Bouye is a solid vet after his sits the first few games. Melvin has a lot of experience as well. CB actually has some depth!

Luke struggled to make our defense good his last year. Even the HoF linebackers need a good defensive line in front of them. You have to keep those big offensive linemen off them so they can roam free. Star helped Luke the most IMO, Brown could do the same for our linebackers this year.

And now the trolling… You have basically become just another Sizzle. Lack of knowledge? You have these pre-made trolls loaded up without any context? There was no knowledge being debated. Just said if you are annoyed with Panthers fans being optimistic about their team, maybe the Panthers Fan Forum isn’t the best place for you. I would say nice try, but honestly it wasn’t…

Look there are several posters on this forum that are just here to be critical and troll the fans here. If this guy thinks Shaq is above average/good, who cares. The argument over average starter/good player can really come down to opinion. He went from Luke to Whitehead with young players all around him. I personally don’t think he is anything special, but who cares if someone else does. I’m just annoyed at the trolls/fans of other teams on here constantly talking down about the Panthers on a Panthers Fan Forum. Let us fans have our offseason hype, if you want to debate about players that’s great. But (not you) I’ve noticed some are constantly against the team, and really can’t figure out why they are posting here.

Nah I think the crying of homers is just dumb on a team’s board. You can debate with data all you want. I have no problem with realistic posts, but griping about fans being optimistic or excited about their team is pointless. I have a better idea. People who aren’t fans of the Panthers can just not post on forums dedicated to fans of the team if “homers” offend them. I’m sure there are plenty of Steelers fan forums where you can bash other teams all you want.

If you don’t like Panthers fans being optimistic about their team I suggest you go find another hobby. Debates are great, but complaining about fans on a Panthers Forum being “homers” about their players/team seems a little naive. It’s going to be that way in every teams forums.

Homers on a Panthers’ Message Board? No way?! Most of us here are Panthers fans (believe it or not) and will be optimistic about our team during the offseason.

Eyes on his guy the whole time too…

Darnold should look fine in practice. His issues were making bad decisions under pressure, which was constant in NYJ…

I mean Rhule got a close look at him during the Senior Bowl. He didn’t draft him and doesn’t seem interested to put in a waiver claim… That basically means he likes Grier over him.

I’m not saying it was on him. He had no time to throw and no one to throw to.

Sure it does. He can make 1 great throw and 1 terrible one the next play killing his rating just like that.

Wentz 3 times, plus Eagles QBs in general were all over it… yikes.

Who are you talking about?

Damn I liked his upside….

Still there? Just checking in…

Yeah Horn is a press man CB. He will go cover whoever Snow tells him to cover. Definitely a waste to try to make him play zone…

A 2nd would be tempting, but damn imagine if DJ pulls a hammy or something… I’d rather let our young guys learn and develop this year instead of relying on Moore and a bunch of rookies. CMC and Arnold would soften the blow if he is traded though…

Don’t venture into such dark places in your mind. Keep that poo suppressed and locked away like I do.

We won’t get anything that significant for him. Julio fetched a 2nd, a 3rd would be best case and we can get that in the form of a comp. The WR room turns into DJ, other Moore, and some rookies/unproven players without him. I think he is needed this year for Marshall and Smith to develop.

The defense is young and one of the more talented ones we have fielded in a while. Will it take them a minute to gel and learn the game? Sure. Chinn, Horn, Burns, Brown, and Reddick are all playmakers with some solid vets sprinkled in there. I mean Shaq is now a middle tier player on our team where he should be. Offense is also young with potential. Just having CMC back will do wonders. Throw in Arnold/Tremble as TE options and Marshall/Smith as young weapons we seemed to have improved there as well. LT and QB are the two question marks and two most critical positions. We did attempt to address these positions as well. Darnold should have more talent than Teddy, with plenty of room to grow/develop. We used Scott/Little more times than not last year at LT and we added a vet in Erving and a rookie in Christensen to compete. We have at least attempted to address our weaknesses this offseason, now it’s time to sit back and enjoy the show!

I think they will be middle of the pack. Elf and Paradis are going to be better than expected, Moton should be his usual solid self and Miller/Christensen will handle the other guard spot. LT is clearly the weakness, but Erving has experience, Scott was ok last year, and Christensen has potential there. I hoping for (LT, LG, C, RG, RT) Christensen, Elf, Paradis, Brown, and Moton by the end of the year. Erving, Christensen, Paradis, Miller, Moton is the more likely scenario and our floor.

Yeah that seems more than fair to me.

I think it depends…. If he goes from 32nd to a mediocre 16th QBR that is quite a jump. I would assume he would continue to grow in develop in our new system/staff the following year. That’s around Matt Ryan’s ranking this past year. I seriously doubt he will go from last to top of the league in one season in a new system.
