Top 10 Players We Can't Afford To Lose To Injury Next Year.

Cam. We all know why

Kalil. Crucial to cam's development, and one of the best in the NFL.

CJ. He silently carries the D line, and think about all that $.

Gamble. Snubbed out of the pro bowl last year, shutdown corner in a pass happy league.

Beaston. Saw the effect of that last season. No thank you.

Theirs my five. "Chud" would be the worst non player.

Rank the top 10 players we can not afford to lose to injury next year if we want to have the best record possible.My list is based off a combination of what each player brings to the table and the depth behind them.

1. Cam Newton

2. Jordan Gross

3. Chris Gamble

4. Steve Smith

5. Charles Johnson

6. Ryan Kalil

7. Jon Beason

8. Greg Olsen

9. Brandon Lafell

10. Luke Keuchly

Some quick notes on my justification for this list

Outside of the top 6 that list got real tough for me.

-We have no one I am confident in at this point in manning the LT spot if Gross goes down,

-Gamble is a shut down corner who allows versatility in our entire defensive playcalling,

-Smith is Cam's favorite weapon.

-Charles Johnson does a great job at applying pressure and containing the run game on his side.

-Kalil is not only a top 5 center but he also has nobody behind him that I have much faith in.

-Beason is stil the leader of Our D,but I have confidence in Kuechly being able to slide over if need be

-Olsen, was Cam's second favorite target and may see even more snaps if Shockey does not return. Plus tight end position is a vital part of our offensive philisophy

-Lafell's value on this list is inflated some due to that fact that we do not know for sure what we have behind him at the # receiver spot.

-Kuechly makes the list because not matter where he lines up he will be an integral part of our D next year.

-I love our running backs but we are deep there so I left them off this list.

-Hardy is good but having, Keiser, Applewhite and Alexander on the roster will help ease the pain if he goes down

Let me here your top 10 and why.

Why would you decide to post a hit list for the Saints**? Let them put together their own target list.

    • I really appreciate Bill explaining his methodology here because that gives interested parties a chance to try and recreate the results themselves. I believe that it's safe to assume that despite emphasis being placed on WRs that Chuba Hubbard is one of the Panthers' top-5 weapons. Considering targets, yardage, receptions, etc... Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette are also on the list. Jalen Coker's success might have snuck him in there as well. I can't draw a conclusion on who #5 is though. I've narrowed it down to Diontae Johnson, David Moore, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and possibly Rico Dowdle if they're taking into account his production for the Cowboys in 2024.
    • Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy. 
    • I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…
