these guys, Bryce included, to step up and show the NFL that not only do they belong,  but they're bringing the fight to the other teams.   Enough of this lover mentality.    Enough with crying over not having the QB we all wish we had (whomever that may be).
