Ol' Rusty's rainbow prayers, that was once upon a time always answered, use to absolute kill me when we played them. It killed me inside that for years people considered him a cut above Cam.

I think he can play for several more years at a high level. If we bet on him it may pay off. Otherwise, it could be expensive to try and resign him if he has a career year.

One second, asking Chat-GPT to translate. Edit: What happened to the random string of consciousness about nose tackles?

I'm higher on Jackson than most, but here's a little more. In my opinion he's a very decent corner. He can tackle well for a corner and more importantly wants to make the tackle, which at times has gotten him hurt. He has decent hands for a corner and tracks balls well. He's on the smaller side, but gives 100% effort, and plays with fire — is a talker. He can get burned, but so can anyone really, so I never faulted him, especially in last year's disaster of a team. His health is the biggest concern. If he stays healthy I think he will play well.

Yeah, I don't want to hear memes about negative YAC. He's far better than anyone on this roster and better than probably all the receivers we've had since Steve Smith & D.J. Moore. I know you guys have been spoiled with receivers this past decade but let me be the first to inform you that it can be a difficult position to draft and develop. Having said that, Donte Jackson is a starting caliber corner, that I expect will play well at the CB2 position barring injury.

Center is definitely a need. Corbett could be a decent option or maybe he has trouble. Either way we're a single injury away from having a serious question mark at a very important position.

Fleecing the Steelers out of Diontae is saving it.

Don't get it twisted. Diontae has the potential to be a number one receiver. I personally would like to see him extended before the season. The Steelers were fleeced.

I'm gonna need someone to take photoshop or AI or something and put a Chef's hat on the Dan Morgan picture. He's cooking.

Thank goodness! I consider him a definite dog and was worried we were going to have a random butterfingered JAG.

If for whatever reason he doesn't work out, he's a UFA in 2025 which would be a positive in the compensation formula, possibly netting a third round pick. However, I'm hopeful he can return to career highs and the Panthers can resign him.

Yeah, this guy legitimately can win off the line and get to his spot. This is exactly the type of player that can help Bryce to maximize his potential, utilizing his anticipation. Diontae is quite the opposite of the sloppy route runners we had last season just drifting aimlessly out of their breaks.

It wouldn't shock me if the Panthers took a corner at 33, which I'm all for depending on the board.

No, don't mistake it, this guy is actually a very good player. This is a plus move, at least on the developing Bryce side of things. The secondary is suspect with made-of-glass Horn being our best player, but this regime already signaled they were moving on from Jackson.

Oh my god! We actually got something out of Donte Jackson. I thought for sure we were just going dump him or get fleeced with a 7th round pick or something. Jackson was our best (available) corner, but he wasn't in the current regimes plans.

Goodbye second rounder? Or what?

And yet Brian Burns statistically mogged all of these JAGs. We can act like it's a sunk cost, but the reality is he developed as a player and because of that had to be paid by someone. It's not a sunk cost that a first round pick played well and had multiple teams willing to make trade offers over the years, that's an asset. If you want to say Burns was an asset that was traded, go ahead, that's what happen. If you want to paint a picture that Burns was a JAG that we got burned on somehow, well that's just copium. Oh, and one in the hand is worth two in the bush is a idiom for a reason.

That's true but roster spots themselves are an asset. If you're throwing darts at a board and loading the roster with unknowns it can be a net-negative at some point. It really depends on the rest of free agency.

It can be, but cap space isn't a player and I don't count of the ability to bail on a player because it was a mistake anything but what it was, a mistake. If they don't play up to the contract we're in trouble.

I would like to see the Panthers have a winning season this decade, if possible. I'm sad for any kid Panthers fans. They have to spend their entire youth with the understanding that the team is a joke.

Are we talking starter level player or pro-bowler? I read one article has has picks 31-40 having a 24% chance to net a pro-bowl level player. After that it drops to about 16-18% for 40-70. Either way, I want the Panthers to take the best player available and only consider trade backs if their board does not match the value of their pick. It's just a poor strategy to go into the draft with the attitude of acquiring picks instead of talented players.

It's their choice to get 150 million to two guards. They're not bad guards and I understand how it will hopefully help Bryce develop. However, last I checked the Panthers still have 25 million in cap space, even after those monster paydays.

The Scott Fitterer 2021 special.

Same-same. Saving on Burns is nice, but using that money to sign a pile of JAGs to do worse isn't much of a plan unless they are tanking.
