Freethinker
Hall of Famer
I liked this alot from last year's writeup from missing poster footballenthusiast:
"Panthers are in what I like to call "caste system hell". Like many things in life, failure in football typically starts from the top down. Tepper is impulsive, meddling, and a fervent caste disciple. Wait a minute, those labels describe most, if not all the owners don't they? Yes, and that's a big reason as to why the NFL is the way it is. Let the 2025 Carolina Panthers serve as one of the foremost examples of caste zealotry and the putridity it produces."
This ending up being very true with one weird anomaly of the Panthers making the playoffs despite being one of the worst teams with a -69 point differential. This year's version gave up 59 points (!!!) in week one so this is going to be a turd team once again.
Offense:
QB - Kenny Pickett, Haynes King
WR- Brycen Tremayne*
TE- Mitchell Evans
C - Luke Fortner, Sam Hecht
RT - Monroe Freeling
Defense:
ILB - Jackson Kuwatch
Special Teams:
P - Sam Martin
K - Ryan Fitzgerald
LS - JJ Jansen
IR:
Brady Christensen (T)
Practice Squad:
Jake Kurhan (T), Parker Petersen (DT)
* Brycen Tremayne has some Asian ancestry on his mother's side.
Number of White Starters: 2
Total number of White players on 53-man roster: 10 or 11*
Grade: F-
This team is pure garbage and got worse from last year as they no longer have a starter on defense. On offense, after center Luke Fortner snaps the ball, there is probably around a 1% chance that another White man touches the ball again. Brycen Tremayne (who might be a stretch to even consider White) is the 5th wide receiver and Mitchell Evans is the backup tight end. These guys combined for 33 catches the entire 2025 season, so it would be a good game if a White athlete caught even 2 passes going forward. Other than Fortner, the other starter is 1st round draft pick Monroe Freeling out of Georgia. A brief report on him:
Monroe Freeling brings length and athleticism for a tackle - he moves effortlessly in space, climbing to the second level and sealing off backers with ease - while already showing polished pass protection, including a smooth, repeatable vertical set and a functional anchor against bull rushes.
Quarterback has 2 players who could arguably better options long-term than the diminutive, thus far bust, Bryce Young. We all know about Young's failures so far. His career average QBR is 44, which would be considered poor with a range of 50-60 being "average". But hope springs eternal for the black hopes in the Caste Media, so I'm sure many are proclaiming him turning the corner after putting up good stats against a Bears team who showed little defensive effort in week 1. Kenny Pickett is the well traveled backup. He's only really had the brief stint in Pittsburgh with dysfunctional coaching, so one would wonder how he'd do with an additional half season audition as starter? Perhaps the opportunity will present this season.
Haynes King was a beast at Georgia Tech as a true dual threat and is probably the most exciting player on the Panthers roster. If his name was DeHaynes Kang III out of South Dallas, instead of who he is from Longview, Texas, then we know he would have been highly touted and drafted. Instead thanks to the Caste System he went undrafted. In 2023 for example, Haynes King joined LSU's Jayden Daniels as the only two Power Five quarterbacks to hit 2,800+ passing yards, 25+ passing TDs, 700+ rushing yards, and 10+ rushing TDs in the same season — a rare dual-threat statistical club. Daniels got the early 1st round pick and King got no buzz, so he had to return to play 2 more seasons and mostly toil in obscurity. Well here at CF, we will sing his praises and here they are:
On defense, they let highly productive Christian Rozeboom walk and replaced him as the token White with late round draft pick Jackson Kuwatch. He's a tall linebacker who tested well out of Miami Ohio after walking on with Ohio State. He's a development player and got zero defensive snaps week 1. So don't blame Whitey when the Black Panthers' defense is getting shredded week after week.

- 2025 ACC Player of the Year & Offensive Player of the Year — First-team All-ACC, capping a three-year Georgia Tech breakout
- Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award (2025) winner, plus Under Armour All-American honors coming out of high school
- Elite athlete at the position — his 4.46-second 40-yard dash ranks as the 5th-fastest ever recorded by a QB at the NFL Combine
- Dynamic dual-threat skill set — plus lateral agility, change-of-direction ability, and burst that translate into big plays on designed runs and a real mismatch in the red zone
