As much as I would love Howard as the answer.

It has to be LT.  We are talking Jonathan Ogden or Olando Pace or Jordan Gross type of LT.

During Jake's time we never talked about it.  Never!! When he went down we had Travell Wharton.  Those were the good ole days.

But it has to be a franchise LT.   If the surgery was successful and Kalil actually pans out.  We may have the answer on the roster.    So if Kalil is good to go. Revert back to adding a Tight End that can block and catch like Howard.

Garrett at DE. Would make our future there bright with him and Mario. Rest of the D looks really solid, could surpass our spectacular 2013 defense if we got Garrett or maybe even Thomas as well.

Travel back in time to the trade deadline in 2015 and give CLE the 1st and 4th round picks they wanted for Joe Thomas. Now he won't leave and they won't trade him. He had 3.5 years at 8.8M/yr. I pounded the table for it then and still can't believe no team went for it. Especially when we knew that 1st would be around 28 or later.

I'm always on board for a safety. Whenever Ed Reed v 2.0 comes available, we should trade all of the picks for him, Herchel Walker style.

Also, I'd really like a professional WR. Someone like Allen Robinson or Jeremy Maclin. Neither is a top 5 Wr, the fastest, or the biggest.  But both are polished receivers that have a mix of speed, size, ability to get separation and ability to run routes... and they can also catch the ball. None of our receivers can say that and I'm not sure the last time we had a player like that... Moose during his first stint and still him quitting on routes left a lot to be desired.

Either of these things in 2015 could have made a difference. Along with a better RT or an OC that can make adjustments when he sees the same thing beating our offense over and over and over and over and over and over again.

Malik Hooker has drawn comparisons to Reed, and yet I haven't heard anything to indicate he is on our radar...ugh

    • I truly do not understand why we rushed him back last season, we were a bad team with an already productive back in Chuba. Brooks looked like he was 60% back and clearly hadn’t regained full movement in his knee and confidence, no surprise he got reinjured. Shame on this training staff, look no further then Chuba returning too soon this season, I don’t care how bad a player wants to come back a training staff is there to protect them. Brooks is a great person and was an amazing player prior to both injuries, I hope he’s recovering well.
    • Brother thanks for sharing and all. Just for a 21 year army guy you sure over used your brain power on this interaction little too much...  Not that's Im taking a side or nothing, Ive never been a bully fan * in extreme deals bullying in needed..... I've heard from smart people in and around Panthers, Smitty needed Angie for guidance BADLY.  I've honestly thought if Smitty was born 20 years later, he should have taken a MMA path and not only would he have been a champion but a humbled good man with or without Angie helping him. He has never took off the enmoureous chip on his shoulder and it has branched off as a stick in arse over time too. Still everyone can not be or act the same with emotions, we are chemical sacks of water and bones. He reminds me of brain-washed individuals that can not turn off the switch. Plus he is high on thinking he's smarting than he is.......its a dangerous combo, but that's mainly what gave him the edge in life to live out the American dream......soooo I dare say change, but its sad at the same time. All those poor women that get involved with narcissistic disloyal men, one of the few times I agree to take what ever form them in court...
    • Completely agreed.  TBH, we have had so many great players that are in my favorite list, and I hate to narrow it down to one, but Cam is it.  Which is crazy, because you would think it would be more of the guys I grew up watching, but no.  Cam was the single most impactful player to ever out on a football uniform imo.  And like I said in an earlier post, I always felt a kinship with him in a lot of ways…  the way he was treated and judged for the off the field stuff in Florida and having to overcome all of that and fight show at back.  And although I am not a black man, I have always been welcomed by and accepted more by minorities, and thus, I know what it’s like to be judged by appearances rather than the content of your character and who you actually are.  I know what it’s like to be stereotyped and written off or mistreated for your mistakes.  I know what it’s like to be held to a different standard while your peers don’t have to meet that same standard.  So I always related to that.  And the way he came in and just electrified the whole franchise, man…  I still think about it often how much it sucks that because of how talented he was, our staff out so much on him and that ultimately cut his career short.  You’re right, there will never be another Cam…  I think Josh Allen is the closest thing we will see for a long time, but Allen is not the running threat Cam was.  Cam could run you over or around you.  That was THE absolute funnest time to watch our team ever.
