I see cutting Poe, but don't understand Reid. We just signed him and he has played well.

[LinvilleGorge]

Yeah, let's jettison our former MVP QB struggling with injuries and replace him with... a college QB who has never played a down of NFL football who is also struggling with injuries.

Brilliant.

Crazy thing is we had the chance to draft each of those guys IIRC.  See if Hurney would just draft better we wouldn't have to sign these guys to their "money deals" (first FA contract after rookie deals).

hurney's a fine drafter, this idea that he's not is based in what he did is based in a few bad picks that literally every gm has.

Welcome to the huddle where posters believe certain GMs hit on at least 50% of their draft picks on an annual basis.

If we begin next season with Allen as our starting QB, then I'm turning in my Panthers fan card.

You believe that? Not I. I just know Hurney sucks outside of the first round and that's not saying much.

I dont know where to start....lol

1. Dave Gettleman was the GM when all these guys were drafted.

2. Shelton and Armstead were gone well before our first selection in 2015.

3. Would you have wanted Bell in the 1st round in 2016? He was taken before our 2nd rd pick of Bradberry.

4. Gettleman wasnt a great drafter, we know this.

Come on...think a little

[Eazy-E]

Cut Reid and sign Von Bell for 10.5 per? Good lord you're high.

[GoPanthers123]

Offensive Line is the main area of weakness and I’m not sure you have done enough to improve it

[Moo Daeng]

New staff and go all out on both lines in the first year of fixing this.
