IDK. Predicting how good has been the biggest issue by a pretty wide margin.

I am not sure what the statistics are for 2nd rounders, much like Google "AI", as I would have to do actual research that it doesn't. The 3.3ish years average NFL career has held fairly true, IIRC. I know there is a site that still tracks that data. There was a very good and thorough look at success rates by round(I think it was based on games played or started) I read a few years ago and after the 3rd round the success rates dropped off precipitously. I will see if I can dig that up in the near future.

Well the team is always going to say such things. We will see this year. If he has really dedicated himself to football, the results should show themselves on the field. If they don't and he starts to get pushed down the depth chart, I think the writing is basically on the wall It's hyperbolic to say it's a critical year but if it's more of the same after year two, I am just not sure there is really any more to see.

We need someone to step up at FS. That was an obvious roster hole coming into camp. If Richardson can work out, we may have a pretty good S group.

TBH, I think there are a LOT of red flags with his focus on being a social media brand rather than his focus on being a football player. The antithesis of this was definitely Jaycee Horn. I remember all of his rookie vids being working out with top CB's and the reports of him being a sponge for info from the vets. That's elite mentality. XL does not have that, hence why I am generally so negative about him.

So few of the guys pan out after the 3rd round. I really never put too many eggs in those baskets, minus some exceptions.

LLM snippets are not clarity.

That is literally what I am talking about. Those were 53 man cuts. Not at the beginning of camp. I would say the odds of Barno being back are extremely thin.

Yeah, I would caution most Panther fans to ultimately realize that this team is still a very safe bet to be a top 10 draft pick in 2026. What we want to see is roster progression. Actually starting to win is a longer term goal. Welcome if it comes early, to be sure, but definitely not expected.

IDK. If he was a PS candidate, seems like he would have made it further into the TC/preseason. I think it's more likely that he just didn't factor in after all the pass rush additions.

I think this was very inevitable. I suspect a few more niche, fan favorite JAGs will be released before Game 1.

And this price tag should look very reasonable in 4-5 years.

He is easily our #2 defenceman. There is no reasonable scenario where I am giving that up for a JAG+, one dimensional player with an elite price tag. fug. That.

No. Overreactions will rule the day. You take your fuging reasonable takes and just go fug right off.

I mean, the organization is showing what they think of that. This is why I refuse to buy any Panthers related anything under Tepper. It sucks they are assaulting your ability to pass this fanhood/curse on to your kids. It shows how disconnected they are from regular fans.

I would suggest not going. That all should be free.

I mean....most fans aren't really enamored with the organization at this point.

Don't support the evil empire. Pirate what you can of their poo you want to watch. fug em.

I am consistently amused and perplexed by the portion of the fanbase that seems to believe that a "worst in franchise history" roster has a quick solution. Even many years into this mess, it's going to take time to remedy.

Them just making everything more expensive and re-creating cable is just going to drive people away. They fail to realize this in an atmosphere where the demographics are massively against them.

I will say that we all basically knew the roster was extremely thin(has been for years). Inevitably, offseason injuries were bound to happen. It just kind of is what it is. Some guys we need to evaluate for next offseason will get some burn and hopefully we will make another small step forward with the roster for 2026.

Well this is not a positive development for the team in the slightest. We just got a lot thinner at a very thin position.

I am curious to see if Warren is the elite player that the Huddle Warren stans believe. I am always fairly wary of these first round TE's.

People drastically overestimate our TE's because Sanders had some good flashes and there is some Ian Thomas hype for Tremble still. The truth is that Tremble is an NFL JAG and Sanders is a very talented and very unproven player. I suppose the new drafted kid could make an impact but I am not sure I would put a lot of eggs in that basket.

I generally anticipate a bottom 10 and perhaps bottom 5 team. I am thinking that a chunk of that can be tempered by the realization of how incredibly bad the overall roster is. If we hit a couple of FA signings and a couple of draft picks, it's a step in the right direction. At this point, that's my personal bar. Just make the overall roster progress be forward rather than backward. It's at least a starting point that someone will eventually be able to do something with. We definitely can't stay in this perpetual backslide.
