I'd like to see it.  I'd love to trade for an established player, potentially an up and coming guy on the wrong team. 

But also wouldn't mind either trading up in the draft, or even down a few spots. Picks 8-15 or so are all on the same level to me. 

 

I'd just like to see something done.  The roster is meh at best right now, with no real improvement in the near future unless they find an absolute gem.  Kemba is who he is, great at times but just decent to good most of the time, SG hole is obvious, MKG is good but will never be an all-around threat IMO, who knows with the kids at PF if they'll reach anything, and Al is Al but potentially on the decline.

"Al potentially on the decline" is the understatement of the century, but I'm with you. I'm not sure if there is a "one move fixes all" solution available, but I just want to see them do something. Going into next season just relying on health and individual improvement alone is not solving any of the real issues holding the team back.

Unfortunately, Cho will probably continue to be way too conservative and trade the pick for Arron Afflalo or something.

I'd like to see them move up.  The Knicks pick is very available.  Cho talks about wanting to "accelerate" this rebuild yet has made no signs of making any bold moves.  I'd trade a future first and one of our young guys (Lance, Kemba, PJ, Cody, Vonleh in order of the ones I'd most prefer we give up) that's not MKG for the pick.

If we could somehow land D'angelo Russell.... Mannnnn 

I wish Kemba and 9 would be enough to get to 4, but even then, one of the Lakers or Sixers has to fall in love with Winslow or Mudiay and take either instead.

How brilliant does Hinkie look? Got the Lakers pick from Phoenix for sending MCW to Milwaukee, and now he can get a huge upgrade in Russell. I wish we thought two steps ahead like that...

      The Evolution of the Panthers OL (2023 - 2025)

      By Icege · Posted

      Several Huddlers mentioned the states of other position groups in the WR evolution thread, so I figured... Why not? Let's throw something about the OL together. Snap counts btw include ST, but JJ Jansen is not included because it would be an insult to the GOAT for him to not have his own thread (which I'm not making).   2023: Revolving Doors Projected OL: Ikem Ekwonu, Brady Christensen, Bradley Bozeman, Austin Corbett, Taylor Moton Week 1: Ikem Ekwonu, Brady Christensen, Bradley Bozeman, Chandler Zavala, Taylor Moton Week 18: Ikem Ekwonu, Gabe Jackson, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen, Taylor Moton Snap Counts: Ikem Ekwonu (1,201), Taylor Moton (1,201), Bradley Bozeman (1,149), Calvin Throckmorton (544), Cade Mays (486), Chandler Zavala (403), Nash Jensen (334), Austin Corbett (261), Gabe Jackson (205), Justin McCray (84), Brett Toth (80, Brady Christensen (79), David Sharpe (24), Ricky Lee (24), J.D. DiRenzo (14) What Happened?: OL Hell. Corbett was out most of the season and then was reinjured shortly after returning. BC only got to play week one (finishing the game with a torn biceps). The interior became a weekly shuffling of overwhelmed rookies, emergency vets, and waiver claims to try and survive the season. BY9 ended up being the second most sacked rookie QB of all time (now third after Caleb Williams' rookie campaign). The team ended up starting 6 LGs and 7 RGs (in total, they played 8 different LGs and 9 different RGs). There was constant interior pressure, missed stunts, and zero chemistry. This was an insane fall off when the OL looked to be a strength at the end of 2022, but there was a scheme shift from a power run game to a lot more zone. Verdict: Icky and TMo were the glue while Bozeman was stuck between a turnstile and a parking cone. These three did their best to be the glue, but there was only so much that could be done with the injury issues and catastrophe that would end up being the coaching staff. 2024: Changing of the Guards Projected OL: Ikem Ekwonu, Damien Lewis, Austin Corbett, Robert Hunt, Taylor Moton Week 1: Ikem Ekwonu, Damien Lewis, Austin Corbett, Robert Hunt, Taylor Moton  Week 18: Ikem Ekwonu , Damien Lewis, Cade Mays, Chandler Zavala, Taylor Moton Snap Counts: Robert Hunt (1,022), Damien Lewis (999), Ikem Ekwonu (963), Taylor Moton (899), Cade Mays (502), Brady Christensen (448), Austin Corbett (292), Chandler Zavala (259), Yosh Nijman (255), Jarrett Kingston (25), Andrew Raym (4), Brandon Walton (4) What Happened?: Solved the LG + RG issues by reuniting Lewis with Canales and paying the best RG in free agency (Hunt). Corbett again didn't finish the season, but Cade Mays was brought back and he filled in admirably. BC played almost every position on the OL and provided a valuable back-up + OL6. Zavala even looked better and more comfortable. Icky continued to show promising development as well, earning himself the team picking up his bonus option. The team churned the bottom of the group a bit, using special teams as a way to evaluate them. Verdict: The team has four of the five OL spots now occupied with true starters for the following 2 - 3 seasons. The results showed on the field as the offense became who carried the team through the season. The team was left in a position to develop depth and find a long-term solution for the center position. 2025: What 2023 Should've Been? Projected OL LT: Ikem Ekwonu  LG: Damien Lewis C : Austin Corbett/Cade Mays RG: Robert Hunt RT: Taylor Moton What Might Happen?: The biggest question mark is obviously the center position and who comes away as the starter? Icky and TMo have been the only constants on this OL, but there was rumours this offseason that TMo has knee issues. Icky is going to be due a payday soon as well. BC provides a high-quality second-stringer at every position, but the team still needs to develop some young backups. Zavala and Kingston both provide depth at guard, but the team looks a little thin at tackle with Nijman and Walton being the next two up there. If the starting unit can remain healthy, especially the tackles, the team can continue to build off of the progress that they made in the second half of the 2024 - 2025 season.

      The Evolution of the Panthers WR Room from 2023 to 2025

      By Panthercougar68 · Posted

      Darin Gnatt made a comment on the Kyle Bailey show yesterday that it’s night and day with all positions since 2023. He stated that you can see the level of competition is much better and deeper because each group now has not just the starter competition but general roster competition which has been lacking for years. You’re gonna see Panther players actually picked up by teams at final roster cuts.
