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.

      The Panthers win streak is masking substandard quarterback play

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      He’s been every bit as much of the problem as anyone else. You cant remove him from that fact, he is just as much part of the team and in THE most important position on the field. But this is the first season he’s seen any kind of continuity in his team and coaches. And he’s shown flashes here and there. But we do need more out of him going forward a lot more if we are going to be successful

      Bryce isn’t great and super mid. But I think can be a game manager. What do we think is out there? Daniel Jones isn’t going anywher. Mac Jones? Zach Wilson? Pickett. I’m just not sure what’s out there that is much better without having to give up a ton of capital. Rather take one more step closer to contention with our early rounders next year with FS and LB help. Make this  place where dang they got a defense and a WR1 and solid RB room. I can win with that and want to be here

      Vet QB Options - Trade/Cut/FA Edition

      AR15 is if Justin Fields was fragile and his teammates hated him. No thanks. Ya'll think you hate watching Bryce Young? Wait until your QB can't even complete a 7 yard pass over the middle, which Fields and Richardson can't do. If the draft class was better, I could absolutely see the Titans moving on from Ward already if they got the #1 pick. But so far the college QB's haven't impressed enough. They'll have flashes, but then follow it up with a very meh game. Kyler is already done in Arizona, but he has a ridiculous contract and he's basically Bryce that likes to scramble, so no thanks. If Lawrence can't produce with that team in Jacksonville, what do you think he'll do here? He's tall Bryce who can throw deep but can't make the 4th down throws and crumbles in the red zone. No thanks. I do think Canales wants to move on from Bryce, his body language says so even in wins. He treated Bryce pretty odd this week and Bryce looked checked out in the Packers game. But unless they make another risky trade, its going to be slim pickings. Basically our hopes lie in hitting early in the draft with a Mateer, Nussmeier, Beck type or finding a random backup free agent that has another gear to hit.  I think even with the draft being wishy washy, 4-5 QB's will be taken in the top 7. A lot of teams are just that desperate.
