We should seriously think about trading Funchess for a competent Guard.

While Funchess is probably our best WR at the moment and he could play a big role in what we do this year it want really much matter if we can't keep Newton upright. With him going into his final year of his contract right now we need more line help than WR help with young WRs like Moore and Vets like Smith and Wright. Hopefully Hurney will notice this and swing a trade for a starting Guard this season. If not let's just watch rewinds of 2015 and forget we will be sitting at 6-10 this year with more than likely a injured Newton.

Naaaaaah, man. I'm looking forward to our group this year. We can find a guard easier than an X receiver.

I just don't believe in developing young players, seeing them coming to fruition before our very eyes and jettisoning them before reaching the finish line (particularly out of perceived desperation).

Maybe a tackle but definitely not for a guard. 

No one would make that trade for a Tackle.

Hell no.

And what good guard is being traded for Funchess anyway? 

That's the bigger question but we could actually get a starting Guard for him. Cam Newton has multiple weapons this year besides Funchess who will likely be gone via FA next year.

Lock thread. You want a repeat of 2014? Can't trade the only wr Cam has chemistry with.

Olsen? McCaffrey? Byrd? Besides the fact we have Smith, Wright, Thomas and Samuel coming back at some point.

Like who? 

It’s easy to say what we could get without naming the player, but who are we gonna get for him?  Keep in mind we’d have to be able to afford them as well.  So now it’s a matter of finding a guard who is:

A) Good

B) Good enough to make it worth trading Funchess

C) Afforadable

D) Who a team is willing to trade

I would be shocked if there’s a guard out there who fits all those checkpoints.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      Well, the whole rationale used  for the high IQ point guard is it would allow us to spend our resources elsewhere….instead it’s all our first rounders ever since to support the bad pick.  Reality is our front office is just bad.  If you wanted Bryce Young you were going to need to do something unique and special for him.  Instead we just insert a QB with traditional tools into old NFL concepts that pair with traditional talent and our pass game is whack

      Good to see some other folks are speaking the same language on this. It's simple common sense. But it seems like there's a disconnect due to the misplaced value the team has put on Thielen because he was the only vaguely good veteran WR willing to sign with the Panthers after we traded away DJ Moore. That time has come and gone. We have two first round WR's on the roster now.

      Yeah I’m turning this into a Bryce can’t play QB thread. Just stating that offense was a poo show two years ago. No QB is succeeding in that, much less a rookie. I feel like it’s become a common debate strategy on here to just jump down the rabbit hole of saying he is just bad in so many ways when any certain point gets countered. If that doesn’t work we can deflect to how poorly this team has been ran. In regards to the actual point we are debating, the OL was struggling, half of the skill players aren’t on a roster, Mingo has done nothing with his new team and the staff are either not coaching or on their 3rd team in 3 years, aside from McCown (I liked McCown too). Honestly about as bad as it gets. No need to try to state how good of an offense it was billed it because that has been proven false at this point.
