I Like Seeing All These New Guys Playing

Maybe at first but a couple years of it is a little much. Obvioulsy we were 'internally stalled'. I'd much rather see veterans making smart plays than watching potential every year. If you're always planning for the future you'll never win anything in the present.

Keiser will probably become a fan favorite very soon.. And i am honestly glad Fua will no longer be starting.. i hate he got hurt but i think at times he's played very soft. It will be really interesting to see who really steps up at DT.. Maybe this Shirley guy.. He is massive. And Senn has really impressed me also.. he plays much bigger than he is.

I like that they're getting meaningful snaps. I think that's a pretty key factor in their development. Regardless on opinions of what the team is capable of, they're not quite yet eliminated from the playoffs. There is also the potential of finishing 8-8, but even better: we can leave a few floaters in ATL, NO, and HOU cereal bowl.

That's assuming the defense can get it together and the offense can maintain momentum. I wouldn't bet on any of that, but it's nice that those possibilities give the players a little something extra to hustle for. A carrot on a stick if you will.

I've always thought that Neblett was a solid contributor (UDFA iirc) and Jordan Senn has as well. I think that Fua wasn't meant to start this season. He was drafted after McClain and would've been backing up Ron Edwards. From the scouting reports that I read on him, he's a very smart player but not exactly an elite athlete. I hope to see improvement next season when he's rotating in, as Rivera has said that he thinks players take about 3 years to develop. We'll see how he bulks up over the summer and whether or not he makes any improvements come preseason.

More Antwan Applewhite plz.

I love what Senn has done. Not because he is "the new guy", but because he has done what Jason Williams, Omar Gaither, Thomas Williams et al couldn't do, namely play his position with discipline and give us stability at OLB.

The emergence of Keiser as a solid situational player is encouraging.

Pilares is making the most of his opportunities.

I also believe LaFell is finally learning how to be a pro in this league.

Now if we could just get someone other than Gamble to step up in the secondary...

I see Hogan standing on the sideline. Wish he was ready this year

Yeah I would rather be winning with our starters but it is a good way to find young talent and get guys game experience.

I have to agree. The downside is that guys are inexperienced and make mistakes but the upside is that they get experience and will increase our depth next year when the starters get back if they don't take over as starters themselves.

I remember in 2004 we had the same kind of issue. Between finishing strong and having good rotations on both sides of the ball, it set us up for a very good 2005. I hope the same thing happens next year.

Keiser has made it to the field pretty fast and been in the right place at the right time over the past few games. Honestly I think the sacks and the pick he has gotten have all been more a result of Hardy/Johnson and the QB taking too long to get rid of the ball. But he isn't supposed to be a starter, so that's good to jumpstart a guy into a solid support role.

I don't care about other receivers outside of the starters. I'd keep Pilares around because of special teams and he has an interesting blend of speed and build that could be developed.

IM happy that we are getting people that would otherwise not play some playing time.

this way when our starters are healthy and if we sign some more in FA we can have some quality depth for a change.

Thats been our problem for years is quality depth.

We really need to make sure we get a number 2 corner, a starter quality DT and a Linebacker that can be regarded as a starter in this league.

Keep the people that have showed some potential as depth and I think we can build on that for the future.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By Basbear · Posted

      You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Basbear · Posted

      THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
