I think we keep 6 WRs this year with Norv at the helm

We better. Could get rid of Smith which wouldn't be a huge deal and would free up cap space but I think he'll be useful for us in the Ginn role this year. Wright got too much guaranteed, he's a roster lock. Shep has to go immediately. Byrd has way too much upside to try to stash on PS and could be our kick returner.

 

Moore

Funch

Samuel

Smith

Wright

Byrd

 

Plus McCaffrey in the slot...

Shepard is done. 

Funch - Moore - Samuel - Smith are locks, IMO.

I think Byrd = Wright but I prefer Byrd due to age.

I don't think they would cut Smith, but his contract is for 2 years, with zero dead money for cutting. Wright has dead money and is here for 3 years. Funch is a UFA next year, so I think the Panthers might have to roll with 6 WRs this year, because Byrd will get scooped if we try to designate him to PS. And then make a decision next year on Funch....maybe cut Torrey in 2019 if Moore and Samuel ball out.

Lol if we cut Smith we will have completed the most worthless trade in NFL history.

Not really. Gave us insurance in case we didn't get our WR. And I still think we keep him this year for sure.

I think Smith stays as well and might end up being the #2 WR and could lead the team in targets while Moore grows.

Reminds me a lot of 2013. Our DL was depleted so we went out and got Star and KK in the draft and immediately made it a strength. The WR overhaul was more of a full year process. But nonetheless, we went from throwing out hot garbage to having a fairly adequate group.

Goodbye, Shepard. Screw it, turn Samuel back into a RB and kick Fozzy to the curb. But seriously, tough decisions coming.  Byrd to Practice Squad?  Shepard/J. Wright/T. Smith even, cut at least one of them...if not two? Going to be interesting. 

I would at least give Samuel some carries from the back field.  Byrd gone, Shepard gone.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
