The CJ Anderson trade gives me hope that Fitty and Rhule can fix the Oline this year.

Speaking of O-Line :

packersb_logo.gif Rick Wagner, OT, Packers. Age: 31. star.gifstar.gifstar.gif
Rick Wagner played very well for the Packers last year, but he was released because of financial implications (Green Bay was $11 million over the cap.) He is still a solid starter in the NFL.

What does everyone think?   Kick the tires or not?

I think they would rather have young guys with upside with coaching.  Older vets are only stop gaps at best. This far into the season is not the best time to bring in olinemen if you want them to start right away. Anyone brought in now would not start right away.  

We will be better off starting the rookies if it comes down to immediate need due to injury. 

I can't see them shelling out big money on a backup vet.

I plead posting pre coffee. Now go away.

Pre-coffee Posting Syndrome is a serious condition that afflicts 12,000 Huddlers a week.  That's why I try to pause and employ some compassion and charitability every time I read a post on here that makes me go "Wtf??" (roughly every 27 seconds, on average).

After the CJ Anderson trade I am not putting it past Fitty and Rhule to pull another one off at some point, say maybe trading Shi Smith (gonna have a hard time getting the ball thrown his way as much as he deserves being the 4th WR) and Daley ("Sure he looks awful on tape (insert some hapless bottom dwelling GM's name here)

 

Why not throw in Horn and trade all of the Panther Gamecocks?

So much harder to improve the OL during the season than other position units except maybe QB. Absolutely no one is looking to trade starting quality OL. At best you’re looking at a high tier backup being available and that’s basically what we have now. We are also out of 2022 picks we could reasonably trade for someone that is a good player unless we move our 1st which I’m pretty sure no one wants to do.

CJ is also a very unique situation where the player was disgruntled and things weren’t working out which made him available for cheap. Normally a guy like CJ would take a 1st plus something else just to not get hung up on. There is a somewhat similar situation available out there on the OL. Isaiah Wilson was the 29th pick last year and unemployed. However, his issues are are several orders of magnitude beyond CJ’s.

Ideally we need a C.  The middle is weak.  Irving is not the weakest link on this line unfortunately.  The answer for the G's are ****hopefully**** on the roster.  I think changing the C out mid season would be nuts unless it's someone who's been with us since training camp - though I don't think tecklenburg is the answer there.

Are you saying you would not trade your rookie late round draft pick 4th WR as part of a package for a starting quality OL?

I'll give you time to consider your answer carefully.

Why would anyone give you anything of note for a guy that's not played a down in the NFL?

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
