I didn't see this posted anywhere....and maybe for good reason.

http://www.espn.com/blog/carolina-panthers/post/_/id/29487/panthers-using-formula-that-helped-eagles-win-the-super-bowl-with-receiver-overhaul

"So, general manager Marty Hurney began the overhaul with a formula eerily familiar to Philadelphia's."

This guy. Says by gettin rid of Benjamin and bringing in an older version of Smith and Jarius Wright, we are doing exactly what Philly did when they brought in a younger version of Smith and gave Alshon a $50 million contract.

I don't know about you guys, I didn't get the OMG-WE-SIGNED-ALSHON! vibe from these signings. It feels a little bit closer to when we signed Domenik Hixon.

lol, no...

We are using the same formula that we used in 2015.  Don't overpay for #1s when you can get a bunch of dudes who do one or two things well and use them creatively to maximize their strengths.

Cleaned that up a little.  :)

Yeah, I think the PHI plug is for headlines over anything related to what they're actually doing.

When you compare:

Ginn/Funch/Cotchery/Brown 

to 

Funch / Smith / Wright / Samuel & Byrd

I think you begin to see the team getting back to what worked best for Cam, the notion he needs all these big bodies due to ''inaccuracy'' was over-exaggerated, Cam's best with receivers that create space vertically, and horizontally, he's a ''sight'' thrower and that's not to say he lacks anticipation; however he's been at his best when his receivers have the threat of speed and can separate.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
