Would like to think Gettleman is creating a roster built for the long haul, but there is no time like the present.  Strike while the iron is hot.

This team doesn't even have Kelvin and still has some bad contracts weighing it down.

It could be argued that, with another solid draft next season and possibly getting rid of CJ's cap number, the Panthers could be a stronger team on paper next season, even though it's highly unlikely they steamroll through the regular season again. Playing the AFCS and NFCE has really helped in that regard.

Honestly, what division isn't 'down' this year?  Only 4 of the 8 divisions have 2 teams over 500, and the Bills and Jets are both 5-4 in the AFC East. Every team has plenty of opportunity to be better than they have been and Carolina is one of the very few who has actually done it.

Dilfer just said Arizona is the 2nd best team in the NFL, behind the Patriots. Remember, this is the very same team that lost to a Landry Jones-led Pittsbugh squad.

ESPN being prisoners of the moment? I'm shocked.

That loss was bad but they are much like the Pats in that it's difficult to find a weakness. They are a very well balanced team with probably the second best coach in football right now. 

Carolina's strength is that they know who they are and have the personnel to overpower opponents leaning on that identity. Whether they can get away with that in the playoffs against a more tactical side like Arizona is the million dollar question.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By strato · Posted

      I agree.  I don’t think I have ever been accused of being a Howell fan. No more than fan of some other random QB.   But I watched and I saw. He has some talent. Maybe I didn’t watch close enough to see his weaknesses.

      We signed Lloyd

      By strato · Posted

      He is a pit bull when it comes to that.  And after he missed out last year on Williams, it seems he is trying a different approach, looks like. Don’t hold back. No half measures, because someone will come and full measure your ass. Close the deal. He left a little opening for The Patriots last year.  He closed so far this year. Of what we know about.

      Steelers sign RB Rico Dowdle

      By strato · Posted

      They have been doing the mercenary one year RB now for a little while. Foreman..  It works pretty well. You can find ball carriers. The passing game trips a lot of those guys up. Pass blocking, route running, they have a lot to know.    Rico wasn’t a great pass blocker but he got in the way most of the time. He is a really good pass catcher.     He’s tough. Needs to find out why he was cramping late in the games. If he can fix that maybe can step up even more. Wish him luck. I think he’ll do well.    If Brooks can be something, what a bonus that would be at this point.  I really believe they went for him because of his extra layer with being a good receiver. And we need more of that with what we are working with trying to move the ball.
