Eric Reid is not Earl Thomas. He lost his starting job last year because he was bad. Y’all need to chill on the overreactions. He made the pro bowl playing behind one of the greatest front 7s of all time like how Coleman was a star for one year. He’s better than Jones for sure but he isn’t some superstar that is all of sudden gonna change games.

he's not Earl Thomas --- but he's such a massive upgrade at the biggest weakness on our team that he might as well be Troy Polamalu

Well I guess it's a good thing we have a good front 7 then... And I don't think people are thinking he's a top 5 safety, but rather that they don't have to watch Colin Jones anymore. The talent difference between Jones and Reid is huge

Look, the Rams, Eagles, and Chiefs are stacked, legitimately. I'd still take one of those three winning it all against the field. However, we can dance with them now, and if the injury luck plays out in our favor as the season goes on, who knows? This moment, right now, is most excited I've been about a Panthers team this early in the season. Ron and Norv better not fug this up.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
