Roster changes?

So what changes might we see before week two?

 

Got a feeling Garry Williams goes to IR, which likely means another lineman signed. If you're expecting that to be a well-known veteran guy though, I wouldn't necessarily get my hopes up.  It's a legitimate possibility.  After week one - which technically isn't over until end of game tonight - is the time many teams pick up unsigned veterans because they no longer have to guarantee their contracts, but by no means is such a signing guaranteed.

 

As far as other changes, I know some are expecting Armond Smith to be shown the door.  Again, maybe, but I have a feeling he gets one more chance.

 

Ditto Josh Thomas.  Thomas had three fairly bad moments in yesterday's game, but will he be benched?  My gut says not yet, but it's possible.

 

Feel free to predict what roster changes you think could - or should - be made this week.

need more OL. need another corner.

 

more WRs wouldn't help because, well, i'm not convinced that anything past lafell and maybe ginn would ever be thrown to. seems like a regression to feed the stud days where teams could pile defenders on one or two players and shut us down because the QB was waiting too long for his shot with those two instead of taking advantage of the open man and when the open man is actually thrown to they make a mistake because they get to a point where they aren't ever actually expecting the ball to come to them.

Oline, even though they played well, corners, receivers. Same thing as we've been screaming for for 2 years now.

Unfortunately no receivers out there unless we're going to make a trade. I say WR won't get fixed this year. That means receiver in the first round and sign and trade with New York for Hakeem nicks.

This is fantasy. I don't expect them to do anything. Maybe take a WR in the 6 th round out of bumfugu and expect him to contribute.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting the same result.

Agree - Spreading the ball around isn't something the Panthers have tried in a long, long time.

Such a simple and effective principle, but we don't take advantage of it.  Cam would probably say

they are not open, but really he just wants to throw to his favorites that he has this mental favoritism

for.

      Hoping you guys keep it up

      By X-Clown · Posted

      It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️

      Cam on ‘The Bank’

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
