Biggest ?: OL, on paper it looks improved but we haven't seen that translate to the field so far.

Biggest disappointment: Again, I'd say OL but since I already named them I'll say the backup QBs.

Biggest surprise: Burns looks like he's going to be a beast. Not necessarily shocking for a 1st round pick, but if he's as good out of the gates as he looks to be that will be a surprising transition to the NFL as a rookie.

Most improved player: Samuel

MVP: I'd say Cam's right shoulder. That a looks good so far. Better than it did even early on last season before it went downhill.

Most Confusing Poll .........  WFNZ

 

How exactly are we supposed to name biggest surprise or biggest disappointment when we are still in preseason?

It's like they read the Huddle or something.

Not poll, your predictions

Worst Charlotte Radio Station: WFNZ

biggest hack in Charlotte radio: Chris McClain and the other bozos on the morning show. 

Has anyone ever told you that you just radiate positivity? It’s like an aura.

I basically echo this.  While I firmly believe our starting oline will get it together, I was just hoping it would happen sooner rather than later.

Early in the draft process I had misgivings about Burns.  His size bothered me.  When he was picked, I was behind him all the way.  And I know Preseason MVPs don't always translate to the regular season...but I really am loving his explosiveness and how hungry he is to get to the ball.  His second effort, not giving up on plays.  Just everything.  

Samuel has been looking amazing, and thats not just Panther Homerism.  He has been getting a lot of nods from the national media in various formats.

Biggest? ... Poe? 

Biggest disappointment: Want to say Grier and he has been so far but rookie QB only played couple of preseason. I’ll say the OL I felt it was improved in the offense to really still perform as bad as last year... 

Biggest surprise? Terry Godwin. Several I wanted to name here like Burns, Haynes, Scarlett but felt like they were going to be good. I’ll say Terry because 7th round pick and be has looks natural out there and brought life to our return game. 

Most improved: would say Samuel here which from camp and the little action he has been most improved but I’m going to say my jaw has dropped from Haynes performance this preseason

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
