Should the Panthers make any moves over the bye week?

I say, yes. I still think they are one "good" WR away from being a very good offense. Norwood obviously can't catch anything with a defender on him and Philly Brown is not physically-gifted in any way. 

I bet Duron Carter feels like a fool right now. He'd be getting those plays and opportunities Norwood is, and he'd probably be catching them.

If you think they should make a move, what is it?

Gettleman really knows his way around a D-line, so if he can find another DE to upgrade our pass rush then I'd be all for it. We need more pressure on the QB in a bad way, and especially so now that Atlanta has their passing game cranked up. 

Philly is physically unimpressive to put it nicely, and he's not really a speed guy. What he has is agility, but that's just not enough for the long run. He'll be gone at the end of his contract. WRs are hard to come by, but sure I'm in favor of any kind of upgrade.

Yeah, they should move the Seahawks game from Seattle to Charlotte.

Norwood obviously can't catch anything with a defender on him and Philly Brown is not physically-gifted in any way. 

That's actually one of Norwood's strong points, and Brown is gifted with speed.

Only position I'd make a move on now would be receiver, but because of the time it takes to learn the position, I don't think any move available would make a dramatic difference.  Much bigger than making a move is getting healthy, that is the most important thing for this team right now.  If we come out against Seattle with Kuechly, Cotchery, and Daryl Williams back while getting Stewart, Fozzy, Tolbert, and TD back to 100% we've got a hell of a good chance against them, especially if they get banged up even worse than they already are over the next 2 games.

Yes, trade something for Boldin.  I think his salary is mostly paid and he's a FA next year.  The 49ers know they aren't going to compete this year and may take a low pick just to get something for him.

I think Boldin would compliment well with our speed guys in Philly/Ginn and add some toughness.  Other than that, not sure.

Literally the slowest man in football coming into our offence sounds like the worst idea ever.

That would be Bersin.  Boldin was never a super fast guy, but he has good hands (that we don't have) and can catch it over the middle and take some hits.    We need someone with some dependable hands since it's obviously Funchess isn't that guy this year.

It wouldn't be as bad as you think. Besides Olsen we really don't have a receiver that is a red zone threat 

We really just don't have WRs period. Ginn and Brown are our starting two WRs.  That's not really even a great 3rd and 4th unit.  Funchess has shown no flashes at this point either so that's bad, not really his fault but it's bad team wise.

Don't be down on Funchess or Norwood yet. Norwood been inactive and its not fair to say he can't catch yet. Funchess is a rookie we were spoiled by KB and Funch is doing what a rookie WR usually does. 

I also don't think they've used Funchess well with his skill set. I haven't seen a good jump ball for him like we gave KB all last year. 

If we do something it won't be exciting because even if you disagree the front office believes the WR we have now are doing well enough to win so why break the bank or a draft pick to fix it.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
