Good pickup and I'm happy this is who we got over DJ, especially if Hinrich was off the table.

 

Kemba (Roberts)

Henderson (Hairston, Neal) 

MKG (Taylor)

Marvin (Vonleh/Zeller)

Jefferson (Zeller/Biz)

 

I mean if you look at last season, it's arguably comparable or better if I may say so myself.  If we get Stephenson it's a biiig boost, but if not, we're still in shot for a 5-7 seed imo especially if Vonleh contributes well his first season.  Yeah Marvin is nothing to run home about but we have two other very young guys at the spot we're trying to see can be effective.  Marvin makes sense.

 

We needed a backup PG, so we grabbed one in Roberts.  Completely viable option.  Every team can't expect to be like the Suns.

Considering you can only have 12 players in a game I see Biz, Neal or PJ being inactive. If we do end up signing lance or a big name FA I assume it will mean Taylor will be inactive as well.

Also I believe if we don't sign Lance then we still have a shot a being a top 4 team if...

MKG gets a jumpshot. There has been news saying MKG has been working on his jumpshot this offseason.

Vonleh or Zeller can put up good numbers. Zeller did improve as time went by. Vonleh is still an unknown.

I believe we can still do well if PJ doesn't get a lot of playing time this year. We do have Neal who can shoot so I don't see him as an necessity for success however It would be great to see him do well this year.

That's true.  

 

If Taylor is inactive, there will be a decent amount of pressure on MKG to really step it up offensively this season.  I know a lot of focus is on Lance, which it should be, but SF is still a need but I'm talking a FA that still gives MKG the chance to prove his worth.  

 

Is CD-R coming back?

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
