No Roster

When you go to the Panthers site now, there is no longer a player roster.

There is a link to a depth chart, but it's empty.

Important? Not especially, but a sad indicator of the situation :(

:sad:

:mad2:

To hell with the NFLPA. Man I hope there is a sensible Judge in Minnesota who will get this crap resolved correctly.

duh, its probably illegal to represent them as an entity of the team now

I checked. Other team sites - and NFL.com - still have rosters up.

Didn't check everywhere mind you. Highly possible someone else has them down as well. Heck, it's possible the team is just restructuring the site.

I don't think so, though. I think it's deliberate (not malicious, just deliberate).

Right before the draft for the past couple of years the Panthers.com roster and depth chart has been cleared but it usually happens a couple weeks before the start of free agency. I'm not a web guy but I wonder if it is just easier to start over than to try and correct all the upcoming changes, or at least that's what I always thought.

But I agree with Mr Scot. Seems to be deliberately done with the lockout. Probably don't want to give any reason for a law suite for illegal use of apperance or something...

I've never seen the roster completely cleared. I've seen guys who were UFAs removed, but never saw the link taken down.

It's possible this may have nothing to do with the lockout. Suspiciously timed for that, though.

No, I've seen the entire roster cleared but like I said it was probably for only a couple of days if that. I think it was more to do with setting it up to do updates from FA and the draft than anything else.

But this is probably due to the fact that JR doesn't want to do anything that could seen as possible lawsuite.

Page is still there, but the link has been removed. Wonder if perhaps they are simply updating it?

http://www.panthers.com/team/roster.html

That occurred to me too, but honestly what's to update? Maybe a change of format or something, I suppose.

The timing makes me think it's lockout related, but it might not be. No other teams are doing this that I've seen, and the NFL still has rosters up. So who knows?

Gantt pointed out that while you can't click directly for details on the roster, you can still get to the page where you can buy their jerseys.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan

      Cowboys. Patriots. Couldn't ask for two bigger villains.

      I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
