With the #4 Overall Pick In the 2010 NFL DRAFT (Acquired from the Chiefs in a 3-way trade involving franchise tagged Julius Peppers), The Carolina Panthers select....

Eric Berry out of The University of Tennessee.

With this selection the Panthers admit that Charles Godfrey is a bust... at least as a starter right now. Berry will start immediately at Free Safety and shore up a porous pass defense.

We all saw Sunday what drafting a stud DB can do via Jairus Byrd. Think about how much more comfortable Gamble and Marshall wouuld be defending elite recievers knowing that Chris Harris and Eric Berry have their backs.

Sure we will have passed on some solid 1st rd. QBs, DEs, and WRs (which are all desperate needs), but with Carolina's record of drafting and grooming, or lack there of, I think we need to look to free agency to fill that void. The next most pressing need is DE, then WR, and OL

Captain will have taken one of those spots at CB by this time next year. I don't want to even like Captain...as my blood is orange.....but I would rather him play and make mistakes than watch Marshall and Gamble play corner. Marshall has looked bad all year and Gamble has never earned the rep he recently recieved.....AZ will once again show how avg those two guys are.

That would be the dumbest pick on the planet considering we have a QB that turns it over 3 times a game.

We don't need a top 10 pick to get a good QB. We just need a coach who knows what the hell he is doing to make the picks. We could get a quality QB at the end of the first if we could somehow trade into that spot.

I think I may have mislead some of you here.

What I meant is that with our lack of solid drafting and grooming of QBs, we should get one via F.A. That leaves DE, WR, and OL as our major needs left... which we can supplement via later picks.

My major question is where is Charles Godfrey? We need someone who can make plays back there and as I said: Godfrey and Martin SHOULD be backups, Salley and Teal SHOULD be on the practice squad.

Give our team 2 more years and you'll be wishing we took E. Berry

You mean in two years we're going to look back and see this thread and wish we had not only been able to pull off the ridiculous trade scenario you just pulled our of your @$$, but used the pick on the guy you're vouching for?

That's pretty specific, even for hindsight.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
