Panthers quietly getting strong in weak areas

[MHS831]

At the beginning of the year, we were  concerned about:

• Safety
• Cornerback
• TE depth
• Defensive End
• Left guard

We were sad.  Then this happened:

Safety:  We get Reid, a 26-year old, former first round S.  ( hope we lock him into a longer deal)

Cornerback:  Bradberry has been better and Action Jackson leads the league in interceptions. 

TE Depth:  Olsen goes down, Thomas has stepped up well for a rookie.  His blocking has been solid.

Defensive End:  Obada.  We need more, but he is playing at a high level.   With Obada, Addison, Peppers, Horton, Cox Jr, and (soon) Haynes--we are solid.

Left guard: We thought it would be Moton, feared it would be Amini.  Nobody saw Van Roten coming.  Doing a solid job.

 

Now, if getting Reid gets Torrey going, and if we get Samuel back,  and if Moore starts getting more targets---we will be happy.

Seriously, this. These are championship moves...About time.

Yeah it's mind-blowing that our team will now make the logical, sensible, easy moves. Thank you Tepper!

Ain't nothing quiet about signing Eric Reid. This move is going to get us a lot of attention.

Already has.

We'll really turn the corner if we don't come out of the bye kinda flat like we typically do..

Lets get one thing straight, Kaepernick refused contracts with more than one team. He doesn't deserve to start anywhere based on his history. 

[Khyber53]

I've been telling you, don't worry, the Panthers have got this. 53 is a very important number and we will have the trophy to prove it. It's going to be a grind, but these guys can do it.

Let's enjoy this!

This is the key point.  JR never would've backed this signing, which is why we never won a Super Bowl with him.

Quietly---Cap wise.

No big moves, major trades, huge contracts.  Of the players I mentioned (Jackson, Reid, Obada, Van Roten, and Thomas)--we might have $8 m in cap.

[KillerKat]

Now to cut Torrey Smith and get someone that can get open and catch.

Yeah 8 mil might even be over what all those guys are

If we don't come out of the bye week and smash the G-men, there is no excuse now
