If you have a sub-.500 team and your 1st and 2nd rounders (honestly, I'd go as deep as 3rd rpund) aren't getting very significant playing time in their rookie season you done fuged up.

Biggest needs heading into off-season:

LT Edge ILB FS

Top FA pick up:

LT Edge ILB resigned FS

Top NEEDS/ Starter headed into NFL Draft:

DL FS

Tremble was a 3rd, day 2, just fyi.

Still don't know why ppl are so down on Tremble, he's a good blocker and fast. He can't throw the ball to himself or make him the top read. 

Only site I talk Panthers these days and damn yea been here awhile and even before making an account just to read up Panther news..

What is the alternative?

- BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him.

- Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team. 

The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that. 

The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY. 

So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have. 

My money is on the latter. 

Cam earned his money, Young earned the bench so far, you don't just give every QB top money ...

Plenty of 1st rnd QBs not get a big contract even 1st overall picks

Don't keep digging a hole deeper cut bait and change course, there have been better QBs drafted since Young's draft..

I was looking at some draft grades of this yr(Panthers earned there B+) and I dint think i trust draft grades anymore.

Every single team on a lot of the shows got ether an A or like a B- at worst it's almost like hey you drafted SOME players here's a B to start with

Hell everyone was killing the Rams for the QB at #13  they still got Bs

Boooo....

Damn dude been on like 4yrs straight of prove it yrs and we still don't know what he has on a consistent bases..

He has looked like trash more games then a franchise QB and also is still the smallest QB in the NFL

Cam played 9 season in Car and is a legend. Young going into yr 5 still looking for a winning season and something to say he even close to starter material 

XL a 1st rnder Brazzell II came in the 3rd. I don't think that's how that works

9.99 RAS

So I hear

if he slips to #19

Cooper if not only WRs I would be happy with based on body type and play style 

Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

Why is XL a bust and need 2 be replaced but Young gets 1000 chances to prove he may be avg?

Also let's be real XL was a 2nd rnd wr. They just wanted the 5th opp if it took time for him 2 develop so they went up 1 spot. Maybe if they didn't trade the farm to get Young they could have got or had a better wr...

Open to WR but TE hard NO they have big bodies already but need a 5'11 - 6'0 speed guy that can run the route tree well (USC, IU)

First off, we haven't been ignoring the defense. We have drafted several defensive players, but, perhaps more importantly, we have added good pieces in free agency. Secondly, the offense was still kinda bad (27th or so depending where you look at). You can't just say we can't pick an offensive guy while acknowledging that the offense wasn't good. Everything is on the table.

Like I said above, it seems kind of counterproductive to say that we shouldn't draft an offensive player high unless they're at certain positions. The offense was mediocre at best. Sure, we had an uncanny knack to win some close games at opportune times, but the offense wasn't really good. To me, it makes little sense to put limitations on who/what we should draft when we need an upgrade at so many positions. What you look at is trying to get the best value--bang for your buck so to speak--and that's the way it should be. D-Mo has used FA to set up the draft in order not to be pigeonholed into anything, and that's the way that it should be.

Offense is bad do to poor QB play, they not drafting a QB this year(Bama QB will be there for the taking) but is a top target next year in a better QB draft unless BY9 take some huge steps 

Love agent 89 the player, breaking news guys cheat(women too don't be fooled)

A lesson learned don't do it in NC or else

I would bet most guys with lots of money cheat. Lots of young lady's around

Most of the best TE come from  rn 5 or so..

NOT many good 1st rd TE you can find them later in the draft.

Some teams don't value TE 

If you want a receiving threat just get a WR. This team needs speed and shiftiness not another big body just my view on the position..

Tommy Tremble should be the starter, TJ is just some guy that had flashes his 1st yr before injurys slowed him down. Evans is a blocking TE that can slip out at 2

OT or DL look to be the best outcome for BPA and need if right guy is there

Sucks to be them 

So sad

Spot on for the most part but I don't get ppl that want a new TE..

TT is a good player he is fast for his size a damn good blocker and when thrown to catches the ball what more do ppl want? 

Sanders slimmed down to be the out wide TE so there is his role, plus the Panthers don't seem to use the TE as much in the pass game..

Nope, OT only lineman at #19

Can get C/G later for better value 

They made clear last season they view him at S and special teams.

I think a reporter asked

WTH I thought ol Tepp wanted a HC/OC so when our OFF grows and becomes super great other teams can't get our play caller....

Rivera and Hurney got us to a SB. It was a awesome year, but Cam fumbled the fairy tale ending.  Poo happens. There's more to life than some stupid game grown men play. 

One day we might get to go back, but highly doubtful with that piece of Tepper micro managing things..

 

The NFL changed the rules on targeting players the next year after the SB with the way DEN players has diving at Cams head spearing him not even tackling him. So I doubt it was just "Cam fumbling it away"

Guess people forget what really happen SB50, just like the people who forget NE cheating with all the HOF snub stuff..

It's called injury's and at one point the best Div in the NFL.

Unlike NE who had the Jets and Dolphins to play and always had a easy path to the playoffs most years.

When the NFC South was hot it had 4 good teams all beating up on each other or flipping the Div every yr

2015 and 2017 was the years to win it all with Cam and Luke. 2015 the OL failed them and 2017 the WRs failed them.

Sam Darnold was never going to be the player he is now in Carolina under Matt Rhule.

Sam + Wilks would be a lot farther along in the rebuild. They wanted to run ball play D.

Our new offensive HC wants to run the ball play D... huh

Happy 4 Sam

We had him gave him the 5th yr opp then trashed him and chased Barker for no reason at all 

They was already paying him why not let him earn that pay?
