Which new addition will have the biggest impact this year?


Captroop

Recommended Posts

Between not having a first round pick, much cap room to work with, and returning 20 of 22 starters, we haven't really made any uber-impactful additions. So, I ask you, Huddlers, which new Panther, be it a draft pick, free agent acquisition, or scrub, do you think will step up and make a big impact for the Cats this year?

I'm betting Kenneth Moore. He's liable to be the only WR not named Smith or Muhammad to dress on gameday. Granted we don't use the slot receiver a lot, but when's the last time we had a decent slot receiver? I think Moore can fill a role that been filled since we had Ricky Proehl, and Proehl got his share of spectacular plays. Between his likely contributions as a receiver, add that Moore will probably act as a return specialist at some point during the season. I think he's going to make the Lions regret giving him up

I'm gonna have to say Goodson. Even if Stewart gets healthy and is in full form, the guy is threat in so many ways. He has great vision, eluding tackles. He can catch out of the backfield and get upfield. Obviously returning as well. He is going to add a new dynamic to this offense that will confuse defenses in the early weeks. I agree that Kenny Moore has the potential to have a big impact as well. I'm very happy with his development (much of which can probably be credited to Steve Smith as much as the coaches). I'm optimistic that he'll show he is capable of being a number 2 WR for us in 2010 and beyond.

munnerlynn on defense and goodson on offense.

overall munnerlynn.

Bold prediction. I like it!

And I didn't even think about Moore eventually working his way up to the #2 WR. I guess I figured they'd draft someone next year to fill in as our possession guy for Muhummad. Can you imagine two WRs with those kind of quicks starting opposite each other? Like DHB and Chaz Shilens in Oakland, either burn their man deep or pull the coverage downfield to open room underneath for our TEs. I might be drooling

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
