Many of you think the Carolina Huddle is a place to attack other's opinions without fear of the bodily harm that would come to you if your words were delivered personally. This thread presents an interesting challenge.

See if you have the mental capacity to function with a few variables/conditions thrown in.

3 Rules

1. You must only comment on players who are not your first choice for the Panthers to draft;

2. You must only provide positive reasons the player would be good for the team without comments that can be construed as negative.

3. You may add to other posts but you may not attack or question them.

I think some of you will struggle with this. I will start.

DE DaQuan Bowers: Bowers would give the Panthers two DEs who can both shut down the run and pressure the passer. In a 4-3, the DE position is critical. Size, athleticism, and speed are critical and hard to find. Before, we had to play Brayton to stop the run and insert Brown/Hardy to stop the pass. The problem? They passed when Brayton was on the field or ran away from him; he had 16 tackles and no sacks in 15 games. They ran under Hardy and Brown. We cannot assume that Hardy and Brown will ever be more than situational pass rushers until they show us differently. Bowers is a 280 lb DE who led the NCAA in sacks. He can bull rush, swim, squeeze down the run and turn on a dime on the edge. DT is a huge need, but the draft is deep there. Free agents are available. Nobody is going to let an athletic DE like Bowers get away. Draft him first overall.

(I am a Green supporter, followed by Fairley. However, as I wrote, I started convincing myself Bowers would be a good pick. I had to open my mind. Yes. Open it by considering another perspective. It is what intellectuals do. )

Drafting Fairley or Newton would guarantee us picking first in 2012

Nice try. If I replied, "I knew I should have posted this before middle school let out for the day," that would be sarcastic and could be perceived as negative. So, I will not state that in response to your post or any others. Thank you for your contribution during the Power Rangers Power Hour.

Drafting Patrick Peterson would give us a Revis type corner that we can shut down half of the field with. He also excels in the return game and he would be a guy that would be a threat to take a punt or kick to the house at any moment. He's a big physical corner who's not afraid to jam a receiver at the LOS and he has the kind of confidence and swagger that a shut down corner needs. He also has shown he has a short memory in the few times he's been beat deep. When he gives up a play he turns around and makes one.....

And last year teams avoided Gamble, so I can only assume it would make life dificult for the stellar QBs in the NFC South.

Exactly, a starting CB duo of Peterson and Gamble with Munnerlyn as the nickel would be dangerous for opposing QBs. All three of those guys know how to get to the ball and make a play on it....

No one wants to play devil's advocate with you dumbsh*t

Socrates was a moron and so are you for thinking this was going to enlighten anyone

anyone? yes. Everyone? no. If you think Socrates was a moron, I suppose this won't help you. Aside from trying to derail this thread, is there a purpose here? If not, may I suggest another thread dedicated to assholes? Glad I could help.

      Games been a snooze fest of sloppy play

      The Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye 2025 Carolina Panthers 53-gayman roster prediction spectacular

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      ESPN's David Newton: QUARTERBACKS (2): Bryce Young, Andy Dalton A preseason muscle injury to Dalton's right arm could force the Panthers to keep Jack Plummer if the issue gets worse, but that currently doesn't seem to be a concern. For the first time since going No. 1 in 2023, there is no question that Young is the starter after winning two of his final three games last season with 10 touchdowns (7 passing, 3 rushing) and no turnovers. RUNNING BACKS (3): Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle, Trevor Etienne Selecting Etienne in the fourth round out of Georgia makes veteran Raheem Blackshear a likely cut. Etienne has shown in the preseason that he is a capable option as a runner, in addition to being a returner, which has been Blackshear's primary responsibility since 2022. WIDE RECEIVERS (7): Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen, Jalen Coker, Jimmy Horn Jr., David Moore, Hunter Renfrow This is the most improved group on the team, so keeping seven initially makes sense. If the Panthers go with six it could make coach Dave Canales' favorite, Moore, expendable with Renfrow showing he's close to the level he played in 2021 when he made the Pro Bowl with the Las Vegas Raiders. Brycen Tremayne, who's had an excellent preseason, will be a tough cut. TIGHT ENDS (3): Tommy Tremble, Ja'Tavion Sanders, Mitchell Evans There is anticipation Tremble (back surgery) will be ready for the regular season after coming off the PUP list before the preseason finale, though he could still miss a game or two. Keeping him on the 53-man roster makes sense so she doesn't have to miss the first four games. OFFENSIVE LINEMEN (10): T Ikem Ekwonu, G Damien Lewis, G Robert Hunt, C Austin Corbett, C Cade Mays, T Taylor Moton, T Yosh Nijman, T-G Brady Christensen, G Chandler Zavala, G Jarrett Kingston Injuries to guards Lewis (strained shoulder) and Zavala (knee) plays a factor in keeping 10 instead of the nine predicted going into camp. The starting five returning from 2024 had a solid preseason, but the lackluster play of backups showed depth remains a concern. DEFENSIVE LINEMEN (6): DE Derrick Brown, NT Bobby Brown III, DE Tershawn Wharton, DE A'Shawn Robinson, NT Cam Jackson , DE Jaden Crumedy A shoulder injury that has kept fifth-round pick Jackson from making an impact means Crumedy could make it here. The biggest cut will be Shy Tuttle, who has 32 starts the past two years but little to show for it. Moving on from him will create $2.4 million in cap space that can be used elsewhere. LINEBACKERS (10): OLB D.J. Wonnum, OLB Patrick Jones II, OLB Princely Umanmielen, OLB Nic Scourton, OLB Thomas Incoom, ILB Christian Rozeboom, ILB Trevin Wallace, ILB Claudin Cherelus, ILB Jon Rhattigan, ILB Jacoby Windmon The release of ILB Josey Jewell (concussion protocol) at the start of camp required immediate attention, but Rozeboom has stepped up well. Depth remains a big question, particularly inside. Moving on from draft pick Bam Martin-Scott means he'll likely end up on the practice squad. It was time to move on from OLB DJ Johnson. Look for turnover beyond the starters here. CORNERBACKS (5): Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson, Chau Smith-Wade, Shemar Bartholomew, Corey ThorntonJackson has played well enough at times to ease the concern opposite Pro Bowler Horn. Thorton's play during camp has been a big surprise, but the overall depth of this group means there likely will be turnover. SAFETIES (4): Tre'von Moehrig, Nick Scott, Demani Richardson, Lathan Ransom The big question is how long it will take fourth-round pick Ransom to replace Scott as the starter opposite Moehrig. Also, don't rule out another experienced player being signed. SPECIALISTS (3): K Ryan Fitzgerald, P Sam Martin, LS JJ Jansen Big-legged undrafted free agent Fitzgerald out of Florida State may have solidified his spot over Matthew Wright with a 52-yard field goal in the second preseason game against the Texans. The other two spots are solid, but Carolina likely will keep an eye out for dependable veterans who end up being released.
