When will they pull the trigger on the big 3?

You know who I speak of.....safety, running back, and guard. One of each in no particular order. Hopefully before pre-season. I hope they are not waiting for June cuts just to pick up a bunch of jags. Still a few FA that would certainly help this team. What u got?

 I don’t know that the team feels there’s as big a need at safety and guard as many fans do. So I wouldn’t really expect any big splashes there. 

And at running back, I wonder if they haven’t already had talks with CJ Anderson, but his price tag is a little more than they are willing to pay for a back up. If that’s the case, we are probably waiting until tomorrow or after cuts to find someone to compete with CAP.

They DEFINITELY need a veteran safety. Really the last key position they need to fill. Can't go into the season with what they have at safety or this is 2016 all over again.

I don't see another guard being brought in. They've got a bunch of guys that'll be in the mix at LG already. Sirles has experience, Silatolu has started games at LG (not a great option but he has) lot of hype around Dorian Johnson, maybe they give Larsen a look, Moton will be in the mix. I think someone will emerge from that group and grab the LG spot.

I'm way more concerned about the depth at tackle. If Daryl Williams or Matt "speedbump" Kalil go down, the depth behind them is almost non-existent. Bunch of cast offs from other teams practice squads from what I can see. From the Panthers depth chart it looks like Amini Silatolu is being listed as a tackle. So I'd definitely like to see them bring in a veteran tackle because if Amini is starting at LT, Cam is going to die.

Searcy and Colin Jones have been in the league since 2011 and we know how old Adams is. Are you saying they need a veteran or a BETTER veteran?

    • They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.
    • What does it matter how fast the wrs are with Bryce he is not hitting them anyway
    • Let's be real. Signing Matt Kalil who was at the time inconsistent at best was always an extremely risky move and largely initiated by the fact he was related to one of our most prominent players Ryan Kalil. Memories get fuzzy the longer time passes I guess. Go watch some old Panthers games with Ted Ginn nearly losing us games. Then watch Cam Newton keep going back to him again and again and again. Then read all the Xavier Legette criticism while making excuses for Bryce being swept by rookie 2nd round pick Tyler Shough. Throwing TMac under the bus is just further proof how deranged the Bryce Young defense force has become. Bryce Young can barely compete in this gutter iteration of the NFC South. Let's see him take this WR core to the playoffs in an NFC South with Drew Brees and Matt Ryan
