Next season, whoever the (new) coach is next year faces/needs:

1) FACES: Another Julius Peppers quagmire off-season'

2) FACES: 1 WR worth a dam on the roster.

-- Smitty still has game.

-- Moose is another year older and needs to go

-- Jarrett is a friggin' waste. In his 3rd season he can't beat out Moose...or contribute. Colbert at least had 1 good season before $ucking! No more Pete Carroll reject WRs!

3) NEEDS: A need for 2 (TWO) QUALTY Defensive Ends

-- JP isn't worth the money/draft picks/FA pick-ups we missed out on

- Our 2010 1st Rnd Draft Pick is under-sized /got 'stoned' today. He is a situational pass rusher, and paying next year's 1st round draft pick for him was STUPID!

4) NEEDS: A QB

-- Jake telegraphs his throws, zeroes in on Smitty, and I'm not even sure he knows there are other WRs on the team most times anymore. 30+ yo, Tommy Johns Sugery, 12 turnovers in the last 3 games, relied on Smitty pulling miracles out of his bum.

5) NEED another DT and more depth

yes! nothing like another fan to give up and then decide exactly what we need to do next season. Thank you, kind sir, for figuring it all out. Check back in on the team and us poor saps after next offseason.

also, fresh new opinion on the "Jake stares down blahblahblah". 15 targets went to Smith. He threw 41 times. That's a lot of throws to no one else given that there was a total of 9 different players targeted - literally every possible receiver other than Hoover (who got hurt) and Barnidge (who was 3rd string TE).

But maybe it'd make you feel better to trot Barnidge out there with the game on the line than have Jake see Smith one on one with a guy he'd beaten 8 times already, and should've beaten again.

2010 draft will be full of QB. could b one of the best in years, and we will be absolute dumb not to go after one. the jets made a gamble and gave up most of their draft for a Qb, and we see how that turned out. of course, they were also active in free agency. I agree 100% on Peppers. if we cant get him a deal long term that is cap friendly then trade him, or let him go. we cannot take the hit again next year. isn't it sad that we are already looking to next year?

      Canales Addresses CB position

      By MHS831 · Posted

      https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/06/04/panthers-2025-otas-dave-canales-cornerback-free-agency/84016482007/?link_source=ta_first_comment&taid=6840193aa1ae9c000185ac12 I have been curious about the position, wondering if Jackson, Horn, and Smith-Wade were going to be enough. The reporter asks a good question, especially in light of all the Jalen Ramsey rumors.  To me, the big questions concerned depth players Evans and Bartholomew.  As for the UDFA, I have been waiting to hear about Thornton and Reid, but there does not seem to have been a lot of urgency to draft a CB or bring in a free agent.  Morgan basically re-signed Jackson and locked up Horn.  A few highlights from the article: Canales mentioned Evans, Bartholomew, and Thornton by name.  He seems satisfied that Evans and Bartholomew are the key reserves.  Thornton, based on reading tea leaves about his comments, has flashed, but might be on the outside looking in.  Personally, in the limited action Evans and Bartholomew played last season, I was optimistic, and it seems Canales feels the same. He mentions that Smith-Wade is playing inside and outside.  If he steps up, that is good news.  It seems as though they really like Jackson because Canales seemed to focus on CB depth in his answer.  Coaches have to be careful answering questions like this one--If the coach mentions your name, great, but if he does not, it hurts morale.  If he says, "We'd like to upgrade the position" it can also hinder motivation.   Canales did not mention SDSU CB Mike Reid. IN RELATED NEWS I recently read that the Canales likes the battle between Ransom and Richardson for the other safety position beside Moehrig.  Not sure we will be upgrading that position at this time. Remember, the DBs play better when the front 7 plays better. PROJECTED DB ROSTER ENTERING CAMP CB: Horn, Jackson, Smith-Wade, Bartholomew, Evans--Practice Squad Candidates:  Thornton, Reid S: Moehrig, Ransom, Richardson, xxxxxx- I expect Henderson, Gifford, or Thomas (all UDFAs) will battle Scott for the final safety position.

      Richardson availablity is hindering his development. I liked him as well and thought a good QB coach could help him.  I am glad they didn't take my advice. 😀
