A look into the future

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.

    • I mean, in theory Bryce could get over the hump. That aside, you have to know that due to the situation we are going to give him another year. From some perspectives, it just makes sense. I'm not saying that I agree or disagree with it, but it's not like the draft is chock full of franchise QBs. I'm thinking that only one, the consensus top pick, is destined to be the only one in this draft (and some people don't believe in him). All we can do is sure up the room with an FA (Pickett) and take a swing or two and hope (maybe the dawg Pavia). 2027 should bring better options if it comes to that.
    • Let's be honest here. We have one WR on this team that would be in the top 3 of ANY other team. And he was a rookie last year. I love Coker but he is an often injured UDFA. He wouldn't have even gotten a chance on other teams. The rookie injury would have bounced him around the league for the next 5 years until he stopped trying to make a roster. It's a numbers game for most teams and he would have (at best) been on some team's practice squad. But Carolina has been so devoid of talent at the position, that we didn't have much of a choice. Bryce leaves a lot of questions but to say he hasn't elevated anyone isn't true. No WR has left Carolina since he's started and did better on another team. Not one. And there are several to choose from. Coincidence? Maybe. Probably not.
