They signed one free agent.  He was a doozy.  They had to "overpay" because they are in win now mode.  The paid a kings ransom for him

 

5 years 80 million  32guarenteed    Thats hefty for a 29 year old but I get why they did it.

If the Panthers can (a big if) address the protection issue through free agency and via the trade market as well, i can see them selecting  Pitt QB Kenny Pickett with their # 6 draft selection.

 I realize that most speculate this is not the year for a bonafide franchise QB to come out of the draft, but each year there is at least one viable starting quarterback prospect.

While no clear-cut prospect has emerged above the rest, Pitt Panthers’ QB Kenny Pickett  will probably be the one to do so.

Pro Scouts contend Pickett spent an extra year developing at Pitt, and it served the him well, which catapulted him into the first-round conversation.

He was highly productive in his final season, flashing accuracy, smart decision-making, and sneaky athletic ability. The Panthers shouldn’t hesitate to select Pickett if he’s still available with their first-round selection if they can somehow solve the current OL problem.

So this opinion is based on "hey this might not be the year to find a franchise QB" .. "But every year there is atleast one"??

How is this a strong draft strategy??

Example..

You have six pots in front of you 5 have poison snakes in them.. Now you don't have to play the game at all.. You can go buy another pot entirely that fits another need.. What would you rather do?? Play the game find the pot with no snakes or just go get another pot that fits just as important need??

For the love of God people.  We have tried over and over and over at using Free Agency to better our line.  It fuging doesnt work.  Teams do not let high end line talent simply walk.  They are too valuable. You have to build through the draft.  Show me one playoff team that built their line through free agency

based on the ESPN depth chart Arizona only has one drafted starter:

And Ppl need to get past this Sam isn't going to be here thing.  If Rhule is here Sam is going to and needs to be here.. If you hire a new Coach Sam will probably still be here.. Them picking up that 5th year option made that a fact.. No matter what you hope for.. Sam is going into TC as the presumptive starter the only question is who's the coach and who's his competition.. But if Rhule is here he has already brought Sam back and has already talk himself in Starting Sam next season.. Which is the best situation for us long term if Rhule gets another season..

Either he fixes his mess with the QB  he wanted or hes fired next season and the next coach isn't handicapped with Rhule QB decision..

I don't have faith in this staff grooming a QB. I wasn't for Darnold but it made sense to get a young veteran QB with NFL experience reading, understanding defenses and could be groomed to run this offense. Well, it didn't work with a veteran, so I don't think it'll work with a rookie QB. 

I thought this staff would be teachers, open minded coaches that adapted on the fly.

Boy was I wrong...

      I really like the way this team is trending. Morgan and Canales rookie campaign saw them do some questionable picks but, they also did some really good things. Especially addressing the offensive line.  Young had such a disastrous rookie season where his confidence was nowhere to be seen.  You can attribute part of this to a terrible offensive line.  So, we focused on the O-line.   We then brought in several defensive free agents that were supposed to compliment Brown.  Once Brown went down those players could not hold the line.  2025 we focused on defense in Free Agency and brought in several good players.  We then added more talent in the draft.  I think we have competition in several areas where Vets are not guaranteed to be starters.  Our offensive line is pretty set with some good backups.  Our defensive line is going to be a war for who comes out to be the starters.  All in All, we are leaps and bounds much better than 2023 roster.  Canales made some rookie head coach mistakes but grew as the season progressed.  He got our QB, who was starting to look like a huge bust, playing with confidence and poise.  Now it appears Young is moving upwards.  Maybe he is a QB whisperer.  After Young started to play better our offense was fun to watch.  Morgan knows football and knows what he wants in his players.  It appears to me that not only are these players he's drafted really good and got great value for them, but they are also high motor, intense players. Our defense, in the past, was always the key to our success.  I think Morgan is building a great defense. I know it is too soon to tell but I believe we may have a tandem that will be around a long time.  It would be nice to see Morgan/Canales be in the same class as Lynch/Shanahan and Beane/McDermott.   I know many Huddlers will overreact, but I truly believe we have a tandem that will be around a long time. TIME WILL TELL. Go Panthers

      I am actually really excited about this kid. One thing that really jumped off watching his highlights was he almost is too fast or almost over pursues. You can get away with that stuff in college but the NFL these guys are stronger and more "slippery".  Little things that can be corrected but he seems to have a motor which is always a plus!
