Moves to improve from last season.

In order for us to get over the hump I feel these moves or SOME of these moves (obviously we won't do all of them) need to be made in this coming FA period.

1.) Eric Weddle - would clearly shore up the backend of our secondary and would be a huge addition. This seems like a marriage guaranteed to happen.

2.) Janoris Jenkins - I could only imagine how unreal the combination of Jenkins and Norman would look. Problem is Jenkins wants to get paid and play as a #1. But let's say Gman had a plan of landing Jenkins for CHEAPER than what an extension with Norman would cost next offseason. It would be interesting to see us let Norman walk next offseason and use the difference between Jenkins and Norman to keep our defensive tackles intact next offseason. To me keeping Star and Short is more important than Norman as much as I love him here, and Jenkins would be a great backup plan.

3.) Ladarius Green - He's VERY athletic and can block... He obviously wants an opportunity to be a number 1 Te after being in Gates shadow for years. We would have to sell him on the fact that in our offense him and Olsen would both essentially be number 1s and used in tandem almost every down. I feel another TE is a must for us to progress from how we finished last season. Having a dual threat TE to go with olsen is huge because we can leave one in to block and help the tackles while still not taking away from the passing game. 

4.) Lamar Miller - How can the number 1 rushing offense possibly get better? The answer is PURE SPEED. Lamar Miller would be an X factor for our offense, and would look amazing in the read option with Cam. We are in need of speed in the back field. Don't get me wrong Stewart is a phenomenal between the tackles RB, but our backfield does lack break away speed to keep the defense honest.

5.) Anquan Boldin - This move to me seems long over due and I felt we should have traded for him when the 49ers did. That said at this point in his career he's not a number 1, but is obviously a solid upgrade over Cotchery (who is not coming back). Also underrated is his blocking ability and in our offense to me that is more crucial than his effectiveness in the passing game.

These are my top 5 options in no particular order. I personally didn't include an offense line move because I feel we will be addressing that some point in the draft along with DE. Let me know what you guys think, would you be happy with these moves, or do you have some other guys on your radar?

Yeah, I can almost guarantee none of these dudes are in charlotte next year. Every single one of those dudes want to get paid more than we are willing. So unless one of those guys just gets NO interest from teams for a week, they won't be suiting up for CAR next season.

 

Doesn't mean I wouldn't want them to!

Boldin would probably take a fair deal, actually.

Not sure about the others though.

1. Scott Chandler

2. Louis Delmas

3. Pacman Jones

4. Reggie Bush

5. Jared Crick

That list is at least more reasonable. We could not even afford one on the other list except maybe Boldin.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By Icege · Posted

      "If only Bryce were <height>", he'd <insert stupid thing here>" was the bit and in direct response to multiple posters ridiculously blaming Bryce (and only Bryce) for the punt returns vs. New England. :3 I understand that folks desire balance, hence the "Bryce stans vs. Bryce haters" narrative but it's abundantly clear that the only people going into threads just to talk about Bryce are the haters. Meanwhile, daring to disagree that Bryce was completely at fault for something that happened on special teams gets the "stan" label. Shoot, I'm sure folks lump me in as a Bryce stan (Brycen stan? Absolutely. Bryce stan? Nah) just because I have the audacity to look at what the rest of the team is and isn't doing. 😛

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ Walker is the only QB in the Tepper era the Panthers managed to find wins with.  Only QB w/ a winning record.    PJ had success in pro ball before the Panthers.  He he had NFL tools.    He just is consistent and unreliable.  PJ Walker is what you call a bad/poor man's gunslinger.  He can provide highs and lows both virtually guaranteed.  He is NFL depth.  Bryce Young hasn't proven to improve a teams chances of winning better than the PJ Walker tier of QBing. PJ Walker can do things Bryce Young can't......and that a problem

      There isn’t but the thing is the team/system/staff around the QB ultimately dictates how successful that QB can be. You have Baker getting released midseason here vs playing like a MVP on another team. Darnold on the Jets/Panthers vs Vikings/Seahawks. Geno Smith on the Jets vs the Seahawks vs the Raiders. Mac Jones is looking as good as Purdy on the 49ers. You have to build a roster, culture, and system for these guys.  Obviously the QB has to be the leader and help elevate the team, but we are seeing what moving a “bad” QB to a stable franchise looks like. Daniel Jones might be doing the same but it’s too early to tell.
