Panthers signed RB DeCori Birmingham, WR Kevin McMahon, T Jonathan Palmer, DE Casper Brinkley, DT Lorenzo Williams, S Joe Fields, LB Jeremy Leman, and DT Patrick McDonald to reserve/futures contracts.

Birmingham spent the 2008 season on the Panthers practice squad. He's not going to see time at running back, but kick returning could be in his future.

Jones IMO has earned his spot as a returner. He's not super fast but he finds holes and got us a lot of decent returns this year (and more importantly mistake free).

Definitely. It’s just frustrating to see him bust a beat just about everyone on the field only to be taken down by the kicker.

But I think he’ll progress even further, and I’d take good, consistent field position over the rare return for a touchdown any day. Still, I hope he gets a little faster over the offseason.

During that last game, I found myself thinking - if that was Steve Smith, those 2 good returns would have been touchdowns. Steve's got that turbo button that he pushes and no one can catch him. Mark Jones does not have a turbo button. I still like him back there though.

I agree. I dont have any complaints about Jones really, he did better than I expected honestly. Smitty and Deangelo need to show him how to stiff arm a mother f*cker though.

I think he has earned the right to compete for the position again, Robinson brings more as a return man and as a receiver. Roster spots are valuable.

Goings should be gone this season and Birmingham should be our third running back. I'm pleased with how Mark Jones has handle returns, but wouldn't mind seeing Birmingham get a shot at it.

I'm also somewhat excited about Casper Brinkley.

The law of Fox loyalty prohibits the team from cutting Goings.

I think he has to suck 1 more year, than it becomes possible.

      So where can I find out tailgating parking spots for the season?

      By Panthercougar68 · Posted

      As the demand for apartments grows parking is becoming limited and it’s sad. I use to tailgate but I just park at uncc deck now and train in and head to rhino market. My tailgate grill hates me.

      ESPN's All Quarter Century Team 2000-2025

      It simply depends on perspective. CMC, when healthy and on the field, has a higher YPC and YPR than LT. Yes, he's been injury prone, but this is simply a "all quarter-century team." There are certainly different stats and different lists. If this were a list or about a team simply based on longevity, then of course LT wins that every time, but some lists are more subjective and nuanced depending upon what they are, and it's not necessarily a reflection upon a person's ability to analyze sports.

      From my what I have seen the overwhelming majority of people who are considering the notion a possibility don't really want to see it happen but are considering so for a number of reasons. Most importantly availability. Secondly even when he plays the last few seasons he has been red hot or ice cold. Then there is the subject of his defense which to say the least leaves a lot to be desired. Then there is the image of Ball inactive laughing it up on the sideline (while our team was getting the doors blown off) with previous busts who are now relegated to hanging on by a thread in the g league. I think we should be able to recognize with the team going out of their way to put a very strong emphasis on culture and leadership with the conclusion of this years draft that they expect LaMelo to lead the way this upcoming season and that begins with making significant strides and trending in a positive direction in the aforementioned aspects above. It just has to happen.
