We need to do both. Get a quality stop gap and draft someone to mold behind them. Let's face it, there seem to be no Day 1 starters at LT in the draft. Need a solid vet and develop someone behind him. If we're going to get back to the playoffs, we can't have both Oher and Remmers as starting tackles.

I don't think we'd have to trade for Peters. I think if he fails to renegotiate, the feeling is that he will be released. I may be off on that, but I remember researching available OTs for us, and came across a few Philly papers/blogs that mentioned him being gone this offseason because of his contract. 

I would take a 34 year old Peters as a FA and then draft another OT later in the draft to groom behind him. I do wonder how much worse Riley Reiff would be though.... he's 6 years younger. Would we rather have 2 years of Peters or 4-5 of Reiff?

Wouldn't necessarily be mutually-exclusive moves, and Peters could (and probably does) have a few quality years left. Get the starter, develop the younger guy, add depth, gain draft and FA flexibility.

Depends on his value.  What is is contract worth at the moment?  He has lost a step so just like Whitworth, he would have a value to the Panthers but not sure it would be in a trade.  Probably wait till he is released and hope the Charlotte area would help get a small discount

      Great point.    I would lke to add that there is another QB on the roster who was terrible over the middle--Kenny Pickett.

      I don't think this is the year for Carolina, unfortunately.  I think they will have to make a decision on the QB position-all we know is that Bryce has year 5, but a long term deal has not been signed--yet--and they would be smart to take a "wait and see" approach.  I have not kept up, and I see a path to upside for Bryce, but I do not think we have aggressively pursued a QB when our QB was mediocre to worse than mediocre.  yes, his numbers are improving--but he has adapted by eliminating what he does poorly and not improving on what he does poorly.  Just my take and I have no data to support this view.   Basically, we go as Bryce goes, so the approach is not to bring in a QB to have him compete until we find one, but it is to make Bryce as good as he can be--is that good enough? Season ticket holders buy the hope of winning rings, not winning 8 games. Last year, Bryce had a resurgence.  Take away TMac and Rico Dowdle.  How good was he?  I still have hope.  Not a hater of plan A, but a hater because we have no plan B.

      Yeah man, I've been here for a very very long time. Couldn't even begin to tell you what year. Maybe 2004 or 5? I've never really been super active, just enjoy reading everyone's opinions and discussions. I'll chime in from time to time. I have had a few different accounts over the years. It's always been a fun place for me to check in on my favorite team. Hopefully we can keep the place running for a long while still. I also would like to recommend bringing back the Lovely Ladies page!
