Whether a surprise cut or retirement, Thielen will not be on this roster this time next season. I doubt Moore is much value to keep around long-term and there's a big question mark if Renfrow can even stay healthy. Right there, that's three spots that will be vacated in the foreseeable future. I want both Coker and XL to do well because then if TMac lives up to his potential, the answer to those holes are already on the roster. In my eyes, a TMac/XL/Coker corps is the real goal here. Exactly who is the best among those three we can debate ad nauseum as long as they all produce enough for this offense to work.

Thats what I'm saying. Why TF would Coker be on the bubble when he's outplayed XL in every way possible? I wouldn't even bat an eye if Coker stole the majority of XL's reps. 

It was a stupid question, for sure.  TMac/Coker/AT/Renfrow/XL--probably in that order.

XL's first four years in college before his break out 5th year season.

I would have taken him in the second round,, but trading into the first to take him looks to be a dumb move at this point. 

Nearly 500 of his 1200 yards in his final year came versus Vanderbilt, Furman and Jacksonville State.  Breaking it down even further, in those games he had one or more splash plays for HUGE yardage.  Point being, he's flash over substance and in the NFL he's not running away from DBs regularly for these massive break away plays.

If I am not mistaken, Ladd McK was available, and that is who I wanted.  Now, had we done that, Coker would be the #2 behind TMac right now and we'd have AT/Renfrow/Ladd at the same spot, but it might be better considering bryce is the QB.  Not giving up on XL, but yes, those one hit wonders are not worth first round picks.   That pick, followed by an injured RB (Brooks) was very desperate or too cute.  Morgan seems to have settled down.

Problem with that draft is we were sort of fast tracked to move on from BY IMO and XL was the closest things to a traditional Canales WR.  I only wanted XL under that context.  He and BY didn’t pair up.  Ladd was the ideal BY WR IMO.  Then BY did what no one expected.  Including Carolina IMO

XL is not polished enough for how BY plays.  But you could use him in an aggressive downfield chuck it up scheme

Most of us wanted McConkey.  Turns out most of us were right (again).  He was still available and we could have drafted him right in front of the Chargers at #33 had Dan not panicked.

XL was always fools gold. Give me hands and hunger over upside and overdraft every day at WR. The trade just made it comical in my eyes.

Whatever, Coker saved them last year and they need to lean on him again this year. XL has shown jackall to earn a starting spot at this point. Hell, maybe it would light a fire under his butt to improve if, when really, Coker takes his reps and jumps him on the depth chart this year.

This XL slander is out of bounds. He has more upside than any receiver on this roster.

I can't say that with T-Mac on the roster. Tetairoa has unicorn upside in my opinion. 

I do agree about XL. People are jumping the gun to a fault (and faults lead to a DQ).

TMac/XL/Coker is definitely the goal IMO. Right now, the biggest question mark on that equation seems like XL.

Oh good grief. Stop it. I get it if you're a Gamecocks fan but notice how you're on an island here? There are undoubtedly plenty of Gamecocks fans here but they ain't walking the plank with you on this one.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks are Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team) seem to be locks. Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?

      I had this discussion with my buddy yesterday afternoon. If we start this season very slow(especially with the schedule being what it is) and then "rally" in the second half to get to 4-7 wins, I am already gonna be pretty heated at the staff overall. I know we are a very bad roster but I am not gonna keep excusing these slow season starts WITH late season rallies. That's a coaching staff problem, IMO. It's more excusable to just stink gate to gate, IMO. At least you can understand why.
