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 showed you last week how quickly he moves when he sees an area of need. 

 

What does that tell you about the WR position? 

WR and DE aren't exactly the same position in terms of needing to learn the ins and outs of the playbook and being able to plug & play.

Get Healthy. We're actually good at WR. Some of us have been calling for Brenton Bersin for a few weeks now.(And I cant be more happier for the guy.) Getting Jericho cotchery back will be huge for this receiving core.

I really think the moves we need to make are within the team. IE: RB rotation.

This is some homer-esque bullpoo. You do understand the lack of WR depth in our offense right? As soon as we play a legit #1 corner in Seattle everyone is going to witness how much of an issue this is going to be to overcome if we aspire to get a lombardi. I'm not saying that our D can't win this next game in Seattle; Or even that we can't pass on Seattle. Rather, having someone that doesn't demand double coverage aside from a tight end is going to make point scoring against better defenses an issue. We're going to have 8 in the box all game and a tough time running the ball. Hopefully our defense keeps putting our offense in these great positions, but J-no shouldn't be able to put up touchdowns on a consistent basis like this. Hell, I'm for it, but the lack of quarterback talent has padded his stats and how formidable of a corner he is. Given, he is clearly clutch. But, he still has a few things to prove down the stretch. If we get a legitimate wide receiver next to Ginn this team becomes scary. I like the idea of Boldin. I would even like the idea of TO, despite being 41, just because of how big of a body and how consistent his hands are. Philly is a quality backup for Ginn. Bersin is a great rotational player that still has room for improvement. I actually like all of our receivers sans Norwood (I haven't seen enough to make an accurate opinion about his play and fit for this team), but if we want a superbowl, we should definitely make a move for this offense. A WR would be given the time to get caught up during the bye week. Addressing the upcoming four games, teams would have just one more thing to prepare for.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
