Speed is a must this offseason.

The biggest talk this offseason is the Panthers lack team speed. On offense it's time now that we get Cam Newton a legit weapon in free agency specifically at WR. In my opinion, it might be a complete pipe dream, but I'm all for at least making an attempt to grab a guy like Randall Cobb in free agency. I know that Gettleman has already said he doesn't plan on shopping at Tiffany's and that's fine. But we have to get Cam Newton a legit weapon who can complement Kelvin Benjamin extremely well and Cobb is that guy. I don't think the philosophy will change with the Panthers being ballers in free agency but getting Cobb would be a steal.

I'd be ecstatic with Kenny Britt or Cecil Shorts. Josh Morgan and Brandon Tate could give us some good value and help the return game and be a good option at WR4.

 

Obviously a dream signing would be Maclin or Cobb. Another guy who I would love to have, but probably won't happen, is Crabtree.

Im on the Devin Smith bandwagon myself.  However the need to upgrade team speed is obvious.  Watching other teams basically steal 8 yards because they have speed/quickness at the WR position is annoying as hell when we can't do it.

 

Think about it, when was the last time you saw a Carolina receiver just run away from coverage? (hint. Ted Ginn).  How about a wide open receiver that wasn't part of a busted play on defense?  What about a short completion turned into a 50 yard gain that wasn't a screen to Deangelo? 

 

The addition of speed on the defense resulted in a drastic change. It will also be much better when we get the limited Roman Harper off the field.  I expect the same on offense.  However it has to be the right kind of speed. Philly Brown isn't slow but he doesn't have the speed that keeps DB"s up at night.  I think we need to bring Ginn back and add 1 or 2 more speed guys and WR.   Dream scenario is someone like Maclin, Britt (Cobb isn't leaving GB) and Devin Smith in the draft.

I like Cobb...........with Aaron Rodgers.

There's no way he'd put up the same kind of #s here and people would start getting pissed that we payed him x $$$$$.

It's not about putting up numbers it's about moving the chains. He lead the lead with the most first down catches by a WR. He will open up the field for Benji and Olsen.

I'm all in for speed , would love to see a little more come our way.

Yeah but we'd pay him based off his performance this past season, which I don't think he could duplicate here. Therefore, a bad investment.

      Thomas Fletcher Didn’t Make It, But These Four Did

      Seriously? A CB who missed all that time on his rookie deal and was also a top 10 pick when the guys picked right before and after have been studs. A RB our GMs tried to replace with FAs and 2nd rounders and two backup level players is one of the best drafts we’ve ever had? I’d argue that the 2011/2012 drafts were better even with just Cam and Luke/Norman. Here’s the drafts I think were better: 2017, maybe 2018, 2015, 2013, 2011, 2012, 2008, 2007, 2001, 2002 (just Pepp) I’m hoping 2025 is way better as well. Honestly, we’ve kind of sucked at drafting overall and that’s the only reason you can even remotely call Horn, Hubbard, Tremble and BC a good draft let alone one of our best ever. Good teams that draft well would laugh at that as a great draft. If you want to look at say the 2023 Lions draft, you’d get 4 stud/above average/average starters not just 3 replaceable starters/backups and a top 10 pick that missed half his games. That’s a draft that helps turn a team into a playoff team. Our record since our 2021 draft is 19-49. A best ever draft doesn’t go 19-49.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      I remember when football was great.    Wasn't this century.

      Bingo. You can't pay that type of player elite franchise QB money. That average starter type player can excel when he's surrounded by top shelf talent in a great offensive system but pay him elite QB money and you're going to really struggle to surround him with the type of talent you need to carry him. You pay those elite franchise QBs because they can carry your roster. You can't pay guys who have to be carried. Bryce showed glimpses down the stretch last year. I really hope he keeps building on that. But before we back up the Brinks truck he needs to show that he's the type of QB who can lift up and carry the offense because when you pay those guys that's what they're gonna have to do.
