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.

      Panthers Blueprint

      It is tiresome for sure. This whole 6 year run is tiresome. I am tired of this team. Really just, can’t stand ownership’s reign and decision making and am worn the fug down by them. And the people who defend their mistakes, year after year. Oddly enough I have optimism, slight but it is there. Not about Bryce, he represents the bad Tepper decisions to me and either will change that opinion or he won’t.  I just have a decent feeling about the Morgan and Canales duo.

      Many of those posters are still around. The ones who compared him to hall of famers in this and other sports. They're just biding their time waiting to see if Bryce will suddenly turn into a great QB. I think the way you frame it indicates the problem. It's either on one side people who as you put it "don't like him" (in most instances impossible to truly know on an anonymous chat board) or people who need to see him with stacked talent to form a conclusion after hyping up as a one man show a year ago. You say there are discussions to be had but if it involves anything remotely on the side of negative instead of the "everything is awesome" end of the spectrum it is met with talk of what some are now describing as a pathological need to be critical of him. As if the rest of the sports world doesn't have these same blunt discussions whenever he is mentioned. If there were truly other more notable discussions to be had right now that haven't also been discussed endlessly we would be having them. We just had yet another uniform thread. Instead the top 2 threads dominating the front page for the last 24 hours since the first blueprint episodes dropped have revolved around the starting QB. That's just the modern NFL. Some people want to shoot the messenger over that because they don't like the banter that follows 🤷‍♂️

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      By rayzor · Posted

      #1 thing you need for any rookie QB (as far as personnel goes) is the OL. Second thing you need is a run game that takes the pressure off the rookie and allows him a chance to grow. run games are just easier to manage for someone still learning the ropes. third thing you need is reliable bail out option receivers who can 1) get open and/or 2) just catch the ball. last year we had none of that in place. this year i think we've gotten together everything that he should have had last year.
