Darkhorse breakout player

While we are waiting on training camp, I am curious to hear what your thoughts are on who will be a darkhorse breakout player... 

On offense, I think Ihmir-Smith Marsette will be a secret weapon for us. I just think he needs some playing time this coming season He definitely is shifty and can get that YAC.

Defensively, I am going with DJ Johnson. This dude is quick and just needed to time to adjust to the system but I have a feeling he will be good.

You can’t go with a WR and ignore the QB but really, do people see anyone breaking out there? Maybe Brooks if the OL gels and he is healthy. 

 I’m just going with Corbett. He does the job. Problem solved. If the O works it is because the OL works. If this OL works, he is doing better than anyone here thought.

Defensively, Josey Jewell. He takes a little bit of the sting off losing Luvu(definitely not saying he will be as good because I don't believe that) and plays very well this season.

I don’t know, Jewell might be better than Luvu in Evero’s system. He was a 100 plus tackler a season. Luvu is better at pass rushing but I feel like he was playing out of position last year. Plus Luvu was a bit of a liability in coverage.

I hope so. Luvu was a thumper, that's for sure.

If he doesn't do well, we spent all that money on OL for literally nothing. He is one of the most critical elements of this offensive overhaul. If he gets injured or he doesn't pan out, you can go ahead and bank on the season being a mess.

    • Who is "they"?  Who in the media still argues that Bryce Young could reach the levels that people thought he would before the draft? I mean, nobody is going to come outright and bash the kid.  By all accounts he's a good dude and I think that is why you don't see the media come after him like they did Zach Wilson.
    • It started during the Denver game after that first drive. i don’t think the panthers got a first down again until the fourth quarter. 
    • The Panthers will finish with at least 7-8 wins.  So that leaves them with only two "smart" choices in my opinion: 1. Sign a reasonably priced free agent QB and see if they are better than Bryce Young in training camp - The issue is there will be very little options.  There is almost no way the Colts let Daniel Jones walk.  Rodgers, Flacco, and Wilson will likely retire (and is Wilson better than Bryce anyway?).  Winston is under contract with the Giants for another year.  That leaves Mariota, which I'm all for, but the Commanders will make a big push to keep him given Daniels' injury history.  Outside of him, there is literally nobody else. 2. Stick with Bryce Young for one more year - Nobody wants this to happen, but the Panthers won't be in a position to draft one in the first round and it isn't a strong class to begin with.  Mendoza, Simpson (and do we really want an Alabama QB?), and Moore will likely all be off the board by the time we pick.  Bryce isn't good, but we are still 5-4.  I'd rather continue to build the rest of the team than reach for a QB.  Then we could set ourselves up nicely in 2027 to make a splash play if we choose.  This is how we should have approached years past; stuck with Kyle Allen or Sam Darnold or Teddy Bridgewater and kept building the team until we were ready to make a splash.  But every year we panicked and did something stupid. There is the idea you could throw a dart at a guy in the later arounds, but IMO this just isn't a good QB class and odds are it will be a wasted pick.  I still think we need a lot of depth on the defense.  I'd rather focus there.
