Ravens safety out for year. Torn Achilles… Panthers may need to do something


Recommended Posts

I sorta hope we go with Moehrig and Ransom--veteran and rookie.  I also think they are somewhat high on Richardson.  We re-signed Scott to an minimal, non-guaranteed contract for insurance. We have 3 UDFA safeties on the roster.  I think THEY THINK we are set.

That probably makes the most sense at this stage of roster building.  I mean, don’t throw the kid out there if he isn’t ready, but if he shows ability then let him play.  The roster isn’t complete so there’s still time to take some chances.

Yep, I'm starting Ransom unless he struggles in camp.

We're not contending this year, don't spend any more cap space at this point unless we have to, roll the extra space over into next offseason at this point.

If he proves he can be a starter next to Moehrig, great, we just got a cheap starter for a few more seasons and can use the cap space at more impactful positions.  If he struggles, then we have our backup SS and we sign a new FS or use a earlier pick on one next summer.

We still need a proven commodity at FS in my opinion. Toss em a couple shekels and let's go 

I think--and this is wild speculation based on their comments and decisions--that a free safety type may not see the field unless they go dime.  At which time, I see how a FS could be very valuable.

The position that still bothers me is OT.  Moton's knee means BC or Nijman play RT. (Or Cade Mays--people don't realize this, but he played some T in college, is 6'5" and has over 34 inch arms. 

Ok, back to safety.  I think we are set until camp reveals more.

I think RT will be stronger than FS even if Moton goes down

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
