Players out of the loop for months (check)

New scheme/ New staff (check)

Void of vet presence at key positions (check)

Chance to loss major contributors (check)

1 week FA period before camp (check)

Rushed Training Camp (check)

Lack of OTA's to get system in place (check)

These upcoming preseason games are going to be garbage.

Honestly we won't see anything of substance from our guys till week 8.

Granted many other teams are in the same boat.

AND we do have talent for success in the future.

Honestly it's a danger to the players.

I think they should cancel at least the first week of preseason.

Luckily and Sadly it will be scrubs out there for the first couple games, while the starters get practice reps.

BUT! this is the start of a new era for us.

i know but at least this year we'll watch a team starting anew with young players that will become key contributors eventually instead of watching a team regressing with old players way past their prime that should retire like we saw in 2006, 2007 and 2009, or watching john fox's 1000 yard stare on the sidelines like we've seen more and more ever since the seattle nfcc game.

as long as i know we're rebuilding, i'm okay with some growing pains

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
