Here are some numbers I found. Posted this a few months back.

2nd round - about 33% of players drafted in the 2nd round developed into a solid NFL starter. It’s higher for the top of the round. From here, it dropped by 50% per round.

3rd round - about 16%.

4th round - about 8%.

If you do the math, selecting two 3rd rounders gives you a 29.44% chance of gaining ONE long term starter.

Thats less than the odds for a single high 2nd.

 

1 quarter, 2 dimes, etc.

Why would they have 4 alternate jerseys? 

Two alternates. Home, Away, Alternate #1 and Alternate #2. I guess the league must've relaxed the rules on only having one alternate jersey.

But my point was that the Home and Away combos both are just slightly tweaked from what they were. 

Looks like their main combos are more evolution than revolution. Y'all are freaking out over some alternates lmao.

Very meaningful takeaways here from Mr. Newton.

I think as an owner he is allowed to critique and get explanations for play calling post-game.  If anything, I'm glad he is interested in learning more about the game.  I'm sure most if not all owners do this.  

Explanations? Absolutely. Critiques? I just don't trust that he has enough football knowledge to provide meaningful critiques beyond "something's not working, fix it." We have one sentence in a tweet with a screenshot of a write-up that wasn't cited so we need more context about how these meetings went down.

Jesus H.

I know this is not a serious question, but a billionaire ego like Tepper is never going to admit he doesn't know what he's doing.

Looks like he's about to fire off a hot take on the carolinahuddle.com

jersey/pants combos are, by far, the least of my concerns with this team.

if they are losing, it doesn't matter what they wear...it all sucks.

if they are winning. who cares what they are wearing? 

but it's the offseason and we're bored, so here we are...again.

Better this than bitching and moaning about Bryce's offseason workout routine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The logo looks bad on black helmets though. You can barely see it. They need to do something to fix that. I didnt really like it.

The logo looks bad because for some reason they went with a monochrome logo on matte black helmets. Should be the standard logo on metallic black helmets.

White on black looks fine, it just looks odd to us Panther fans because we've been beat over the head with white on white for 20+ years. 

Get out of here with your puff pieces and propaganda! I can't handle it!!!

Big FA move or trade = more bitching and moaning from RumHam.

Spoke too soon there hombre

meh, if they could of merely got the most AVERAGE of ACC QB play from either of his 5 star QBs.....they would have been in the college playoff every year during this "down window". 

That's not the transfer portal getting him. That's 2 back to back 5 star QBs not even being middle of the road ACC caliber. 

Maybe it will get him.  I don't think he cares.  Which isn't a secret. 

 

Yeah I think you're probably right about the QB play, but there certainly could've been roster upgrades through the portal that didn't happen because of Dabo's feelings about it. Anyway, here's to the next 5 star QB playing like a 5 star QB.

I don't really like him but he is one hell of a coach.  I know recruiting was his specialty, so I am curious to see how he adapts to NIL.  

Lack of willingness to use the transfer portal has done and will do more damage to Clemson under Swinney than NIL. By all accounts he's begrudgingly accepted that NIL is reality now.

Why, kick offs are being all but eliminated?

 

Kick-offs currently are basically irrelevant. The new rule changes will make them eventful plays again.

How are onside kicks supposed to work with this arrangement? Also why would they only allow onside kicks in the 4th quarter?

Bot's back.

CAROLINA PANTHERS

• Released: C Bradley Bozeman
• Franchise-tagged: EDGE Brian Burns
• Released: TE Hayden Hurst
• Re-signed: LS J.J. Jansen (one year, TBD)
• Signed: G Robert Hunt (five years, $100M)
• Signed: G Damien Lewis (four years, $53M)
• Released: S Vonn Bell
• Signed: DI A'Shawn Robinson (three years, $22.5M)
• Signed: LB Josey Jewell (three years, $22.75M)
• Acquired via trade: WR Diontae Johnson
• Re-signed: WR Ihmir Smith-Marsette (one year, TBD)
• Signed: CB Dane Jackson (TBD)

Hunt becomes the fourth guard in the NFL to reach the $20 million per year mark, with the position market exploding this offseason as a response to the interior defender market doing the same for the second year running. Carolina needs to protect quarterback Bryce Young at all costs, and this is a good first step.

With the information we learned about the guard market throughout the first day of free agency, with players like Jonah Jackson signing for $51 million over three years, we really like the value and fit for Lewis in Carolina, even though he exceeded our projection like every guard has thus far. This is now basically a third-tier guard deal, and Lewis had some encouraging play in his 2023 tape with reason to believe he could continue to improve.

Jewell is a good all-around player who will love working behind the duo of Derrick Brown and A’Shawn Robinson on early downs. He can also cover tight ends and backs over the middle in coverage fairly well, even entering his age-30 season.

Good luck running the ball against the interior defensive line duo of Robinson and rising star Derrick Brown. Robinson is a monster up the middle on early downs and reunites with Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, who coached him with the Los Angeles Rams.

PFF FREE AGENCY GRADE: C+

The national media is slamming us because they’re convinced Burns is elite and the trade was lopsided in favor of the Giants. Guarantee that’s why it’s only a C+.

Josh Allen, Haason Reddick, Trey Hendrickson, Shaq Barrett, Demarcus Lawrence, Josh Sweat, and whoever is on the trade block. 

Really if we have a decent showing from Wonnum, Chaisson provides depth, and we draft a guy in the 2nd or 3rd, our 1st will probably be an Edge next season. The WR market looks a lot better than the Edge market in 25.

We gotta reserve that first round pick for a QB until proven otherwise
