Charles Davis mentioned Jake Long as an omission, and Jamie Dukes mentioned Donald Penn of the Bucs.

Jake Long is extremely overrated. Far from a "huge omission".

What is a huge omission, however, is Michael Roos. Seriously, if Dukes actually believes that Penn > Roos, then he is a bigger idiot than I initially thought.

I would think the front office would not like folks to make a top 5 list particuarly someone like Beason who will be up for a contract renewal. Guys in the top 15 at their position are not that worse than those in the top 5. But those guys who are acknowledged as the best at their position want huge money.

I would rather not have guys make the list uless they have long term contracts already in place. Otherwise the likelihood we can keep them without paying a lot or franchising them goes way down. We want guys who overachieve but do so under the radar like Gross for years, and Wharton currently.

well it's different for every position but there are certain tiers of players even in the top 15. I think Ryans, Beason, and Willis are all on a different level than most MLB's. Other positions might have a top tier of 5 or more. While other positiions may just have 1 premier player.

I don't know that Ryans, Willis and Beason are on a plane by themselves.

There are those who don't think Beason is even the best MLB in the division. Many folks consider Ruud as the best middle linebacker in the division. He had 142 tackles versus Beason's 141.

Just sayin.............................

theres more to being the best MLB in the league, let alone the division than making tackles

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      Same I think Randsom is a baller..... hopefully we don't have to suffer through 4-8 games of Scott blowing azz to get him on the feild.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
