Gross on IR, Charly Martin from PR to 53 man roster

[monstercat]

Well, we do know that Jackson got some chances to play at Tampa and it didn't work out, so this shouldn't be that surprising...especially since his major problem was ball security. It don't make any difference how fast and talented your are if you drop the damn ball and can't take a hit. Hopefully, he will put that stuff behind him and get better, but meanwhile, welcome to the team Charly Martin.

BTW, Fox didn't hesitate to put Sutten on the field right after he was called up from the PC, so I don't know where people are getting the notion that he won't use martin if he's good enough to play.

Except Sutton was never on our practice squad, after Green Bay waived him we picked him up off waivers and he was put on our 53 man roster. Now I will give props where they are due, Sutton was active on sunday and played as KOR, while Goodson was inactive, so Fox sees Sutton as an improvement then Goodson right now.

I stand corrected. Still though, Fox started Sutton at FB against the Saints when the guy had never played a single snap for the Panthers, so it does show that he will not only play young players, but will actually start them if they deserve it.

Yep, so I'd love to see Martin in the slot if he is good at it, any weapons we can get on offense ill take.

hopefully ol' jake will flashback to having proehl in the lineup and target him like he did in the old days. just see a 6' white boy running around out there and throw it to him.

it's a shame that 81 is already taken. that would have been too perfect.

Doesn't sound like I did. If Jackson is afraid to get hit, he's completely useless to us at this point.

I think you are..why because fox has been praising jackson..they liked him out of college but jackson is raw..and they prob felt he could not play Special teams and he did not understand the offense yet...I dont think martin getting called up is because they felt he was better than jackson.but martin was ready and jackson was not.I hope both can play good..

I'm pretty sure if Martin is ready and Jackson isn't... that makes Martin >>>>> Jackson. Could Jackson become the next Steve Smith? Sure... but if Martin's getting the call right now, he's obviously better at the moment.

I would say he is more prepared..rite now for what the panthers want.then jackson.but i would not say he is better:D...I know the panthers are high on jackson.and fox likes to take his time with WR.I would be supprised if martin gets active in a game.

I would be surprised as well... it just seems like Jackson has several knocks on him and this kid doesn't. Hopefully they can both be future, solid contributors.

if Charly Martin is a workhorse kind of guy that puts in tremendous effort and study day in and day out, then he is perfect for Foxball..

Gantt on martin

They promoted WR Charly Martin from the practice squad to replace LT Jordan Gross (who went on IR).

That's as much of a special teams move at this point as anything. The Panthers haven't had a WR contribute in the kicking game in some time, and Martin's a more physical presence than Kenny Moore.

But don't sleep on this kid. He had a great camp with the Chargers, and many there thought he should have made the team.

On signing wide receiver Charly Martin from the practice squad: He's a guy that's been working real hard. He's out here practicing every day. He's definitely caught the coaches' eyes as far as what he's done on the practice field working against our first-unit defense. He's a bigger guy that could help in the kicking game as well as at receiver.
