Gross -  maybe had one good year left but that is doubful given his age

 

Smitty - 35 year old guy in the last year or two of his career - lst year undr 60 catches and 800 yards- noting special in the number 1 or even number 2 WR category - last game he hurt and may be not coming back from that injury in any significant way

 

Rest of the o lineman - bunch of back up type players most in them also old old old  - no big loss

 

Ginn - return specialist - had a few good catches last season - not anything special

 

Hixon - one catch of note all year that looked like a play run with him as a substitute  Armanti Edwards - no loss

 

so what are you fools crying about with 6 months left to go before the season starts?

Outside of Gross (nothing we could do) and Smitty (no one really knows why it happened) everyone we have lost is very replaceable. And matching the offers they got from other teams would be the most Hurney thing we could do. Doing that kind of stuff is why we have no money right now. Just be patient. It's March 13.

26th ranked offense**

Serviceable S and CB that played behind the best front 7 in football**

All replaceable.

With what, exactly? 5 million and 7 draft picks? Optimistically that's maybe 9-10 players, and not all are starters.

Meanwhile, while we cut half our starters everyone else is upgrading.

Ginn, Mitchell, Captain were all making pennies. Same with Mikell. No one else wanted them and we paid pennies.

You don't have to drop big contracts or get big money guys to win. We are a prime example.

 

Remember the Summer where we drop huge deals left and right to keep the gang together. Like everyone wanted. It screwed us. It's why can't spend much money now.

So, if it's so easy give me all the players we can sign with our current situation to adequately fix our holes and return to the playoffs.

I'm not an NFL GM so I can't answer that question. If you asked my that question at this time last year there is no way I'm throwing out Mitchell, Mikell, Ginn, Hixon.

Smith and Gross probably won't be replaced until the draft.

Munnerlyn, Mitchell, Ginn, Lafell, Hixon are all rather easily replaceable and I expect them to be replaced at some point in FA.

In other words: I ain't worried.

And by the way, of the second list of players only two weren't complained about over and over.

Ginn - because we were so use to him being a bust

And Mitchell because we were pleasantly surprised.

And lastly of the list of players we let walk most people here would have complained if we offered them the contract they eventually signed.

Pay Mitchell 5yrs 25 mil? No thanks

Pay Captain 3yrs 15 mil? No thanks

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Icege · Posted

      Just to be clear: I'm not "downplaying" the talent around Bryce... I'm qualifying it. There's a big difference between saying, "we finally have building blocks that we're actually developing" and "we've done enough to say this is a finished product, NO EXCUSES!" It's possible to believe that the 2023 situation was bad and to believe that the current state, while improved, is still incomplete. That's not inconsistency; that's nuance. As for the footwork stuff, again, I've seen the same clips as others. The claim that Bryce is hopping to see over the line just isn't one I've seen corroborated by analysts or tape breakdown. "Both feet off of the ground to throw" happens a ton for QBs (ex: Mahomes, Rodgers, Purdy, etc.), especially when improvising. You're right that there were some encouraging flashes from Bryce last season, and it's nice to finally hear that after so much time was spent pretending otherwise. I'm not arguing that Bryce is elite, I'm just asking that we evaluate him using consistent, measurable criteria to determine his status as a top-10 QB... whether it's via 3rd down %, red zone efficiency, turnover-worthy plays, or yes, big-time throws (which, by the way, has been a valid part of QB evaluation across the league for years even if it wasn't used here during Kyle Allen or Teddy Bridgewater's years. For reference: Allen had 20 BTT at a 3.9% rate. Teddy had 17 BTT at 3.3%). Like you, I'm hoping to see a competent, entertaining offense this season. That's a baseline we can all root for, even if we don't have the same baseline for what makes a QB top-10 (which, to be fair, is what this conversation has been about... though I respect the attempt to reframe it).

      [PFF] Tetairoa McMillan Will Unlock Bryce Young and the Panthers Offense!

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I am optimistic that we might be on the verge of fielding a sustainable offense finally. The Bryce stats listed above are definitely encouraging. I don’t want to overly inflate this and disregard the previous 1 and a half seasons of production from Bryce and “cherry pick” stats but do hope the benching turns into an inflection point in his trajectory.      Lots of excitement heading into this season.

      Summary The 2024 Carolina defense posted a 44.9 grade last year, which was the worst in the NFL since 2020. They also had the worst receiving grade in the NFL despite a QB that emerged in the second half of last year. TMac is most likely WR1 in this class and is now WR1 in Carolina He's going to be incredibly helpful on go balls, dig routes, and in the redzone. Highlights show just that: First highlight is Arizona vs. Utah. 4 verts vs. cover-0, TMac lined up alone on a go ball vs. press = we're launching it Second highlight shows his potential as the X. Runs a backside in-cut and the Tampa-2 MLB sells out on the corner route, leaving his back to TMac. Tough over the middle, explosive after the play. Sees TMac doing a lot of what Mike Evans was asked to do in Tampa. Third highlight shows how effective TMac is in the redzone and it's his one-handed catch vs. Travis Hunter. Brings "indefensible plays." Has size advantage that can beat guys, can jump, and has ridiculous hands. Will help Bryce in year 3 as it will allow him to continue playing "fearless" like he did after coming back from benching. Highlights show where TMac fits and re-emphasizes how he's going to make things easier on go balls, dig routes, and in the redzone: Fourth highlight shows Bryce vs. ATL when he hit AT vs. AJ Terrell down the sideline. Bryce has to hold the single deep safety during his drop to give Thielen a chance (who is only 4yds off of the LOS when Bryce is throwing it). Registers the big-time throw attacking vertically. Fifth highlight is vs. KC on a blitz where Bolton is coming downhill while Karlaftis is dropping back over the middle. Has an in-route that has outside leverage with Chris Jones applying immediate pressure. Layered it over Karlaftis' head for the completion. Sixth highlight is the fade route TD to David Moore vs. Zona. in the redzone. David Moore was the X on this play. Thought this was interesting, especially considering recent conversations about Bryce's intermediate game needing to be better:
