Two months ago, that we would lose Kelvin Benjamin for the year, and be without Luke Kuechly for week 2, and that despite that we would still start the season at 2-0, I would have said that you were crazy!

Yet, here we are sitting at 2-0. It's a true testament to the metal and depth of our team. Sure, it's hindsight to say we have played ailing teams that don't appear to be too good, but we could be 0-2 and we're not!

 

Heres to keeping this thing going. Let's force the brown paper bags back out of the closet down in New Orleans!

Agreed on that. If there's one thing I like about all the complaints I'm seeing around the boards, even though we're 2-0, is that we're FINALLY at a point where we, as a fanbase, expect to win these games. Not too long ago, we were content with competing. Now we expect great things.

This is so true, in the past this team wouldn't have beaten teams they "SHOULD HAVE" beat and we would have been on this board making excuses about how we would be 2-0 if not for the injuries.  The depth that we have built is outstanding and only a few more positional units that could use an upgrade in the depth department.  If we can get the receivers settled this team could be one of the better teams in the league.  A few more drafts with Gettleman and the problems will more than likely be addressed, unless there is a physical specimen such as Shaq.  In which case we take that guy because you dont pass up a ball player for a need on a player that may or may not be what we need.

      Didn't know where to post this but it is panthers relevant since eventually we'll have a couple wr in Coker and tmac that will get paid. Jaxon Smith-njigba just signed a 4 year $168.6 million contract extension that now makes him the highest paid wr in nfl history. For now

      Would be happy with Lomu or Iheanachor at 19. Fano is intriguing but I don't think he makes it.

      Tony Pauline: Panthers will strongly consider Kenyon Sadiq if he’s there @19

      II see it this way: We have to look at long-term needs and current depth.  We have filled some key spots with players on one-year contracts.  I firmly believe that they intend to pay Bryce some big bucks next year.  That means you cannot hope that your rookies in 2027 can fill the spots vacated by the veterans you could not afford to re-sign.   We need to consider the cap and the fact that the need to start a rookie is not viewed as a positive by coaches and general managers, but they value first contracts--so it is a delicate balance. I think they have to look at the cap by position--"Can we afford a $50m QB and a $100m OL?  That is half the cap, before you pay your WRs and RBs and TEs.  They need to start getting younger on the OL as well.   I am not suggesting that we draft OT in round 1, but we could and I would get it.  RT on a 1-year deal, they may have intel about Ickey (who was not the best LT, to be honest) and 32-year old Moton is on a bad wheel.   Now if you go by Morgan's history, you can almost tell what position we are going to address with the first pick by noting the positions he has not focused on in free agency.  DT, considering the lack of performance by those not named Derrick Brown and the loss of Robinson, is screaming to be addressed with a top player.  Wharton is not an early down DT (DE if you want to get technical) and our LBs need to be clean--they were not in 2025.  Look for a DT early. I also think we will address ILB (pass covering Will) on day 2.  The other day 2 pick will be an OT, in my view. Do not rule out CB.  We are thin there too, and Jackson is in his final year.  I am not sure that we love Smith-Wade.  Some crackhead on here talked about moving him to S----stay tuned.   Hopefully, a team wanting Ty Simpson will move up and offer us a pick or two to move back. DT WILB OT OC QB  (you heard it here 337th--but this pick could come sooner than you think.
