Another very knowledgable article from NFL.com

What's up with NFL.com completely trying to poo on us before the season. I've never seen it this bad. We literally retained all of the guys we had last year and added two more and yet this article says cam has less to work with? I don't understand what these guys are talking about

1. Along with ignoring the receiver position, the Panthers didn't draft anyone to save their paper-thin secondary. The Charlotte Observer reports that coach Ron Rivera has been impressed with a pair of undrafted players, former Alabama safety Robert Lester and cornerback Melvin White out of Louisiana-Lafayette, but that's not going to cut it. There's a lot of pressure on second-year corner Josh Norman to rebound from last season's benching.

Says who Marc?

That article wasn't 100% negative. They did poo all over our receivers, and honestly, that's justified. What puzzles me, though, is that Brandon LaFell and Ted Ginn aren't even mentioned, in reference to our receivers. Does NFL.com even know we have those two guys? lol.

They are mentioned in the second paragraph

    • I don't care about offensive production for a team that literally only threw to him and the running back. I care about what I see on film:   Dude cannot separate on his own against talented LBs/S and had to be schemed open; his route running is below average; while pretty athletic, he doesn't have elite athleticism or speed; his blocking form has quite a few red flags (dude should be a dominant run blocker for his size). He was talented enough to get open in college against a slower LB/S; that won't be the case in the NFL. Not to mention, the dude pretty much was nonexistent until this year for Penn St. If I am drafting a TE in the top 10, choosing a 5th year senior that didn't do anything until his last season should be pretty alarming. Not saying he is going to be a bad player - I think he will be a solid short/intermediate possession TE in the NFL. I just don't understand the logic of taking him top 10
    • No one is arguing where we were on the season.  After the benching Bryce was one of the top deep ball passers in the league.  It's a skillset he has just shown he is capable of doing.  I believe he led the league in week 12 and was one of the top ones for that final quarter.  Dance around the topic and argue the stats all you want, I'm just going by what I saw on TV and read about.   https://x.com/PattonAnalytics/status/1877044086709854343 https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/news/bryce-young-best-against-pressure-throwing-deep Hey it surprised me as well, but I'm not going to hide my head in the sand and try to ignore what is clearly right in front of me.  People have a hard time admitting their original thought may have been wrong.  That's just the world we live in.  We will see if Young can keep it up next year or not, but signs are point to DC running his offense regardless of who is QB.  
    • You are right, but as of late there has been more rookie TEs making immediate impact on teams. McBride, Laporta, Kincaid and obv Bowers.  My true opinion is the team has so many holes they can go multiple directions including Safety. So it just comes down to out of all the talent in the draft who will make the immediate impact. Wr? TE? LB?
