I think this is what will happen. He will not sign a upper tier F.A. (to some Huddlers dismay). The signing of Oher(and now possibly Ginn), shows the path he is taking. He will build this team through the draft and fill the rest out with the best 'dollar wise investments' on the market. Don't think he will bring in older vets like last year. He will pick a few guys who still have tread left on the tires and want to play for a fair price. Get ready for the draft.....that's where this team will be build from, not free agency.

I'm just fine with steering clear of the top flight FAs.  They almost always get overpaid.  Guys like Oher, Ginn, and potentially Derrick Morgan?  Those are guys who can help you fill out a roster and still leave you with the cash to make sure you can lock up your core players.  I still think that when the dust starts to settle we'll see a #2 WR signed.  I think that'll happen after the initial rush though.

But what happens when our luck runs out and our rookies actually play like rookies and some even turn out to be busts? That's why we need to sign notable FAs

 

Luck? Try telling Nippleshorts to his face that his draft picks have been luck and see what happens.

Let's sign all the WRs and Oline!!!! Then we can let Cam and Luke and Star and Dwan and Kelvin and Bene and Norman walk cause we can sign EVERY PROVEN FA!!!!

Everyone calm down. We are on the fringe. We don't need to spend all our cap until after we lock up our core players. And if we can't possibly lock up all of our core players then we have a good problem and shouldn't need to sign a ton of FA. Calm down and breathe. The OP is right and that's honestly a good thing.

don't forget he drafted Kugbila and Kenjon in a draft where we only had 5 picks.  Still, I'm glad he's picking for us.

 

I still say that was because he had only been here for 3 months before the draft happened. Kinda handicapped by a scouting dept. that didn't know what the new GM was interested in and was without the old GM who was fired 5 weeks into the season.

 

Hitting on 3 of the 5 picks is a good year for GMs that have been on the same team for 10 years.

      Rookie season being key to uour argument. I didn't at all mislead about the talent Cam had to work with. Kalil was a great center. Olsen was a great TE. Our WRs were probably the worst in the league. Cam still won MVP, we went 15-1, and we went to the SB. Your attempt to bring up Cam to defend Bryce is desperate and clownish. Bryce has more talent to work with and has done WAY less.

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
