Best way to describe this team now.. Hybrid of the 2013/2014 Panthers.

I think right now this team is right at the sweet spot of a solid and respectable team. I don't think we are quite as good as the 2013 squad that went 12-4 nor do I think we are as bad and lethargic as the 2014 team from last year.

I would literally put us right, smack dab in the middle of those two teams. In 2013 we had Smitty and Lafell which is miles better than our WR corp now, also had Greg Hardy which ironically enough our D overall might be a tad bit better now. But our offense was way better in 2013 than this year's offense.

Last year we had three Cam injuries.. Accident, ankle and ribs. Rivera's house burning, the HUGE Greg Hardy distraction and losing him and Byron Hell (no that's not a typo btw) 

So yea, ask me to describe this current Panthers squad right now? A hybrid of 2013/2014 which should be good for the 10-6 w/l range give or take.

I'm fairly positive no one asked you for your thoughts on the current squad. No one on this board anyways. You do make it very easy to take shots at you though. So there's that.

People may not be able to see it, especially those younger than their mid to late 40s, but we are similar in anatomy to the Steelers teams that encompassed the Steel Curtain, minus the receivers this year (which is big because it skews our beastly potential in the passing game as well as the running game). If we get that right, then perhaps we can have a good look at a Super Bowl while players like Olsen, Davis and Kalil are still playing at a high level.

It would be nice to have John Stallworth right now.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
