10 players the Panthers can't afford to lose

By Darin Gantt

Updated 07/30/09 - 9:28 AM

The Carolina Panthers will report to training camp Sunday, at which point they'll start holding their breath.

It's that way every training camp, but when you have top-shelf talent and not much depth, your concern about injuries grows each day. So as solid as the Panthers' roster appears to be, there are several guys they simply can't do without — or won't do very well without.

Here is a look at the 10 (actually 11) players the Panthers can least afford to lose for any reason this year, in order of importance. Some are clear, and some are higher or lower on the list than you'd think based on what's around them.

Pretty close to what he had. Though you had D-Will too high, he's great but we've still got Stewart/Goodson/Fiammetta

huh? Goodson and Fiammetta have done what in the NFL already?

Stewart starts, Goodson and Fiammetta fill in for breathers. Yeah they're not going to entire replace the Stewart/DWill combo, but RB's translate to the NFL better than most positions, and it is our position with the most depth.

Mine would be:

Otah - Cause Schwartz is unproven

Gross - Cause Cadogan is unproven

Wharton - Our best interior offensive lineman

Williams - Cause our run game is the bread and butter of the offense.

Stewart - Same as above

Smith - One of the best WRs in the league

Kemo - DT is already our weakest link on defense

Peppers - Our interior defensive line is already sketchy. Without him our line would be even more questionable.

Beason - One of the best LBs in the league

Harris - One of the best hitters in the league and the backups are questionable

(Honorable Mention) Kalil - The backup center is unproven

    • I read an article a few days ago that places like Seattle green bay and a few others are revoking tickets rights to holders that sell 100% of their tickets. That would do a lot of good league wide for bringing back some home field advantages. We aren't the only team who's stadiums get over run by visitors. It happens basically everywhere. That would go a long way to bringing ticket costs down 
    • yeah, you can basically copy and paste my thoughts from this time last year.   We are building an O more suited for Jake Delhomme than Bryce Young.  Tmac and XL sound great for the downfield gunslinger  Give them opportunities to make plays.  From what I have seen, and the scouting stuff I have read.....TMac does not project as a get open quick WR.  He is going to have to work on getting off the line at this level, getting open, etc.  Which is all good.  This you go to think people will be studs out the gate or you are hater logic just ain't what I do.   Take my XL stance last year.  I lobbied hard for him.  When we drafted him I immediately told folks to pump their breaks on the wild expectations.    If XL legitimately turned into what I think he can be.....his best setup in the league would not be paired w/ a QB like Young.  if Bryce was going to be the dude, I would have lobbied for Ladd vs XL.  I was an XL guy.   And again, I would have gone Warren/Jeanty this draft.   I would have invested in small ball talent for him to be the PG for. 
    • @TheBigKatare you going to Arizona? I'm thinking about making a road trip again. Haven't venture out since we got spanked in Miami a couple years ago
