Lol at LaFell. When you're checking in 1 spot higher than Pickles, it should tell you something

 

Lafell has some talent, and he's tough. Just inconsistent.  I'm not sure if he and his agent honestly expect for him to get paid like a number two receiver.  I think he's great depth though, and valuable on certain plays.  I'd take a shot at a 1 year deal worth maybe like 1.5 mil, and go let him explore FA.

Why has Clausen's name been coming up so much? Am I wrong or didnt the team cut him?

 

from the Team page on the Panthers site:

TRANSACTIONS

Placed on injured reserve with an injured right shoulder by Carolina (9/1/13)...Waived/injured by Carolina (8/31/13)...Selected in the second round (48th overall) of the 2010 NFL Draft by Carolina (4/23/10).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Waived/injured by Carolina (8/31/13)

He cleared waivers as a released player which by rule he reverts back to his original team that cut him and is placed on IR.  or something like that.

 waived/injured is not the same as waived. When he passed through waivers he was defaulted to our IR. So yes, he's been on our teams IR all year.

hmm... top probably something like...

 

1.Hardy

2.Mitchell

3.Gross

4.Ginn

5.Captain

 

#5 is hard, because I think what Mikell brings to the defense is underrated on this board sometimes, but Captain is too.

 

#3 is primarily because of our how many FAs we have on the OL as it is and how weak it is.  The draft could change this, and I think losing Ginn would be a huge mistake.

 

#4 I think is a lock to come back, along with #2.  The others, I'm not sure on.

 

I put Gross at number 1.  He's a quality LT and we have NOBODY to replace him, nor do we have the $$ to sign a top LT.  He wants to finish a Panther and will probably sign for less than he deserves.  Get him signed now.

    • 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. 
    • Football is not the professional sport where timidness and apprehension are justly rewarded. 
    • Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
