Joe Person promises Panthers win 8 games

Must-watch game: vs. Cleveland, Week 1 As explained above, the opener sets up as the ultimate boom-or-bust scenario. But the narrative is too rich to choose any game but this one. Even if just one of the two quarterbacks plays — Watson or Mayfield — the otherwise unremarkable matchup becomes riveting theater. And don’t discount the possibility that Mayfield could wind up in Charlotte if the Browns agree to pay more of his $18.8 million salary or they cut him. There’s also this fun fact: Cleveland hasn’t won a season opener since 2004. Giddyup. Toughest stretch: Weeks 4-7 The Panthers open with four of five games at home, but the end of that homestand also marks the start of the saltiest stretch of their season. Beginning with an Oct. 4 game against Arizona in Charlotte, the Panthers face four consecutive NFC teams that made the playoffs a year ago, including the aforementioned Rams and Bucs. Barring injuries, those teams will start the following quarterbacks: Kyler Murray, Trey Lance (or Jimmy Garoppolo), Matthew Stafford and Brady. If the Panthers don’t win a couple of their early games against the Browns, Giants and Saints, calls for Rhule’s head could be intensifying before Halloween. Game that has gotten tougher: vs. Denver, Week 12 While the Panthers were one of four teams in the running for Watson, general manager Scott Fitterer called Seahawks GM John Schneider — Fitterer’s boss in Seattle — about Wilson. Those conversations didn’t get very far as Wilson had set his sights on Denver, where Wilson will have a nice collection of weapons in running back Javonte Williams and wideouts Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy and Tim Patrick. But the Broncos also improved defensively by spending big on defensive end Randy Gregory and drafting pass rusher Nik Bonitto with their first pick in the draft. One game the Panthers can’t afford to lose: at New York Giants, Week 2 The Panthers had several low points in 2021, but the deflating, 25-3 defeat to the Giants in Week 7 was one of the worst. It was the fourth loss in a row for Carolina following a 3-0 start, and Rhule benched Darnold in the second half after the former Jet completed 16-of-25 passes for just 111 yards, with an interception and three sacks. A similar performance against the Giants — who were interested in Rhule before the Panthers hired him — would not be good for Rhule, given the tougher tests to come in October. Best offense the Panthers will face: Bengals (Week 9) The Bengals were really fun to watch on offense last season, and that was even with Joe Burrow getting tossed to the ground early and often every week. Cincinnati overhauled its offensive line with three additions — right tackle La’el Collins, right guard Alex Cappa and center Ted Karras. Cincinnati signed Hayden Hurst to replace tight end C.J. Uzomah. And Burrow has a bunch of other fast, talented guys to work with, a list that includes running back Joe Mixon, wideouts Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins and tight end Tyler Boyd. Best defense the Panthers will face: 49ers (Week 5) San Francisco rode its defense (and Deebo Samuel) nearly all the way to its second Super Bowl appearance in three years. Aaron Donald alone puts the Rams in the conversation in this category. But the 49ers’ front four is deeper, lining up with Javon Kinlaw, Arik Armstead and Nick Bosa, who racked up 15 1/2 sacks and four forced fumbles last year after returning from a knee injury that wiped out most of his 2020 season. San Francisco added to its pass rush by drafting Drake Jackson in the second round. The Niners’ one weak spot was their secondary, but bringing in free-agent cornerback Charvarius Ward should help. Predicted record: 8-9 The Panthers are better up front on offense, and that has to count for something. But I’m not sure it’s enough to elevate Darnold to a quarterback who leads his team to the playoffs — even against a schedule that has some soft spots. Would the outlook change if the Panthers were to pick up Mayfield or Garoppolo? Yeah, it might, which is why Rhule and the Panthers haven’t completely shut the door on the possibility of adding one of those guys.

Excellent interview

True story just a chance encounter with her and her friend in Santa Monica, CA December '19

Looking forward to this

Fitterer mentioned the team will bring in about 20 rookie tryout guys

meh

Good ‘ol D-Newton

Thanks for posting

Josh Babicz, TE, North Dakota State: The 6-foot-6 Babicz was a high school receiver who gained 35 pounds over his five seasons in Fargo, weighing in at 255 at his pro day. Babicz has a decent combination of size and speed (he ran a 4.83-second 40). Though he caught only 12 passes last fall, he made the most of them with four touchdowns and a 21.2 yards-per-catch average. Davis Cheek, QB, Elon: Cheek became the fourth quarterback on the roster after passing for 8,548 yards with 51 touchdowns and 21 interceptions in 40 starts over five seasons at Elon, an FCS school in North Carolina. The 6-2, 216-pound Cheek, who played at Butler High outside of Charlotte, ranked among the top 20 passers in FCS in several categories, including completion percentage, passing yards and total offense. Isaiah Graham-Mobley, ILB, Boston College: Rhule’s Temple staff gave Graham-Mobley his only FBS offer coming out of high school in suburban Philadelphia. The 6-1, 230-pounder never became a full-time starter at Temple, where he sustained season-ending injuries in 2019-20. He transferred to B.C. for his final season, where he missed three more games due to injury. Dane Brugler, The Athletic’s draft expert, said Graham-Mobley is “a good-looking athlete with some untapped ability, but his inconsistent play recognition vs. both the run and the pass will stand out vs. NFL offenses.” Drew Hartlaub, S, Penn State: Like several of the Panthers’ third-day draft picks, Hartlaub’s pro-day numbers were more impressive than his college production. Hartlaub (5-11, 170) was primarily a special teams player at Penn State. And his speed could give him a chance in Carolina: His 4.22-second 40 was a tick faster than that of seventh-round pick Kalon Barnes, the Baylor cornerback who ran the second-fastest 40 in combine history at 4.23. Ra’Shaun Henry, WR, Virginia: The Texas native played two seasons at Virginia after starting his career at St. Francis (Pa.). The 6-2, 181-pound Henry ran a 4.44-second 40 at his pro day after a solid senior season for the Cavaliers. Henry caught 34 passes for 603 yards and three touchdowns, and his 17.7 yards-per-catch average ranked second among UVA receivers. Talolo Limu-Jones, WR, Eastern Washington: Limu-Jones (6-3, 211) was a tight end early on at Eastern Washington, where he stayed for six seasons and became a playmaker at wide receiver. A 1,000-yard receiver in 2021, Limu-Jones averaged a touchdown every 7.7 catches over his career and finished with 16 receptions of 40 yards or longer. John Lovett, RB, Penn State: Lovett played sparingly in his lone season for the Nittany Lions after four seasons at Baylor, including three with Rhule and Panthers running backs coach Jeff Nixon. The 5-11, 215-pound Lovett ranks 16th on Baylor’s career rushing list with 1,803 yards. His best season with the Bears was in 2019, when he ran for 655 yards on 103 carries (6.4-yard average) with five touchdowns. Marquan McCall, DT, Kentucky: The 6-3 nose tackle’s weight fluctuated throughout his time in Lexington and even afterward. After weighing 342 pounds at the combine, McCall was up to 354 at the Wildcats’ pro day a month later. McCall didn’t play up to his “Bully” nickname as a senior, finishing with just nine tackles in nine games. Brugler said McCall “must adapt and maintain a more professional approach behind the scenes, but his massive frame and natural power could earn him a roster spot as a backup nose tackle.” Arron Mosby, edge, Fresno State: Mosby (6-3, 250) was a safety at Fresno State before moving to linebacker and eventually to edge rusher, where he led the Bulldogs with 15 tackles for loss (including six sacks) as a fifth-year senior in 2021. Mosby displayed a nose for the ball regardless of where he lined up. His three interceptions early in his career as a safety were highlighted by a 95-yard pick-six, and last year he tied for the FBS lead with six forced fumbles. Andrew Parchment, WR, Florida State: The Fort Lauderdale native took a circuitous route to the NFL with four college stops: Northern Illinois, Iowa Central C.C., Kansas and, finally, FSU. The 6-2, 191-pound receiver had a big season at Kansas in 2019 (65 catches, 831 yards, seven TDs) but hasn’t been able to match it. Parchment pulled in only 24 catches in his only season with the Seminoles, although he averaged a career-best 15.1 yards per catch. Charleston Rambo, WR, Miami: After an up-and-down career at Oklahoma, Rambo scripted the most prolific receiving season in Miami history last year, breaking school records for catches (79) and receiving yardage (1,172). A team captain for the Hurricanes, Rambo finished with seven touchdown receptions and four drops in 12 games. He also has return experience. Said Brugler: “Rambo can be out-matched in contested situations, but his blend of speed, body control and tracking skills translate well to the NFL level.” Khalan Tolson, LB, Illinois: The 5-11, 231-pound Tolson played multiple linebacker spots at Illinois, accumulating 130 tackles in 42 games over four seasons. He had a nice pro-day showing, running a 4.45-second 40 that would have ranked third among the linebackers’ times at the combine. Tolson’s best chance of sticking with the Panthers is likely on special teams, with Brugler saying he’s “too easily controlled by blockers and doesn’t play with burst.” Derek Wright, WR, Utah State: Wright (6-1, 193) had a solid 2021 campaign, finishing with 48 receptions for 789 yards and 11 touchdowns, which ranked 16th in the country and tied for the second most in a season in school history. Wright ran a 4.51-second 40 at his pro day, had a 38-inch vertical leap and pushed up 21 reps in the pro bench press, more than any wideout at the combine. https://theathletic.com/3298242/2022/05/09/panthers-undrafted-free-agents-receivers/

Tom Brady undefeated never lost

Corral had the lowest Wonderlic score of any QB in this class he's probably a dumb dumb

- Panthers engaged in trade talks with Browns on day 2 regarding Baker Mayfield however he didn't get the sense the Panthers were enthusiastic about the possibility - Baker was open to Panthers but more of an "anywhere but Cleveland" perspective - Panthers were much more intrigued with Matt Corral and also liked Sam Howell - Matt Corral underwhelmed in interviews with multiple teams https://www.espn.com/nfl/insider/draft2022/insider/story/_/id/33883074/key-intel-all-32-teams-2022-nfl-draft-buzz-exec-reactions-depth-chart-fits-remaining-needs-comes-next

I most certainly hope so

This was very nice

Fittere interview was very nice and attractive
