Shockey with a concussion. This is big IMO ( at least looking at the game Sun). The 2 TE sets are huge for Cam. In addition to being saftey valves they play huge factors in the coverage Smitty gets.

Just seems like these guys can't catch a break.

Shockey getting hurt was just a matter of time.

Not as worried about it with Olsen as his backup. I know Hartsock isn't much of a pass threat though.

If they bench Legapoo and put in LaFell as our #2 WR, we will still have a good assortment of passing weapons.

And Shockey might get cleared by Sunday.

Conspiracy spin: This is a precaution to protect him from an NFL fine after yesterday's tweets and he's really fine, lol.

And if it's serious, Brockel looked pretty good in the times I saw him in PS. I'd like to see how he does if given the chance as the #2TE if Shockey is injured.

I'm certainly hoping Shock is ready to go come game time though!

I wouldn't be too awful worried with Olsen as the backup. Hope Hartsock can at least block

but again, it is about the 2 TE sets. Carolina can't run the same ones they have been relying on w/ 1 pass catching TE and a blocker.

Didn't consider Olsen the #2. They were both #1's and now we are down a player.

If they can limit the impact of a bullet, I know they limit the impact for your head

Different applications. And I'm not personally convinced that's concussions are a bigger problem now than before, just better recognized and responded to... or at least not patently ignored.

      You're assuming just as well.   Morgan and Canales were hired 3 days apart.  I believe it was partially due to their connections in Seattle.  i believe Tepper wanted some familiarity with his GM and HC.  It is so easy to sit back and arm-chair QB over draft picks.  You don't know what the philosophy was going into the 2024 draft.  I believe Canales and Morgan were drafting for the future.  XL and Brooks point to that philosophy. Name me one GM that is 100% on draft picks.  Just one.  You're not going to find one.    I think year one picks weren't for what can you do for me now but Potential.   XL hasn't lived up to the hype of a 1st rounder.  I think we all can agree on that. However, there still is hope he comes around.  What I believe they saw in him was his speed after the catch.  He needs to get more consistent but when he gets the ball you kind of hold your breath just a second because if he gets free, he's gone.  The Brooks pick was a signing for the future, and no one could have guessed he would re-injure the same ACL.  This makes the pick look bad but Dallas was ready to draft him later that same round.  IMO we'll have to see what happens next season before we can call this a bust. Wallace has improved each season and for a third rounder has done well.  Sanders has shown flashes and considering the pick in the 4th round it wasn't a bad pick.  His sophomore season IMO was a little bit more productive.  Smith-Wade has been a good addition and has played well.  For a 5th round pick to get as much playing time as he has.  Most picks below round 3 should take a couple of years to get up to speed.  He's been a decent player.  Crumedy, no comment We turned Barrett into Jackson.  This was an amazing move and basically got a starting CB for a 7th round pick.  Pretty shrewd if you ask me. Coker, maybe the best Free Agent signing of the 2024 draft class. So, in short, you can't say that the draft was a bust.  It isn't a home run but all but one are still on the team and outside of Brooks have made contributions to wins.  2025 draft class has been much better with almost every pick making contributions this season.  Now take Fitterer's two years and compare them to Morgan and tell me that they have the same philosophy.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      He hasn’t led crap, he’s on loaded teams and a piece of the puzzle. And he’s he has improved drastically but it took the ultimate QB whispers in Shanahan and KOC. You put him on this Panther team and he’s back to normal Darnold

      Slavin and Jarvis week to week. Florida cheap shots took out our two best players.  I’d start KK so he can beat the brakes off someone.
