Predict Our Depth Chart

[Lout]

Right now Hogan and Norman will be battling it out. Yes he will be over Butler and Munnerlyn.

Riiiiight... a 5th round pick from a D-IAA school is going to come right in and compete for the starting job. Norman struggled at the senior bowl and many scouts believed it was 'too big' for him. And you think he will come in a compete against guys like Steve Smith and Brandon LaFell? You have got to be kidding me. Even RR said that Norman was a 'project player'. Not expected to compete right away. You overrate his abilities. It was a great pick and all, but he will not contribute right away.

Not gonna lie, those that think Norman is going to start right away need to readjust there thinking. I go to Liberty and Coastal is our rival. Our number one wideout Chris Summers who is with the bears now had five receptions for 85 yards against Norman. Just saying.

No way in hell we keep 6 safeties. Subtract at least one, and put Clausen back on the roster, he isn't going anywhere.

I agree. Norman will be the 5th corner this year, until he gets acclimated to the NFL tempo and scheme.

One thing too, we have depth at nickle. Hogan and Munnerlyn are going to duke it out for the 3rd corner job. I think unless Darius Butler regresses in camp, he will start across from Gamble.

I am sorry guys. Medlock will not beat out Mare, unless the team just wants to go young

[Kuech the Sneak]

am i the only one that thinks they move hang to LG and put silatolu at right?

also, my guess is that if otah goes down again silatolu kicks out to RT.

Rivera said silatolu will compete for the starting LG spot...and I doubt they would move hangartner

WELL THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE F*CK THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT.

Just wanted to bring this back to the top so we can all laugh at Joe Person's miserable attempt at a depth chart: http://blogs.charlotte.com/panthers/2012/05/projected-depth-chart-for-panthers.html

Yes, we traded a 2013 3rd Round pick for Alexander but he isn't making the roster according to Person! Oh and, Jordan Pugh is making the team while Reggie Smith, the guy we signed because we wanted to upgrade the safety spot, won't make it either.

God, why do we have this dumb fug covering our team?

[Murph]

^ It should be noted that his depth chart has only 48 or 49 guys listed so he is probably just covering the top 2 at each position.

I have a hard time believing this coaching staff and FO is content to stick with Munnerlyn as the starter. Butler is only good as a backup. Leaving Hogan and Norman to battle it out. If Norman isn't supposed to compete, then that will leave Hogan, who only took a few snaps last season, to start. I would like for him to have legit competition before he is given the starting spot. And if not, then its like "Here you go Hogan you stink the least, you are our new starting corner".

Hogan/Munnerlynn/Butler are going to battle for a starting position. To me, it seems that it's pretty evident who will win the job, considering that Hogan was starting at the end of the season and seemed to pass Munny on the depth chart. Munnerlynn is a great nickelback. RR said that Norman is a project player, so I don't see how we could say otherwise. I don't think they are going to just give Hogan the starting job.. I think he will earn it.

The will treat it the same way they did with Cam last year. We all knew he was going to start, but RR didn't just give Cam the job. I think Hogan will win the job just like Cam did last year.

i dont think it matters to Rivera where you were drafted the best guy will be playing.
