Practice squad signings

How is this man CJ Saunders even on the practice squad? I remember he looked like a little kid out there on a punt return last year and literally almost got killed out there..... What is Rhule's obsession w this guy? I guess he is just a hard worker and good locker room guy, but he's no better than the local accountant across the street. Let's not forget Rhule had this man playing over Shi all summer and would've cut Shi had Saunders not got cut. What an embarrassment.

Are you always this pissed off about Practice Squad signings?  Saunders by all accounts had a very strong training camp to where many of us thought he was poised to make the 53-man roster.  So if you're shocked that he made the Practice Squad, then you clearly weren't paying any attention to any of the practice threads where reporters were continuously tweeting about Saunders catching everything thrown his way.

 

He also returned a punt against the Bills for 23 yards so I'm not sure why you're referencing a punt return from last preseason.  I couldn't care less if he looks like a kid out there if he's giving us 23-yard returns.

No. I just know he's only here b/c Rhule has a weird obsession with the dude and other people deserve to be in his spot making money. I don't really care because no practice squad receiver has much of a chance anyway, just want to know what's up between him and Rhule. And he never returned a punt for more than negative yards lol.

CJ is Matt Rhule's love child...

    • We won't know the answer to this for a long time. Reality is, Caleb has been the consensus #1 in that draft for years. Bryce was a similar situation, but mostly the same. He was not the clear and obvious #1 that Caleb was, but most teams had Bryce at QB1. The Panthers were always going to be terrible Bryce's rookie year.  I don't think DJ Moore's presence would have changed anything about that offense, as our guards, center, and left tackle were getting demolished on nearly every snap. It's clear Caleb's dad was trying to do everything possible to ensure Caleb didn't end up in Chicago with Eberflus. It's hard to imagine that he wouldn't have done the same, but probably more publicly with our situation, considering Carolina is an easier target for the media than Chicago. We can all speculate, but it's impossible to tell who is going to have the better career on May 16, 2025. If either, QB doesn't pan out, we have an easy answer. If both flame out, the bears clearly won the trade, but it wouldn't have really mattered anyway. We all know how we win the trade. Candidly, even if one of the other picks we gave up ends up being a hall of fame player, we don't know if the panthers would have taken that player anyway. All you can do is make the best decision you can in the moment with the information you have. I really like Bryce Young, and I'm glad he's a Carolina Panther.  The only way to win in the modern NFL is to have an absolute dude at QB. I personally am happy that our franchise recognizes this, as I remember times when they did not.
