You would think one of those RB will make the team. Josh Vaughan is a special teams guy only and certainly upgradeable.

not necessarily. We may see some guy better out there that a team releases after preseason that we decide to go get and lose these guys. I'm excited about that Princeton guy. 5'7 with 4.3 speed. From the youtube videos he definitely seems like that Darren Sproles type. Doesn't mean he will be as good.

All these guys suck, end of discussion.

Some comments like these piss me off. These kids have been given a shot. Their parents are proud of them right now and they are excited to get a chance. Just to write them off and say they suck before they even step foot on the field makes you look ridiculous and demeans each kid. Right now they are Panthers.

Undrafted gems are found every single year. Every. Single. One. Let these guys go out there and give it what they have got. Form your opinions about them later. The competition of the underdogs fighting relentlessly to beat the odds are what makes teams better. Rivera preaches competition. The fans need to embrace it too, no matter how much each player we bring in appears to "suck".

That's great that it pisses you off and good for them that they have been given "a shot." However, this is a business first, and a sport second. If you don't get drafted, you instantly have a slimmer chance of making the roster than the players that were drafted. These "undrafted gems" you speak of don't show up very often and for every "undrafted gem" you can mention, I can mention a first round player that is considered to be one of the best in the game. The fact is most of these undrafted guys if any of them won't even see the third week of the preseason. No need to get offended, they are getting there chance and I'm sure they will make the most of it but don't expect them to go out there and make the team.

If you want to speak on "business", you should know a businessman leaves no stone unturned when looking to make a profit. Not saying they will make the team, but we had 3 of our UFA make it last year and helped this team in some way. It's possible it will happen again.

Also teams look for a chance to sign the cheaper guy to do the same job equally, if not better than the guy making more money that he's competing with. That would be the business aspect.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
