Still impressive for a college QB to have a 60-yard rushing TD as a RB in the NFL. Bonnafon was what George Seifert wanted Dameyune Craig to be. 

Dameyune Craig...

The 53-man roster has 24 players who were Panthers last year, 29 new faces.

WR, DL looks solid, S has potential for the first time in a while

OK--I did this for myself but thought I would share since it took an hour or more.  Please let me know if I need to make corrections.

Offense:

DEFENSE/Specialties (Sorry--the last chart did not allow me to delete)

[4Corners]

You CAN NOT look at this pathetic excuse for a roster and believe we are not tanking. If they win more than 4 games Ruhle should be coach of the year.

Take a look at what Jacksonville is doing. 

 

THAT is tanking.

One of the rare times I agree with you. With this defense, anything over 4-5 wins will be impressive. It is not an intentional tank, though. Its just the way it worked out with all the roster turnover.

I think we are building the team with the kind of guys Rhule likes to coach-I am not at all surprised or disappointed because I see this as year 1 of a 2-3 year building process. 

Getting Douglas yesterday was a win.  I wonder if he is the next FS, fwiw, groomed to play behind Boston for a while.

Thanks for the charts @MHS831. Very helpful to see it that way.

LB scares me--we are going to miss Luke big time.  I am not as worried about CB as most on here.  I am OK with S.  Not sure how these players will be used, but that will be fun to watch.  Yes--I see us giving up 30 a game.

I might need to add CB/S to Douglas.  We cut Robinson to make room---coincidence?

I think you are on to something. Someone else mentioned that, too. They may see him as a better fit at safety here.
