Enough of this recycled Cam talk

New topic! So every year there are normally a few mild surprises (like a Chris Harris being traded, Delhomme being cut after getting paid, Pep walking free, etc.). I assume this year we are instore for at least one mild shock and the fact we have a completely new staff might up the degree of how big one might be this year. What roster move do you think could shock Panther nation this year.

My initial guess was Kasay being cut but that might almost make too much sense if it is all thought out.

I am going with a big shocker! say goodbye to Mr. Thomas Davis.

What say you?

I do not think he will get any love in free agency. I was somewhat impressed with Jason Williams in the short time he was here (Dallas cut him)-he seemed better in the 4-3.

Anderson can play WLB as well, since I think Norwood and possibly Connor will play the SLB (just a hunch). TD will be given a contract offer (one laden with incentives) and if he can go, he has a job, IMO.

I think Kasay could be gone, but then there is the 35 yard line KO rule, one that might make him perfect now.

If there is a shocker it might involve DW. It just doesn't make sense to have more starting-qaulity RBs than you do defensive linemen.

If they are trying to convince Smitty to come back (which they appear to be with some of the coaching hires) then Kasay isn't going anywhere, he and Smitty are BFF's.

We've put tenders on DeAngelo and CJ, but we're not sure if those will be valid in the next CBA so I think we may end up losing one of these guys and I hate to say it but it will probably be DeAngelo.

Rivera mentioned Davis repeatedly in that conference call. I think we keep him.

Anderson could pull a Witherspoon which I would not like. More because of his attitude rather than his talent. I think he could be a great leader and vet presence which we need SOOO bad.

maybe, but again this is suppose to be a surprise and not something you see coming..

He has played in 7 of the last 32 games. Back to back ACL injuries and is talking about wanting to test the market......I mean, Bob Sanders is a freaking beast as well when on the field. Sanders played in 3 of the last 32 and just got sent packing.

Do we really think TD is going to hold up? Or do you move on and find you a LB you think will be more dependable.....TD is a beast but if someone wants to give him some money.....would it be wise for Carolina to out bid?

Anderson was in Fox's dumphouse most of those years, often didnt even get to dress for games. He wasnt regarded very highly amongst many huddlers(some suggested brown would be better at LB), but I am happy he had a chance to prove his worth. I am pretty sure we will try our best to keep him.

My surprise would be getting rid of Smith, although it has been suggested already so may not shock many of us.

Hurney and JR have both publicly said that they intend to re-sign TD to a long-term deal as soon as a new CBA is in place. I think it would take something major for them to reverse course on that, especially since he will come pretty cheap. If I had to guess, it'd either be a Smitty trade, or Baker getting the axe.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      So answer the question. Why did Chark and Hurst have the same metrics (go look them up, I did... and one was actually worse in LA) with Justin Herbert? Why did Mingo have the same metrics with Dak? You're right, there is a common denominator, just not the one you're trying to make.  Why could DJ Moore get open with Bridgewater, Allen, Cam 2.0, Darnold, Baker, Williams, Bagent? I'll answer the question for you - because he is a good WR unlike Chark/Hurst/Mingo.

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.
