They are looking good because they are playing against 2nd and 3rd stringers. While both look good (Hall has looked better than Skelton lately, and even Skelton was looking decent in their first or 2nd game IIRC) they are not going to be in serious competition with the veteran QBs because both lack any experience in the pros. That 65 OVR rating should be sufficient.

KANE, if you're reading this I have a list of things to correct (ratings are IMO obviously) on the Carolina Panthers.

QB Matt Moore - Needs mustache/beard and eye paint, left QB black wrist and mid arm band on right arm

HB Mike Goodson needs to have a 90+ KR rating if he doesn't already. A bump in acceleration and BCV as well. He almost never goes down on the first hit and figures to get more carries this season too. Needs a towel.

FB Tony Fiammetta - needs to be a shade darker

WR Brandon LaFell - Needs half sleeves removed, he has black taped wrists and white/black gloves. Clear visor. Wears a towel. Maybe up his Spec Cth a pt or two

WR Armanti Edwards - Needs dreads added and all black gloves and wrist tape added

WR Kenneth Moore needs a back plate and a towel.

DE Greg Hardy needs a pretty substantial ratings boost. He is rated a 59, needs to be upped in pass rush and awareness for sure. Also his spin moves on the Dline are nasty. Uses his hands and has really good footwork. Maybe 65-67 OVR. Also needs at LEAST a B potential.

DE Charles Johnson needs a boost of a couple points. He's the best pass rusher and most complete DE on the Panthers.

FS Charles Godfrey needs dreads

I take some issue with removing DB Marcus Hudson. He was signed from the 49ers in the offseason. He is competing for the dime CB, backup FS, and backup SS. He is also a major contributor on ST. I guess we'll see if he makes the opening day roster.

More as I see it..

[NFLfan80]

Where can I tell Donny that Keenan Lewis needs an awareness boost? He's higher on the depth chart than Burnett and having a good camp this year. Morgan Burnett should have higher awareness as well for GB

[JohnDoe8865]

KANE, the Panthers are 95% certainly gonna carry K Todd Carter (#5) as the KO Specialist just like K Rhys Lloyd was last year.

Carter should have very good kick power, similar to Rhys Lloyd.

K #5 Todd Carter
Height: 6-1
Weight: 190
Age: 24
College: Grand Valley State
Hometown: Flint, Mich.
Experience: 1

[JohnDoe8865]

KANE, by the way, another guy to keep an eye on is WR/KR/PR Trent Guy. He has a really good shot at making the team as the primary KR/PR as WR Armanti Edwards has had trouble catching punts. Right now WR Wallace Wright is on the EA roster and Guy has a better shot at making the roster than Wright and probably a better shot at sticking than WR David Gettis, another guy on the EA roster.

WR #84 Trent Guy
Height: 5-8
Weight: 171
Age: 23
College: Louisville
Hometown: Charlotte, N.C.
Experience: R

[Brandwin]

I agree. Removing guys just messes up dynasty. At least big name guys like Sidney Rice. If it's a 3rd string MLB, not as big of a deal.

Yeah it doesn't make a lotta since. I understand the 53 man issue (which shouldn't be an issue), but why not put guys like the Dallas TE Phillips and other important IR guys in FA? There is a lot of dead weight in FA right now. Guys that will probably not play again or ever.
