Biggest transaction

   I know it won't be easy, but what addition do you believe will affect the team the most THIS COMING SEASON? Not in the future, but right now? And why do you believe that?

   I would have to say the addition of  Ginn. He fills two roles that we were lacking last year. No matter how good the defense is, we could give it right back with a mistake on punt returns. I truly got sick to my stomach after third down stops. Field position really had a lot to do with our success in 2013. We put our team (offense and defense) in a position to succeed. That wasn't the case in 2014. 

   Also, he provides much needed playmaking ability on offense. Once the ball is in his hands he gets a returner's mentality. He can take any pass the distance. Even when not making a play on the ball he stretches the field, this should open up passing lanes for Cam & co. Ginn is also surprisingly useful as a blocker, just ask Lafell. Ginn helped break a 70 yard or so TD reception vs Minny. I've also been wondering what Ginn could mean for Brown. I doubt there is anything Ginn could teach Brown technique-wise that Proehl couldn't, but Brown could probably benefit from watching Ginn in practice in some way. I believe people are underestimating Ted. Hopefully NFL teams will too. 

   Although it may not seem that way to the average NFL fan, the Panthers' staff has made some quiet moves that may not remain quiet for very long. These under the radar signings could make the difference between a struggling 7-8-1 team and a 12-4 one. However, we immediately know what we have with Ginn in this system. So what you guys think? Who do you feel was the biggest addition?

I would honestly say that the biggest transaction wasnt a transaction at all.

It was not touching CJ 20 Million cap number. Now he is able to be cut next year for a LARGE savings on the cap (if he needs to be cut) ... He is still worth the money right now.

The Defense: I think the biggest transition occurred in 2014 when we finally got healthy and let the youth of this team play.

I don't think it was a coincidence when Bene, and Boston started we started winning.  Now they just need to grow,

The Offense:  I think we have 4 tackles that can play.  Remmers is going to have to fight off Williams and I believe Oher is going to anchor down the left side well and prove once again Gettleman knows what he is doing.

Oher...now does a healthy Oher reunited with Matsko necessarily mean he will be able to reinvent himself into a serviceable (kinda good) LT is the biggest unanswered  question of the offseason 

and the best offseason acquisition would have to be Ginn imo. because i can't ever remember a time besides last year in which i iterally cringed at the sight of opposing teams punters on the field.

Im going with oher, hes an upgrade over bell . Alot of people want to knock on us for having him at our left tackle but they are forgetting we had 2 worse starting tackles last year and that oher was hurt .

Oher has a great chance to turn around

I can get down with Ginn as possibly the biggest (outside of extending Olsen).

 

Kick returners are essentially useless in today's game...but having a legit punt returner back will at least scare some teams and keep them honest. Not seeing Bersin call for a fair catch and pray to God he doesn't drop it is a huge upgrade...for my sanity and our field position.

    • So you believe that Levis had a better day throwing deep because one of those was a TDs? Asking for clarity on that as it was already clearly demonstrated that Bryce would've had a TD had Moore not dropped it in the back of the end zone. The entire purpose of their metric is to look at the throw and grade that because the QB has complete control over it. That was made abundantly clear from the video provided prior to that. Nobody is trying to manifest him as a top-10 player. He had performances during his return from benching that measured in the top-10 in different metrics. The issue at play is that because those stats support Bryce's progress (and refutes that his ceiling is his floor), that you and other people that don't care for Bryce being the Panthers' QB are going out of your way to either a) ignore factual data, or b) cast uncertainty on the methodology. There's no actual interest in stats and facts like as you mentioned previously. All of the non-PFF info, like passing yards in a single game, is also not entirely reliant on the QB. That's one of the points that Jimmy has hammered home but y'all continue to try and sidestep: that the ability to throw deep relies more on elements like timing rather than physically having a howitzer for an arm. Yes, arm strength does play a role but let's not be coy: the entire narrative that Bryce is not a capable deep ball thrower is 100% rooted in the same reasoning that folks had for thinking he wouldn't survive an NFL hit... bro is too smol. We have plenty of data (AND film) that show this. Whether or not the people that don't want it to be true stop clinging to what they want to believe instead is up to them.
    • This isn’t a bad deal for the right people. Sure not everyone has that kind of money to burn. But $10k for everything including all travel (that includes a private flight), lodging, meals, tix to the game? Meeting former players? It’s a lot of logistics that if done solo would take a lot of time to coordinate. When I was younger I spent my time to save money, and now I spend my money to save time. 
    • Displays of luxury spending like this are the only thing that will wake up the poor peasants currently shouting at each other. At least, that's my only way to optimistically look at this trash.
