Interesting email this morning....

Nothing ground breaking, but got an email from an anonymous person inside the front office, same guy that sends me a media guide every year.

Anyways, apparently the cats are indeed watching the waiver wire very carefully for a WR. He says there are a three guys out there that may get practice squaded, and if so, the Panthers are ready to sign to the active roster from their PS.

Anyways, moral of the story, even after our cuts have been made and our own PS is in place, it ain't over. Quite possible to see a new WR on our roster and DJ out of a job.

Take with grain of salt... or not.

Kiss my arse.

Love,

Zod

Zod, I've said several times since the game Saturday how I think WR will break down:

IN:

Smitty, obviously

LaFell

Edwards

Guy

Gettis

Tweeners/Out:

Jarrett

Moore

Martin

Now, I think Guy is more in the Tweener category b/c of the injuries... Now you get this news... How do you think it's gonna break down with the guys we have as of right now?

I'd also like to point out that I find it a bit pathetic that we are waiting to go after a PS guy to sign him to our active roster so he can actually be our 2nd-4th WR...

Guys I would actually be excited about:

Any of the guys from the Bengals - ESPECIALLY - Jerome Simpson, he has looked GREAT everytime I've watched him this preseason and actually against 1st stringers. Also, Shipley, M. Jones, and Caldwell. Any of those guys could help us exponentially.

Several of the lower end guys from Jax:

Tiquan Underwood, Dillard, etc.

Vikings:

M. Mitchell

And again, I don't know why we don't bring Kevin Curtis in for the Vet. Min.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head for now...

I don't want a preseason wonder or young body. If Carolina is going to bring in a guy they need a proven NFL player. One we know can play at the NFL level and learn the system quick.

also one that can work in our 2 WR sets and can get his seperation in that type system.

    • I'm not saying it shouldn't be a part of his game it should be present yes. But expecting 500/10 in the rushing category is not sustainable IMO. All it's going to take is a defender to be willing to sacrifice a penalty or a fine to send a message just as the Falcons did with Sam Darnold. And even as big and durable as Cam was defenses eventually started to try to send a message to him too. We have to be realistic about not putting our QB at unnecessary risk. Especially given the fact we aren't even willing to run a QB sneak with him. We've also invested a good bit in our backfield that's what they're there for. And furthermore ultimately whatever QB  tier Bryce Young ends up landing in over the course of his career it is going to be defined by what he does as a passer not his rushing ability. That's all I'm saying.
    • Bryce had 191 yards 55% completion 1 td 1 pick.  That's an amazing performance?   Come on people
    • His footwork has been discussed many times over related to not just within the pocket but the quality of his drop backs and how while his receivers have been an issue his own footwork has created issues with his receivers. It is a mutual give and take dynamic after all. As far as his deep passing goes I will happily admit I saw some very impressive long throws from Bryce later in the season and I said so at the time and I'm still saying so now. That doesn't mean that there still aren't issues and beyond some instances of him flat out missing receivers deep that he knows he needs to get corrected I think there are still some throws to the sideline that defenses are going to test Bryce on early and often and until he can prove he can beat defenses on those throws consistently they will play him the same way. As far as talk of Bryce being top ten and the metrics that define that different people are going to have different answers and I've said before after the conclusion of the 2024 season that I'm going to try to put yardage aside in some cases and just focus on what Bryce is doing both between the 20's moving the ball and how our redzone scoring percentage is looking. The biggest thing I'm looking for this season is scoring points. Not just field goals. Touchdowns. If the offense is moving consistently and reaching the end zone more often than not and not squandering drives and settling for field goals then I am going to be content for the time being. I do not expect miracles this season. I expect development and competiveness on both sides of the ball but particularly the offensive given the investments we've made trending upward. And no blowout losses. I don't think that's an unreasonable ask do you agree? 🫡
