We have some really cool projects/prospects this season.

Beavers and the Canda Kid.

Cptn Munerland and Hilee Tylor.. Etc.

Just seems too many people have "spots"

Runningback has -> Williams, Stewart, Hoover, Goodson, Fimmattea(sp)

Would we even take 5 Running backs into a game ?

Wide Reciever is another logjam.

Smitty, Moose, Jarrett, Robinson

Now Robinson isn't set in stone, however I think someone will have to blow away the competition to get that 4th jersey on game day. Not to mention Goodson could verywell be the "4th" WR so that Tony F can get out there.

Defensive End

Peppers, Brayton, Brown, Charles Johnson is a solid rotation.

Do you take a 5th DE just for situational use ? Is Brayton considered a DE/DT ?

CB is an even worse log jam.

Gamble, Marshall, Martin, Wesly.

Now most will quickly say move ole Weasly out of the way, but he made rememberable plays on Special Teams last year, and that say something that you can remember a Special Teams play.

We might have a rather stacked practice squad. :lol:

Did you call him Weasly on purpose? lol

These kinds of decisions are why I want preseason kept at 4 games, especially since they aren't panning on expanding the roster/PS (AND NFLE IS GONE MY PET PEEVE-ARGH!!). Coaches have no other type of game experience to evaluate on other than PS and can't keep too many projects around. I hate that.

It will be interesting to see who gets what reps where in TC. I am counting on you hawkeyed observers, you know who you are, to keep us geographically undesirable peeps in the know.

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      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

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

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
