As of today, are the Panthers better or worse?

Too early to tell. I'm not overly concerned about the loss of Star. It's time for Butler to get a chance to show he was worthy of that 1st round selection and I think we have a serviceable space eating stopgap in Kyle Love. I'm more concerned with the loss of Norwell. Is Moton kicking inside? If not, are we planning on adding a stopgap OG in FA or are we going to depend on the draft to fill that spot? Surely to god Amini isn't the answer. If that's the case, we're worse off.

I like the trade for Smith. He's the type of dedicated deep threat we sorely missed last year and we got him for a terrible CB who we were likely ready to give up on anyway. His contract looks like an absolute bargain after seeing the insane contracts that have been thrown at marginal WRs this year in FA.

Breeland is definitely an upgrade over Worley/Seymour in a secondary that desperately needed upgrading.

Bree and Star are close to a wash in my view. However losing Norwell is a much much bigger loss than Smith is a gain. But in terms of value I think the decisions on all 4 of these players were necessary.

 

Stew is not a loss at all by the way. Even if we don't add anyone and just have CAP, we're better off at HB.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
