How the Panthers off-season is going compared to the rest of the NFC South

 

Saints having to cut RB Pierre Thomas and LB Curtis Lofton and re-do multiple contracts to re-sign RB Mark Ingraham and just get under the cap, must clear more room to sign draft picks

 

Falcons cutting RB Steven Jackson, WR Harry Douglas, DE Jonathan Massaquoi, and LG Justin Blalock and losing both LB Sean Weatherspoon and DT Corey Peters to Arizona while only being connected to LB Brooks Reed from the Texans while having $33 million in cap space

 

Bucs have $34 million in cap space and like the Falcons haven't closed the deal with a notable free agent, haven't attempted to re-sign DE DaQuan Bowers and DE Adrian Clayborn, and may also be considering cutting DE Michael Johnson and OT Anthony Collins just 1 year after signing them to big free agent contracts

 

Do you think our division foes are imitating our wait and see approach to free agency, or is the rest of the NFC South that unattractive to free agents?

    • the problem is if we're waiting for Cam v2, we're going to be waiting decades longer.  our best hope is that bryce is better than we all think he is and that canales is able to work some serious magic with him and the scheme to help him live up anywhere close to the potential we thought he had. he's a smart kid. we just have to be able to have a situation that allows him to use his smarts.  the truth with cam was that een he had to have a system tailored for his skillset coming into the league. the difference between him and luck (which was the debate in '09 when we thought luck was an option) was that with luck, he could be placed in any offense and it would work...hence the higher floor he had  than cam. cam, though, needed an offense that was built around him to reach his potential. he could have done alright in a more pro-style offense, but to reach his ceiling (which was seen by a lot of people as being higher than luck). i don't think having to have an offense tailored around what you can and can't do well is a problem for people who can develop around them...after they've truly identified what those can and can't items are. we didn't have that last year. i think we have that this year. we want a guy who can carry a team on his back, but those kind of guys are very rare. we don't need to spend our time trying  find that guy, because even when you have them there's no guarantee that they will be enough.  championships are won, quite often, by teams who learn to compensate for less than the greatest QB play. you have a great defense and can protect the ball while wearing out the other defense and you've got a chance.  we don't need Bryce to be superman (despite where we drafted him and what we paid to get him). we just need him to be able to run (manage) a good offense. 
    • The Panthers aren't building a Bryce Young roster. Alabama didn't recruit personnel to fit a Bryce Young scheme. Canales' approach is to build an NFL roster (which they didn't have last season) and then cater his scheme and playcalling to what the players do best. The team is not pigeon holing itself into an offense that doesn't fit any other QB. Their goal this off-season was to provide NFL average or better talent to the offense - period. Very little to do with matching personnel for  Bryce Young's skillset or lack thereof.
