Bill Barnwell: Panthers' patience should be rewarded

Having won three consecutive NFC South titles without being able to invest heavily in free agency, you can understand why Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman might not be desperate to hop in now that he finally has some cash to work with. Carolina has $20 million in cap space, but the Panthers have stayed frugal during the free-agency period. They pulled off one of the best moves of the offseason by cutting Charles Johnson and re-signing him, saving $8.8 million in the process.

Given that Carolina came within one win of a Super Bowl title last year, it's reasonable enough to remain conservative in free agency. The Panthers were reportedly interested in Eric Weddle before he signed with the Ravens, and with Roman Harper a free agent, the Panthers could target a veteran safety to play alongside Kurt Coleman. Likewise, with Jerricho Cotchery a free agent, a veteran wideout who can go over the middle and help out as a blocker, such as Anquan Boldin, would make sense too. But these are the sorts of moves that smart teams make on April 15, not March 15.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      5 straight completions in the 4th quarter to get into the red zone and then score a stand up rushing TD and celly in one of the best defenses faces to bring the score within 1 possession against the super bowl champs is "stunned" to you?

      yes, if you read what I said - that was due to his record breaking 245 yard 4th quarter performance in garbage time when the Seahawks were already celebrating. If Bryce puts up big numbers in the 4th quarter, people like you are quick to call it garbage time stats but seem to get selective when other QB's do it because it doesn't fit your narrative.  also, I'm logical enough to admit that Drake is a great QB and his performance had a lot to do with his protection, play calling, and other aspects. The game does not fall completely on the QB. Just like how the Panthers were still in the game vs Seattle until Horn's penalty changed that. It is a team sport, so many factors, players, refs, coaches are involved and it only takes one thing to change the game. the obsession with Bryce is just nauseating at this point and if you pay attention on here, it's the same 10 users quoting and pieing each other. it's super weird and everywhere else you go, opinions on Bryce are trending upwards. the way the season ended, the vibe at the stadium, the performance, should have everyone excited about this next season. Idk, maybe I just look at life and my entertainment outlets differently than others.
