I know this is :beatdeadhorse5: but....

Lets lets look at it this way. We start out season we play it out where ever it may lead.. superbowl wink wink. Then comes the 2011 offseason and we truly just don't have football that year and beyond. It would be like the great depression of football. Teams would have no stars and not even a full roster for that matter if it goes on long enough.

but then bam here comes the panthers loaded with young players and tons of cash.

now thats a story full of win

of course all these moves are great for the long run. the problem is the fan base wants immediate success(can't really blame them for that.)

what those people don't understand is that even with all these cuts the team is still very talented and will be a competitor. every player they cut is/was expendable, and had a capable guy sitting in the background ready to take the reigns(with the exception of fullback, but it looks like they're trying to fix that.)

I think when the CBA is figured out and the lockout drama is finished, we'll be in better shape than the majority of the league.

People seem to underestimate the talent of the young players we currently have... I'm by no means convinced this is a throw away season... Our offense should be pretty dangerous... Defense is the question mark, but I think it'll surprise some... I don't believe we're finished filling out the roster either... No, I don't believe we'll bring in high priced FA's that have been cut, but I think we'll do fine...

And this time next year, when our young FA's are wanting a truckload of cash, everyone will be thankful we're able to keep them around with all that money we have under the cap...

I believe there is a method to the madness as well.

Like any gamble there is a high risk to reward ratio...if it works we may have exactly as you decribe. Overall, I think we are still in better shape than going into last year (except maybe DTs, DEs, & SS).

Summary of where we are as a team

OFFENSE: We have a much better QB situation than last year; RBs are awesome; WRs significantly better chance to be improved; TEs have developed a year; OL still solid (lacking depth tho)

DEFENSE: DTs unproven; DEs unproven; LBs likely better, even tho I liked Diggs; CBs more true depth (I feel Marshall will be with us); FS same; SS (not sure who this will be, but will likely be more athletic than Harris was & better in pass coverage)

SPECIAL TEAMS: Ryne Robinson vs. Armanti Edwards?! Nuff said. Plus we signed about 2 millions ST players at the end of last eseason & this off-season

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      This is always a non-story by the time camp begins.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      By TD alt · Posted

      I've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      overwhelming majority of kids in travel ball aren't getting scholarships though because most teams are rec caliber (and not watched by scouts)    and parents/leagues sort of helped create this system and narrative IMO where travel ball is now oversaturated and most of it is simply expensive rec ball.  is travel beneficial for some athletes to get more exposure? Sure. The ones travel actually existed for.   I still think travel has expanded entirely too broad at this stage......where they will now have 5 teams per year in your backyard area pending they can get parents to write those checks.   Ain't no scout ever laying eyes on 90%+ of the kids in travel ball at this stage of where it has morphed into.
