Or be proactive and complain 

Explain how fans on a message board can be "proactive" in respect to a team's FA decisions after they happen?  You're reacting to things we can't control.  The term proactive doesn't apply here.

Proactively acknowledging that  these players we are signing suck before they even put on a Panthers jersey

If that's your point then it's all a matter of perspective.  They are what they are and we'll see how we use them, if even as starters (which isn't a given).  If they suck, they suck but it ain't no thing but a chicken wing.

I see us backfilling to leave the draft open to as many prospects as possible.  Backfill via FA, build through the draft, maybe get 1-2 decent FA signings every year.

These guys have no patience for that.  It's give it to me now or I'm going to throw a fit.

The Panthers structured the two-year contract of FA OT Cameron Erving to be cap friendly in 2021, counting only $2,240,000 against the cap. It jumps to $7,760,000 in 2022. Suspect OG Pat Elflein's deal will have similar structure. Picking up the $3.55 million in space when S Trey Boston's release becomes official at 4 p.m., Carolina still will have approximately $28 million to $29 million in cap space. Plenty of room to, say, add Deshaun Watson to the roster if the Texans opt to trade him.

Tackle is getting interesting. 

(FWIW, I think we picked up some steals today, and I think Elflein will be solid at LG)

Tackle:  This really seems like the signing we would make if we were planning on moving Moton to LT. Scott was signed--good depth and an emergency fill in if Moton fails.  However, we also picked up Ewing, a first round bust who can play every position on the OL.  Now, we all want that Sewell LT, but if we play Moton there, all we have to do is find a RT--enter Daley, Scott, and Ewing to compete for the Right Tackle job in this scenario. Little does not count unless he found religion over the break.

If Moton stays on the right side, that forces us to draft LT, in my opinion.  Not the end of the world, but not the best scenario.  I want to say Daley kicks in to guard, and I hope we draft one.  That G from Notre Dame kicked some SR Bowl butt, and I like Anderson as a late round G from Tex Tech. 

The key to this working is Moton succeeds at LT---then everything falls into place.

      No lie… to this day, and forever, I’m always still gonna love me some Ted Ginn.  I tell people all the time who aren’t Panther fans so they don’t know - Ted legit was our best receiver during Cam’s tenure here.

      That game made me resign from my position as HC of UNC in my solo football dynasty on NCAA26.

      Nah, what he did in Cleveland was damn impressive.     ain’t no way in hell we (it’s my alma mater) should’ve looked like this tonight.  That was piss poor coaching and piss poor playing.  Like they said, for both teams, this was a similar setting to when TCU played Colorado when Deion was hired.  TCU coming in to play a game against a super famous football celebrity figure with a completely overhauled roster - difference is, Colorado played up to the moment.  We just folded like a cheap lawn chair.  I was joking during the game with friends, like they really watched a whole summer of Gio and Max and decided Gio was the starter?  Hell, I bet Bryce Baker as a freshman is better than Gio.  We hyped that signing of Gio like we just won the fuging lottery, and he is complete ass.  We spent two quarters desperately not trying to throw the football - I don’t know if it’s because he can’t or what?  But there was no excuse for that.  It felt so much like the Rhule years here.  I haven’t seen such a dysfunctional offense since or before.  And then the damn defense…. I asked my friend if they just brought all 70 new guys in from a lab that does arm and leg transplants because did these guys just receive their limbs and are figuring out how to use them???  Because I have never seen a whole team look so inept.  Diving early at feet and missing them entirely, getting trucked, flailing and falling everywhere, peewee league arm tackles, always looking a step slow…  no lie, whatever the worse I could’ve imagined that debut going, take that and make it 10 times worse and I never would’ve even seen THAT happening.  Absolutely no excuse for it.  None.  All the brand power and image brought with the Belichick hire, and that’s the best he could do in his debut.  They brought MJ, LT, and Roy out for THAT???  Man, I spent 7 years of my life living there and i NEVER saw or heard of LT coming out there during that time.  They actually got him coming around to watch THAT. Bill should be fuging embarrassed.  The fuging commentary booth brought a dog in and put a headset on him as Rece Davis said, “the wheels are off, ladies and gentlemen.”  As I said elsewhere - not under Mack 1.0, not under Torbush, not under Butch, not under Fedora,  and not under Mack 2.0, did we EVER look like THAT.  Never.  You bring in a guy that is considered one of the greatest football minds in coaching EVER, and we get shellacked and don’t even look competitive???  Boy I know the boosters are shitting fuging fireballs right now.
