The year 2016.

Cam Newton is 28 years old, a 5 year veteran entering the time in his career when athleticism and experience intersect in their primes.

Kelvin Benjamin is entering his 3rd year as our #1 WR, having learned the fine points of the game under Ricky Proehl and has developed chemistry with Cam.

We are out from under Deangelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart's contracts.

Kony Ealy is entering his 3rd year and has been molded in the same form that Rivera and Washington molded the Kraken, which has allowed us to climb out from under one or both of our current DE's contracts.

Luke Keuchly is 25 years old with 4 years of experience anchoring our defense.

Star Lotulolei and KK Short have continued to progress with 2 more seasons of experience.

The young guys on the roster have either sank or swam. Melvin White, Tre Boston, Tavarres King, Marvin McNutt, Bene Benwikere have all either performed well and earned a roster spot, or have been cut.

 

Kugbilla has seen the field and he and Silatolu, Turner, Chandler, and whomever else makes the squad have a few more years of experience together.

We've continued to patiently and quietly build the roster via BPA in the draft while filling holes temporarily in free agency until they can be filled permanently upon having enough cap room.

And now we have enough cap room.

Mark me down as a believer of this regime and managment.

I love the philosophy across the board. My kind of football.

Im sorry its not some's style and being extremly worried we do not have a proven LT is justified, but i really do have a hunch that gettleman knows what he has there. If bell or my favorite, chandler pan out at LT, then im gunna invite most of you to my place. Ill be cooking crow

And the Panthers fans continue the call a #2 WR?

 

Fast forward to 2027.  With 13 loyal seasons under his belt, battling triple teams his entire career, and wanting to retire a Panther Kelvin Benjamin is unceremoniously cut by and called a distraction with his constant pleading for a #2 receiver. The Panthers draft a receiver to be #1 with no #2 in sight. Got to love the Panthers front office!

...to resign Cam and Luke. Dunno how much is gonna be left over. It sucks we're essentially going to miss out on having the extra cap space from Cams rookie deal like the Seahawks did with Wilson due to all of Hurney's stupid contracts.

I'm confident that the cap situation and overall team talent will be better in 2016, but still.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is saying we don't need it, just that we have bigger needs elsewhere, and that type of WR is actually something that is often found in the mid rounds, you just have to scout and evaluate properly. Here's another way of looking at why WR in the 1st shouldn't even be considered an option. Looking only at players currently on the team, what position group would you feel strongest about 4 years from now? I'm not sure there is a better answer there than WR, as you have to think T-Mac is our best player on the team in 4 years (Brown is the only current player I think there is even an argument to be made over T-Mac there), with Coker not far behind. Our OL is too old to be considered, my opinions on Bryce is well known, Hubbard will be done by then and the rest of the RB is an unknown, Off-ball LB is maybe our biggest need, we only have 1 legit safety, it's certainly not TE, and our 2nd best CB right now will be 33 by then.   Brown should still be a beast as he'll only be 31, but nobody else on the DL projects to be that good in 4 years.  Edge rusher with Phillips, Scourton, and Princely is probably the only other possible answer than WR. So yes, that fast/shifty type of WR is 100% a need of ours, but we have so many other bigger needs both in the immediate and future, that to me, taking a WR in the 1st for the 3rd year in a row and having hit on another WR in the same time frame, just makes zero sense both currently and looking into the future.

      Draft intel from ESPN’s Jordan Reid

      By TD alt · Posted

      Laughing at Slayton (Mooney or Calvin Austin III), but telling me that Coker is the next best thing since sliced bread...You laughing at Theo Johnson in reference to our guys too? LOL No one in their right mind thinks Nabers is anything but a stud (definitely top 10 if not 5 potential). You do realize that Thomas was in a new system with a furst-time coach last year (with a questionable QB to boot)? And yet still, it's possible that he eclipses even T-mac (not saying that he will). They didn't even mention Travis Hunter. In any event, we're not in the top half. Draft another legit receiver, and we will be.

      Absolutely, very fair assessment of the team.
