So the T'Wolves just renounced his rights. I hope we jump all over this. We need a PF and despite him being a stick figure, he's an athletic freak, he's still only 22 years old and he showed huge potential when he was with the Warriors a few years back.

According to Bonnell, the four guys we are looking at

from most likely to least likely to become a Bobcat

1. Antawn Jamison

2. Carl Landry

3. Kris Humphries

4. Luis Scola

You forgot "currently" and "that Bonnell knows of", since they "just" renounced his rights.

Randolph definitely looks like a "headcase" but I would vote: YES.

I forgot nothing since the Cats are CURRENTLY waiting to hear back from Jamison.

I didn't say Jamison wasn't at the top of their list. I was talking about the suggestion that those are the only 4 players that they would even consider "considering."

To be honest, I'd rather sign Jamison and wait it out for a year and take a guy like JMM before taking a guy like Randolph. I'm starting to get real skeptical about players with that small of a frame.

I don't see Randolph as having a "small frame". He's bigger than McAdoo. Taller and broader. Weight isn't everything, but he's not John Henson. I think he's a better fit for a pressing team than Jamison.

His weight has been an issue though, he can't throw his body around like a guy that McAdoo can.

Also, with the system that Dunlap has in place (college style) I believe that a Carolina big man, specifically James Michael McAdoo; would thrive in this system.

If they picked up Randolph, there's no guarantee that either him or Tyrus Thomas would still be on the team after this coming season. They could still pick McAdoo in 2013 if he comes out. Still don't want Jamison, and would rather have Scola, Humprhies, or the newly available Randolph than him. Hopefully Jamison decides to chase a ring this season. If he's smart, he'll go to Brooklyn.

      That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      The Saints being that high is the one that killed me. Chris Olave might not know his name at this point, Shaheed is coming off injury as well, so 31 year old Brandin Cooks might be your best WR...coming off a 260 yard season over 10 games. Kamara is Kamara, but didn't have 1,000 yards last year and is about to turn 30.  Toss in the fact that Taysom Hill may be the best QB on the team and I truly don't understand Barnwell's thoughts beside seeing the names "Olave" and "Kamara" and going yep, that sounds better than "Chuba" and "Thielen".

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By TD alt · Posted

      Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.
