Austin Corbett Signs!

Austin Corbett was playing at an elite level and the Oline was a top 5 unit with him out there.

He also has been an iron man in terms of playing before these last 2 injuries.

I think people need to see the numbers before they freak out.

Does anyone really want to not have a good Oline again next year?

I genuinely don't understand the hate for this move

He played 5 games last season and 4 the year before, if he cant suit up why pay him at all, dude has played 9 out of 34 games since signing here. 

I dont care how healthy he was for another team, the fact is he has not been healthy at all for our team.

Corbett torn rotator cuff lifting pen from paper - out for the season

In all seriousness, I hope the numbers makes sense for a guy that only played a handful of games for us so far. Also, please draft a center this draft. This position was in such a precarious position last offseason and in typical Panthers fashion, it blew up in our faces.

Your math is not mathing. 

He signed in 22 and started every game that year.

Panthers love his leadership and he's a pretty good center.  Yes, the money matters.  He wants to starts.  Loves his teammates.  Not a lot out there and no a lot of options in the draft.

Love it, all thing considered.

There's basically a 0% chance he's healthy all year, so I don't see how this changes anything or helps.

He's a pro bowl guard, too. So if Mays beats him out, then we got a good vet that can cover all 3 middle oline positions. For one year, i'd take that.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.

      I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
