How many Games did Kenny play last year. He might not be eligible ether.

Good point. I didn't think about that. To be honest I don't know anything about Eric. I don't even know who he is. With the Wright update Kenny might make the roster.

I don't see why we won't keep Moore regardless... I see the DE's as:

Brayton

CJ

EB

Hardy

Moore

But, I'm not looking at what that does across the board, b/c we already know we're going into the season with at least 4 HBs which is taking a spot from another position (which I don't mind at all with the guys we have there lol).

So 5 DEs could limit us somewhere else.

I think the reason some of us (me included) are counting Eric out is because of Norwood.

Good point! Why I was actually counting him in though was because of the opposite, lol - CJ and Brayton can move inside to DT when needed, which could result in carrying less DTs on the roster and opening a spot up for Moore.

Also, to your point, I hadn't seen anyone else mention it yet, but we actually had Norwood playing the whole end of the 4th Qtr at DE, may have been the entire qtr, but I wouldn't know b/c I kept dozing off lol.

I just think E. Moore has done too much to let him go. Yeah, he's a little older, but he's a natural pass rusher and he gets to where he's going with immediacy lol.

But they could list Norwood as LB, of course. Who knows? :P

I didn't even notice Norwood playing; shows you how much I was into it after the starters came out.

Norwood is an LB right? Or is he as DE... Same goes for Edwards cause he came in as a QB so do we have 4 QBs or 3 QBs and a WR...

I was actually about to make a joke about the same thing. ;)

This is a definite advantage depending on how things shake out... I wanted to see what Pike could do, but idk what's going on there, but I'm guessing he won't be here after final cuts. Hard to tell if he's not playing b/c we're hoping he'll make through waiver claims or whatever, or b/c we have no plans for him at all.

Anyway, if he's not here... We could end up keeping just MM and Clausen, leave AE at WR and designate him as the emergency QB which opens another roster spot.

Odds are Todd Carter isn't going to make it... Another roster spot.

If Wallace Wright is healthy, he's also a ST gunner, which opens another roster spot we usually leave for a 4th string scrub who never sees the field outside of ST.

Hudson and Pugh both can play S and CB. Norwood DE/LB. CJ and Brayton can play both outside and inside. Goodson can play HB and WR. Sutton HB/FB/ST - Returner in a pinch and coverage units.

I think we have a lot of versatility compared to years past which could help us keep a lot of our 'camp favorites.'

Edwards came in as a WR, let's not think they considered him for QB.

We carried five DE's last season and I think we'll do the same thus season with Moore replacing Hilee Taylor.

Proudiddy- Carter will definately make the roster, no question about it IMO.

Was he drafted as a WR though? Or was it a QB? Cause the same goes for Norwood.He was a LB drafted to play DE or Jack LB at the most. No one is expecting him to run with TEs. Well I hope they are not.

At first I wasn't sure about that, but his last few kicks last night were fantastic. He came to the sidelines and Fox was jumping up and down for him. I consider that a lock.

As for WRs, I think Wright will be IR'd. He might not be *really* hurt, but it goes with the Panthers philosophy of stashing players on IR.

As for keeping guys (like Guy) for their ST ability, Witherspoon's CB ability and the "out of bounds" PR, gave him a spot on the roster (as he was expected to have) and may have us a little less concerned about the PR spot --- especially with Captain back there.

      That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      The Saints being that high is the one that killed me. Chris Olave might not know his name at this point, Shaheed is coming off injury as well, so 31 year old Brandin Cooks might be your best WR...coming off a 260 yard season over 10 games. Kamara is Kamara, but didn't have 1,000 yards last year and is about to turn 30.  Toss in the fact that Taysom Hill may be the best QB on the team and I truly don't understand Barnwell's thoughts beside seeing the names "Olave" and "Kamara" and going yep, that sounds better than "Chuba" and "Thielen".

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By TD alt · Posted

      Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.
