I'm guessing the coaches, front office, and owner disagree with you. 

Wel that's obvious...about as obvious as Teddy's poor play.  Thst doesn't mean the guy is good.  Look at Byron Bell..

Love is a UT. Short's former back up, not Star's. Regis was Star's back up last year. 

No he isnt/wasn't.  This regis guy was on the team in 2014 and never playeda single game.

We cut Love? Why? I haven't seen Soliai push anybody around. Love looked better, but oh well.

Although preseason hasn't showed it I expect Soliai & Butler tandem to step up big time in the regular season. Panther should aim to be  # 1 rush defense

I'm getting so sick of this "Well the coaches know better than you and blah blah blah blah". This is a god damn message board where people share opinions. Igo might as well shut down the huddle if we were to accept every little move this franchise makes. The exact samethings were said during the Hurney era too. Not saying Hurney and DG are the same, but people need to stop taking every move this organization makes as scripture and realize not everyone is going to agree.

Regis was on the Roster. I forgot about Colin Cole and Dwan Edwards. Edwards backed Short and Cole backed Star. Love is versatile but would have been useless on the team this year with Solilai and Butler coming off the bench.

Here is Regis' biography: http://www.panthers.com/team/roster/micanor-regis/4ea31980-0ec2-44c0-b56a-17d732ce5340/

 

He was waived during final cuts last year. He wasn't on the team..........

Cole was cut the day Star became healthy. He played 2 games.  Helps if you watch the games :)

I liked what I saw from Scoot.. hope he makes it to our practice squad.

Breaking down the Panthers' 53-man roster;

3 Quarterbacks

4 Running backs

6 Wide receivers

3 Tight ends

9 Offensive linemen

5 Defensive ends

4 Defensive tackles

7 Linebackers

9 Defensive backs

3 Specialists

Forty of the 53 were on the roster that lost to Denver in Super Bowl 50. Cornerback Bene' Benwikere would have been on that roster if he wasn't on injured reserve.

I love how people are already calling this a bad draft when none of the draft picks have played a single game yet. This is the Huddle, I guess.

Gettleman has cut 40% of this years draft picks.

But that means Gettleman kept 60% of draft picks.

[Hogmolliesmaht]

Cutting a 7th round pick shouldn't even count as cutting a draft pick. Those guys are always long shots in the first place.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Carolina Panthers made 22 player moves on Saturday, trimming the roster to the NFL-mandated 53 players. Here's a closer look at the final cuts:

Most significant move: The Panthers didn’t cut a draft pick in Dave Gettleman’s first three years as a general manager, but this year they cut two in fifth-round pick Zack Sanchez and seventh-rounder Beau Sandland. The release of Sanchez, one of three cornerbacks signed in Gettleman’s attempt to replace 2015 Pro Bowl selection Josh Norman, was most significant. Sanchez wasn’t a serious contender for a starting job, and he likely was no better than third in line at nickel behind Bene' Benwikere, Colin Jones or Robert McClain. But the Panthers like Sanchez and they’d like to sign him to the practice squad. Sandland never pushed Scott Simonson for the third tight end spot. He also could be added to the practice squad.

Most significant non-move: The decision to keep outside linebacker Jeremy Cash and wide receiver Damiere Byrd, both undrafted players. Cash, undrafted out of Duke this year, came in undersized but has beefed up 16 pounds to 220. He became a force on special teams. The reigning ACC Defensive Player of the Year has the athletic ability to be a Thomas Davis-type every-down player with his ability to blitz, cover and stop the run. Davis was a safety out of Georgia when taken in the first round of the 2005 draft, but he transformed into a Pro Bowl outside linebacker. Byrd was undrafted out of South Carolina last year. He returned after a year on the practice squad more polished as both a receiver and a returner, where he can help this team the most. He looks like a threat to break one every time he touches the ball. He’s arguably the fastest player on the roster.

Most surprising move: Second-year running back Brandon Wegher looked to be a lock on special teams after playing the second most to Cash in the last two preseason games. But to keep him would have meant keeping five running backs. There was no way Wegher would get on the field behind Jonathan Stewart, Mike Tolbert, Cameron Artis-Payne and Fozzy Whittaker. Carolina hopes to stash Wegher on the practice squad.

Killer Bs plus two: Wide receivers coach Ricky Proehl has been telling us how much deeper the position is this year than the past three, and the final roster is telling. Carolina kept six receivers, one more than they have in recent years. Kelvin Benjamin (6-foot-5), Devin Funchess (6-4), Ted Ginn Jr. (5-11) and Philly Brown (5-11) were givens. There wasn’t much doubt that Brenton Bersin (6-3) would be back, as well. Keeping

Those 2 likely never cracked a smile last season. You have to take the who in to account.
