Panthers worked out 4 LB's today

Well we certainly have a need there. 

Losing a generational player like Kuechly and then the complete lack of starter quality guys after Shaq and Whitehead leaves us with perhaps the weakest linebacker corp in franchise history.

The chances of building this unit back up immediately without investing significant draft capital is about as likely as winning the lottery, but hopefully we can find some good special teams and depth guys there we can keep for a few years until we can draft another LB stud (hopefully).

Best case we have a serviceable group this year. Worst case we end up like last year...

I'd rather see this group struggle than the overpriced guys who quit by varying degrees the 2nd half of last year

That's gotta be a big wake up call to the guys currently on the roster. They're obviously shopping HARD for better depth. Probably also a good indication that Chinn is going to be given every opportunity to stick at safety first.

I bet Marty is looking at a couple trades involving LBs, lord help us.... Only great part is that seems one of Martys strong points, finding LBs. I still feel Shaq, Carter, Smith, and Whitehead are ok enough for the 2020 panthers. Panthers think otherwise, I mean Orr seems like a good UDFA too. Feels like Blackburn is the one wanting LBs for ST too.

I certainly wouldn't give up my draft capital to try to put on a band-aid at LB. We need to be in full fledged rebuild mode right now.

HAHA, Im right there with you. Panthers again think otherwise- signing your hero 2 gloves, Anderson, and traded for Okung. They believe already and want to be the best 4-12 in league history.

You know Hurney thinks we are a contender, right?

Rhule does too. I wish there was someone to reach them before all the cap spending. Tepper must have been sold this too.....and he bought it too.

      Yeah, Moehrig in likely passing situations as a LB/DB hybrid role seems like a better approach then Rozeboom/Wallace.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      This thread was a fun re-read, and not to toot my own horn, but I'd say I was pretty spot on with the things I was saying about both T-Mac and Hunter, like eerily so.  I really wish I had kept a bunch of screenshots/links to all the arguments I got into with people over the last 2 years over T-Mac, would just be fun to look back on them and laugh. To your post though, it's wild that any NFL GM couldn't see this being the case as 90% of fans out there could see it from a mile away, it really was just common sense, you can't be a full time 2 way player in the NFL today, and he's a better CB than WR, always was. The fact that they traded a future 1st and a 2nd in that draft to move up to take a CB and part time WR is beyond comical, and even if he ends up a great player, is more than likely going to be looked back on as a terrible trade by them.  Two 1st's and a 2nd to take a CB is just asinine, I'm not sure there has ever been a CB who was worth that, even the peak years of Revis or someone like Asomugha weren't worth that, let alone a full career of play.

      This. The Micah Parsons situation is an anomaly and it takes a moron with a gigantic ego like Jerry Jones to pull it off. The vast majority of these superstar/organization showdowns end up with a massive extension getting inked after a bunch of talking and posturing during the negotiation process with everyone trying to get the best deal from their perspective that they can and then everyone making up in the end - basically the Lamar contract situation. That's the normal process of how those situations play out and why everyone just assumed the Parsons situation would follow the same path but then Jerruh gonna Jerruh. LOL
