I know that we may suck right now, and as much as i tried to fight the thoughts i had an idea we might be 0-3 going into the bye week. I really do think we are going to come back with 3 straight wins against easier competition like the Skins, Buccs, and i think the Bills, to go to 3-3. Anyway i know everyones all upset about not having a first rounder next year, and im here to tell you its not the end of the world.

The draft isnt the end all, be all of the offseason, there is a Free Agency period thats just as important. We are going to have a ton of cap room ( in comparison to this year ), and our *new* head coach is going to upgrade this team how he see's fit through FA. Theres not likely to even be a cap, so we can essentially spend as much as we want if Jerry is serious about winning in Carolina. But we still must spend wisely. We will still have an early second rounder if we continue to suck, and hopefully we can get a play maker on defense on the Line or in the Secondary our 2 weakest areas.

We wont have to use big money on a first rounder who could essentially be a bust, and we could even trade into the 25-32 range *without* giving up a first rounder next year if theres a player we really want ( hey Beason went 25 )..So all is not lost, and just think, 49ers basically lost there first round pick this year, so we had to be the nice guys and give them another shot!

It's still too early as i said, i see 3-3 on the herizon, but it wouldnt be a bad idea to just peak at who might be available next year in the capless FA market..

E.Brown is our first round pick for 2010. Maybe he'll learn a lot this year to justify that pick at least for next year.

Still, it might hurt if we "could have" had a top pick, but don't get to make it. I know how it's expensive and all, but still...it's fun to imagine getting a player like Ndamukong Suh, or Eric Berry.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By ok2h8pep · Posted

      Would Morgan or Beason have been HOFers' if injuries hadn't derailed their careers?  I was not a close watcher of the game when Morgan was in his prime but I thought Beason had a few seasons at close to Lukes' level of play.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Franchise QBs feast when things are rolling and the tide that raises boats when things are going sideways.  Bryce isn't that. He's a complimentary player, that's it.  When the defense and STs are on point, he plays loose and it shows.  When we are in a dog fight and things haven't gone our way, he struggles.  It's that simple. He's not a horrible QB, but he's not top tier either.  So the question begs, is this worthy of a second contract?  The answer should be no.  It definitely is my answer. Bryce will never be a QB that can produce wins largely on his arm.  That's a FRANCHISE QB, any other QB is simply a placeholder at the starter's position until that guy can be found.   At some point the excuses of lack of weapons will be a straw man.  Heck, it's nearly there now.  I mean if he doesn't look even better than last year will we blame it on the TE position?  'Well if Bryce only had a player like Kelce, Kittle or Gronk on this team...'  Are we really going to do that?

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By MHS831 · Posted

      When I arrived at college, I was 18, not too much younger than some of these draft picks.  It was not a huge school, but there were guys on the team who were 21, 22, 23....playing ahead of me.  I was seventh on the depth chart.  Those guys have been through a few seasons, were stronger, more knowledgeable.  I was a better raw player than some of them, but those other factors matter.  As I grew stronger, more familiar with the playbook, and learned what it was like to play in college, I gradually improved and with that, I rose up the depth chart.  It took most of my freshman year for the light to come on.  Had the coach thrown me into the starting lineup day 1, I would have probably failed.    And that was college.  So I agree with you based on my experience on a much lower level.  Frankly, I think that is why so many kids drafted to fill huge gaps bust.  The teams are desperate.  Anyone who looks to fill vacancies in the starting lineup through the draft is desperate.  You draft depth to develop.  For this reason, I say, "Let Walker start for a while."  Maybe Brazzell can be our WR 4.  Throw Hunter into a rotation and ask him to do one or two things.  Freeling needs some strength and he needs to work on run blocking.
