Most important 4th preseason game in memory....

For the life of me I can't remember a more interesting or important 4th preseason game for the Panthers. Typically the cuts are already decided before the game, but I don't think so this year. Espescially at WR, I think a great performance tonight could take an individual off the cut list and back on the keep list.

If the WR's are dogging it tonight like last week, they all should be cut. It could not be more clear that they should be showing their best out there.

Well spoken. I see some intense competition at CB as well. CJ Wilson, McClain, Witherspoon, Stanford. Don't know why we'd keep 5 (suggested by Gantt) since Pugh can play CB as well. If not, we might see McClain step into the 4th CB role.

Back to WR: I don't know how you evaluate Charly Martin in comparison to those who have had the entire camp to show progress, but regardless of what happens tonight, I expect a lot of 2-TE sets with Barnidge and Rosario for a while.

It is going to be a big game and a make or break one for a number of players. I know that's a cliche that every sportscaster trots out, but it really has the feel of it this time. Tonight's show is pretty much the WR corps, special teams and the right side of our O-line.

Whoever remains among the WRs after tonight should see a better chance to be open and catch some balls as Smitty comes back for the regular season. They just can't afford to think that way tonight. We need someone to realize that this is their shot at stardom and really push themselves to the next level.

Fox is praying deep down that his starters score an offensive touchdown so he can declare mission accomplished and pull them out. Otherwise, I expect them in there longer than most other teams.

I don't know, isn't Dallas talking about keeping their starters in the whole first half?

They suck worse than we do yet most the power rankings have them in the top 5???

LMAO...they suck!!!

P.S. Hope my better half doesn't read this

On topic, I think you're right Zod, time for someone to step up!

The important thing is, are the WRs awful because of their lack of talent/skill/motivation/etc. or is it QB play as well? I think Moore should stick around for at least the 1st quarter, maybe even till half. If he can't sustain one drive for a TD then Clausen deserves time to see what he can do with the same WRs and Oline

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By frankw · Posted

      I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
