We've been spoiled for years

We've had the greatest red zone weapon in NFL history in Cam Newton as well as excellent weapons in Jonathan Stewart and Mike Tolbert. They're all gone now. McCaffrey is the best running back in the NFL, but this is his one weak spot as a player.

We need Cam back, or a secondary power back, or a better line, or something.

Agreed, but I don't even think it's on CMC as a weakness...  it's that opponents know Ron and Norv lack creativity so they try to force feed everything through CMC.  And a RB is a lot easier to take away, regardless of how you use him, than a dynamic 6'5" 260 lbs QB.

    • If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
    • I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
    • It is due diligence at that point. Irresponsible not to take him.  Crossing my fingers on this one, he has everything you look for except experience.
