The Question is on the Roster

If you go back to Gettleman's comments in 2013, then you will see that his original statement was 'sometimes'  the answer is on the roster. I do not think that we will pursue any of the 'bigger'  name free agent WRs and I am okay with that. 

Do I  think we will win the Super Bowl with our current cast of WRs?  No Do I think we would have,  with Benjamin in the line-up?  Possible but still probably not. While we are trying to win the Super Bowl every year,  I think we are still a couple of years away from getting the roster where Gettleman is aiming for and I don't think he will sacrifice cap dollars or a promising young WR to bring in another vet and hope for instant gratification. 

I think we roll with the killer bees (Bersin/Boykin /Byrd) in an effort to improve the depth of our receiving corps long term but it may hold us back a bit this year. I am still confident we will win the South.

Jesus Christ if I hear "we are still a couple years away from contention" one more time. We have a franchise QB, a MLB that's the 2nd coming of Ray Lewis, a top 5 D and pro bowler TE.. 

What more is it going to take for us to contend?! I can pick out a handful of teams that have the same amount of talent we do that beast year in and year out and consistently make it to the playoffs

Ask yourself that question, because in your predictions you have us at 7-9. LOL

If you read my post I definitely did not say we are a couple of years from 'contention'.   And I didn't pick us to finish below. 500.

Who are your handful of teams?  The only two teams I would consider saying 'beast'  year in and out are New England and Seattle. I still don't think we are at Seattle's talent level overall <close but not quite)  and New England has possibly the best QB of all time and probably the best coach of all time. 

My point was,  I don't think this is the year where Gettleman would push all his chips to the center of the table. He may never take that approach but I definitely don't think this is the year,  if he did.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
