Pilares and McNutt are gone, King has done very little, and it's basically just Bersin and Brown now.

If you want to gripe about nothing okay, but don't sit around and pretend like we have all these other options. Brown is gonna make the team.

Hence this thread that you opened that said free agent returners. WOW

Why take the risk with Cason though? At least that's the way I look at it. I assume the coaches aren't crazy about the idea either.

I'm not crazy about either idea, but I know the dropped punts Brown has had could possibly cost us big time when the games count.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but did he not recover all those "dropped" punts?

 

Look I'm not saying I love the situation, but do we have to keep pretending like he's Joe Adams or something?

Well why don't you go ahead and list us off the guys who would be clear immediate upgrades for dirt cheap?

There will be someone that can field punts. Heck, we can't even worry about being a return threat....we need someone that can simply judge where a punt will land and catch it.

We're gonna scraping the bottom of the barrel regardless.

 

If all we can hope for is a couple of guys who maybe did something several years ago then I'd just rather keep Brown or use Cason.

We might be scrapping the bottom of the barrel.....we need to. Philly is gonna hurt us.

We won last year.....not playing that type football

Why would you rather have Philly bobbling and misjudging punts over someone than can field them?

I think we're done with the dick measuring. If you've got some insight of your own (not something Scot posted) I would be happy to hear it.

The list is the same and most people know it so why rehash it. The thread was started to talk about replacements not currently on the team and your stance (which I agree with) that he's the best option on the team doesn't make sense in this thread.

I'd say wait until the cuts tomorrow and Saturday, and then there would be a better gauge of things. 

 

I'm not opposed to using Philly, but I think that he may take a while to learn. I thought that while watching the game. Maybe he needs to sit back for about 8 weeks, really learn and grasp the offense/special teams/returner role, and we'll go from there. I do believe we need a stop gap, though.

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
