When Panthers where in a pinch in 2015 season after KB's injury, they looked to the hawks to acquire depth at the receiver position ala Kevin Norwood. The 2017 season has eerie familiarity to SB appearance season where depth is needed after key player is lost to a non contact injury. The defense is looking like its former self and can hold the fort down, but if want to make deep post-season run we must shore up the TE dept especially being a run first team.

Luke Wilson should be familiar name to the Panthers fan who has ruined couple of season with his game winning TD in close heated defensive battles. Hawks have excellent depth with Graham & last year rookie Vannett and would be willing to move him for the right scenario. He is only 27 years old and you can never have enough Luke on this team.

 

TE: Luke Wilson 6'-5" 255 lbs

Or we could just give Dickson a chance instead of throwing it 10 feet over his head every time he's wide open. We could also use our big WR's better and more often. KB and Funchess both proved they can make big catches yesterday. I would also like to point out that Funchess has caught every catchable pass that has come his way, so far.

If Olsens health was that important to our season than we were doomed from the start. If the coaches and FO think Funchess, Dickson, CMC, and Samuel are good as they think they are then we should be okay. Would love for us to sign Barnidge but that's not happening. Besides we'll get Olsen back.

We still need depth behind Dickson, our Big WR's are not TEs who can come in as FB and block for power/zone runs.

We don't need anymore oversized WRs

This.  Unless Luke Wilson is 9 feet tall and has a 40 foot catch radius then I think "the answer is already on the roster"

I love reading these trade for TE scenarios and all.  And how nice it would be have a good TE.  But how about we just get our OC to evolve/adjust.  He begged for more weapons and blamed the offensive failures on lack of weapons vs his lack of playcalling.

 

We just drafted 2 of them.  We have used 1 in CMC.

 

Now it's time to put up or shut up (Or pack your bags if it were up to me)  we don't have a stud TE anymore but we have this shiny jack of all trades slot WR in Samuel.  Just go to more 3 WR sets with KB, Funch, and Shepard in the slot.  You have seen more teams go to this around the league adjusting to this when needed

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
