Remember when we all thought Brandon Lafell sucked?

Well, he does... Yeah he'd be better than Bersin, Shep and Clay but still not ideal. Hopefully Sam and Byrd can stay healthy and we can add some more talent at wideout in the mid rounds of next draft to compete, but we'll also need a proven veteran like we had in Cotch. Crabtree fits the bill.

LaFell took off career wise after he went to the Patriots. 

People really underestimate the impact a particular team ,system, coaches, and culture affect players. The Browns have players who would be game breakers for other teams, but being on the Browns they look like poo. 

I dont think the Panthers have an ideal system for any offensive skill player to flourish with any real consistency.  And the owner established a culture /mindset of conservatism thats led to franchise mediocrity and an inability to be consistent winners.

Remember when we had a first round WR who has more career yardage and TDs for us than every WR on the roster combined? I do but I sure am glad we’ve got the 21st pick in the 3rd instead. Who needs WRs these days?

This is where we should spend our time once the season wrap up

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
