Trade deadline Oct 28, do you think we make a move?


Recommended Posts

The trade deadline is quickly approaching, do you think that the Panthers may make a move to help them extend their division lead, or will they be content to just sit tight?

 

One curious case is CJ spiller. he is heavily speculated to be on the trading block by the Bills.

He would be an interesting addition, but I don't know if we have the flexibility needed to do it.  We'd have to give up some draft picks, and at this point, I'm not sure we're in a position because of the cap situation to lose young players.  In the offseason we're gonna have to cut one if not both aging running backs that will cost us some money, we'll also have to get some O-line help which will be at the forefront of our focus, as well as re-signing cam.  On top of all of this, improvement HAS to be made on defense, particularly the safety positions, so giving up a draft pick or two for a RB who will cost us about 5mil (before he complains about his contract) will hurt us badly.  I honestly really want to see Fozzy get healthy and give him a chance to produce, that way we know whether or not we need to look into getting a RB in the draft.

Unfortunately, cutting our aging running backs won't save us much money at all this offseason

Spiller would be an interesting addition for sure, but we are still in the process of trying to move on from our own assets, not take on others.

 

The only teams I see with any chance of making a deadline splash are teams like the Broncos that have gone all-in on winning now and have a limited window to do so.

There is in fact, another position of concern i would like to address and thats the power running back position,why? because it compliments Cams mobility and the rushing attack in general; by puttung opposing defenses literally on their heels and CJ Spiller doesnt fit the bill.

    • Yeah, Dave doesn't seem like a "muh scheme" type of coach where he wants plays drawn up for his QB to robotically go through a preprogrammed process. He seems like more the type of coach that just wants his scheme to produce opportunities for a QB to be a playmaker. It's a scheme you'd love to play in as a QB and it's the type of scheme that should work really well for the "point guard mentality" QB they tried to sell us on Bryce being and the type of QB he was at Alabama but at the NFL level all of those physical shortcomings that seemed plainly evident to many of us on the college field are showing up in a big way. Even with his bad decisions I honestly think a lot of it is that he's struggling to see the field. I don't mean that figuratively in that he's misreading the defense or missing open receivers, I mean that literally in that I think he's struggling to see the field over the lines of 6'4"+ huge men in front of him. Reich used to talk about creating throwing lanes for Bryce to see through and holy poo... if you need throwing lanes now you've massively shrunk your opportunities. Now you're trying to play QB through a picket fence. If you watched him play at Bama, you saw him routinely drop back 10-15 yards behind the LOS to gain depth so that he could see over the scrum. You just can't do that routinely in the NFL. NFL pass rushers are just too good. Your OTs can't create that deep of a pocket.
    • This could be a breakout game for Kyle Pitts. I'm hoping for a miracle just so we have something to talk about besides the team sucking poo.
    • I don't remember a 2018 tear down. I remember the failed 2019 failed build up of the 3-4 switch which is still stuck in the 'working on the foundation' stage. I thought 2020 was closer to that but really it was just an idiot behind the wheel doing what idiots do. Poor drafting and free agents is the main problem IMO. This team hits so little on talent it's actually amazing they don't stumble over more just by accident.   I still don't think there is anything to tear down. Just a ton of easy to dump people that should happen. It's a bottom of the roster churn that reaches 2/3s the way up this roster.
