QB: Cam Newton

RB: Jonathan Stewart

FB: Kyle Juszczyk

WR: Kelvin Benjamin

WR: Devin Funchess

WR: Victor Cruz

TE: Greg Olsen

LT: Matt Kalil

LG: Andrew Norwell

C: Ryan Kalil

DE: Mario Addison/Kony Ealy

WLB: Thomas Davis

MLB: Luke Kuechley

Would you have restored faith in Gettleman?

Solid lineup, but I would add a 2nd TE into your  depth chart because I believe Ed Dickson contributes more to helping this team lose games than win. I hope we find a 2nd TE in FA even if they plan on drafting one in April. Also, I think there will be better safety options than Barry Church.

I agreee 100% with you on both points. There is no shot they pay Bennett and I think they look at Cook again, but his playoffs will put him out of their price range. There are better safeties than Church but they will only have so much cap space. In this scenario they are bringing back Short, Addison, and CJ. Also at the same time are brining in Kalil, Jusczyzk, Cruz, Peppers, Captain, and a safety. That is 6 free agent signings.

Not really. I am not a big Kalil fan. I'd rather have Beachum, but honestly I don't know how healthy either of them are right now. Kalil had 1 good year, 5 years ago. Beachum was solid for a few years as recently as 2015 before he tore his ACL. I'd take the chance that Beachum is two years removed from the ACL and can get back to his 2014/2015 form over Kalil getting back to his 2012 form.

Also, Peppers is meh to me. I want a stud DE in the draft or two.

Yea I don't get the obsession with Kalil at all. 

Based off what I've read about him I'd like to take a swing at acquiring Ricky Wagner from B-more if we can afford him. He seems to be a damn good RT. If he could move to LT even better but I'm down for upgrading both tackle spots.

    • Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers. 
    • Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production. 
    • I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
