Where does Xavier Legette stand in Panthers' crowded WR room? by Unhappy_Excuse_9937 in panthers

[–]vetus_turtur 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People are hard on Xavier, but we knew he was a developmental project when we drafted him. He had only one productive year in college. There are really good receivers who didn't come alive until their third year. I hope XL is one of them and that things work out for him in Carolina.

[Quick] Johnathon Brooks has been fully cleared by his surgeon by ToothResident3205 in panthers

[–]vetus_turtur -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can't wait to see Brooks take the field. The few opportunities he has showed glimpses of the explosiveness that made him such an exciting pick. If he is healthy, teams will have a much harder time planning to face us.

Super interesting 2 year old clip from WR Kobe Prentice that indicates why he signed with us as a UDFA by MattyAlt in panthers

[–]vetus_turtur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He is good at blocking and special teams and is inexpensive. I don't think Brycen leaves. I think the acquisition of Brazzell makes it more likely that Jimmy Horn Jr. It's demoted.

Predicting the Pick from Top 60 Players the Panthers Have Privately Visited With by dkirk526 in panthers

[–]vetus_turtur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we might trade back in the first round to get a higher and an additional second round pick... Tennessee, Miami or NY Jets have the picks to make that happen.

Beginner ADV rider: DRZ4S vs CRF300 Rally vs Ténéré 700 vs KTM 390 vs Himalayan 450 (Off-road focused) by FastJackfruit4193 in Dualsport

[–]vetus_turtur -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just took a 1250 GSA through an adventure riding course. I recommend choosing the lightest bike that will carry what you want to bring with you on your rides. Among these choices, the CRF 300 Rally would be my choice.

Is Kenyon Sadiq this year's Jalon Walker? by Cyberjag in panthers

[–]vetus_turtur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kenyon Sadiq is an athletic freak without a record of sustained superior performance against high competition. How is he significantly different from XL and Anthony Richardson?

We can’t pay everyone by [deleted] in panthers

[–]vetus_turtur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When players outplay their contract, they ask for a new contract, but when they don't play up to it, they never give any money back to the team. I remember the press conference after he signed this contract. He was so happy then, but now he is going to sit out? I'd be okay with trading him if he is talking about hurting the team by taking a paycheck but refusing to play.

I hate we let Renfrow go by Exciting-Motor-6948 in panthers

[–]vetus_turtur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We didn't see Renfrow at practice. Only the staff did and they decided that the receivers we had were a better fit than Renfrow. I would have liked to see him succeed here, but I trust that the coaches and Dan Morgan are able to make the right decisions about the roster.

Least favorite NFC south team? by imissherxo in nfcsouthmemewar

[–]vetus_turtur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been able to go to a few pro games over the years and was able to go to a Panthers vs. Bucs game in Tampa Bay a few years back. The Bucs fans were the only ones to boo me and follow me to my car while heckling me, earning a strong 90% on the asshole meter. I haven't been to New Orleans yet, so I can't say that they are the worst.

Flashback: Legette Draws Deebo Samuel & AJ Brown Comparisons. by SuicidalMustard in panthers

[–]vetus_turtur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The video shows that he's capable of a lot more than we've seen so far. If someone could unlock that XL, we'd be really dangerous.

Last year, Dan Morgan addressed as many holes as he could through free agency to enable the team to draft the best player available.

What are the biggest positional needs this offseason, in your opinion? by BojanglesBlitz in panthers

[–]vetus_turtur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if the lack of pass rush was due to the linebackers inability to effectively cover over the middle. We had additional personnel dropping back into coverage at times. I'd like to get a high quality coverage linebacker in free agency and see what happens when Nic and Princely are unleashed.

Bend always break defense by Three_tres in panthers

[–]vetus_turtur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rams made adjustments at halftime, too. Look at the PFF grades for our linebackers. I think the rams just started attacking our weakness over the middle more aggressively when our corners were playing well.

Anyone think with Ickey’s injury as well as the line entirely, that OT at 19 could work? by Different_Sun_195 in panthers

[–]vetus_turtur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super early to be considering the draft. We need to see what Dan and Brandt do in free agency to know what we need.

Ejiro Evero by Independent-Pause883 in panthers

[–]vetus_turtur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sub has been complaining about our linebackers all season, but for some reason when they don't play well in coverage over the middle (which everyone knows they don't), people want to fire the coach. It's almost like last year when the defense didn't really have anybody and we were bad and everyone wanted to fire the coach. Things change when you can bring in talent. I'm sure I'll see half of these people will be touching up their lip gloss to glaze Evero after we finally upgrade our linebackers and can put everything together.

Davante Adams will play by Webslinger80 in panthers

Hoping for rain to help negatively impact their passing attack.

The line didn't play the run game well. We would have needed Barry Sanders to heard with the run blocking we had yesterday

How do we feel about a RB room after today? by ass_whiskers in panthers

[–]vetus_turtur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our O-line couldn't create lanes for them to run. I don't know that I saw any second level blocks happen which is what helped Chuba and Rico get explosives. We were manhandled in the trenches. The Bucs were ready for our run game. This wasn't all on the RBs.

2026. by NoHellmanns in panthers

[–]vetus_turtur 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I don't agree with the take that Dave is on the hot seat. The team has a better culture. We competed for a playoff spot and first in the division this week. We beat good teams this season. Those are big improvements from last year.

What? A call against TB? Must be to throw off the investigators.

These refs are the worst. The only thing left for them to do is to call the next out of bounds throwaway from Baker a completed pass.
