Which new addition will have the biggest impact this year?

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

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
