Look I know its the current thing to poo alll over the panthers think tank, but if you look at the whole WR and TE picture.....They were somewhat ahead of the curve. Three questionable TEs got tagged along with others getting more money than Ian Thomas. Most were either on Thomass level or even below. 

WR- signed Higgins, white chocolate, and came to a decent deal for DJ Moore. This was as the market was going north.

Safety- resign Chandler and gave Woods a decent bag....this is a meh.

Props to GM for the free agency period, thus far.

Hit on a LT at 6 overall and bring back Donte and I consider this off-season a tremendous success. Try for a mid round QB or wait until next off season. Sam sucks but if we build the rest of the team up and can have some success with Sam or whoever then we can absolutely be a player for a vet next year or take one in a much better QB draft.

Here is what I think about today:

1. Signed an all pro punter

2. Signed a DT (3, 5 tech) who can pressure the passer

3. Extended a star WR

4.  Signed an elite Center to play beside the elite G we signed earlier in the week

To me, that is the best day for a Panther GM I have seen since the franchise opened.  If you were to equate this free agency to the draft, the Panthers have signed a situational Running back, a starting Safety, a 2-down LB, a starting RG, a starting C, a rotational DT, an established punter, and extended a #1 WR. 

That is very strong.

I'd say Morgan is the difference.

Fitterer has loads of experience in college scouting but has only somewhat dabbled in scouting free agents (Trent Kirchner was the guy in charge of that back in Seattle).

On the flip side, Morgan cut his teeth doing pro scouting. It's where his experience is and it's what he's known for.

I've said it before but it's worth repeating: The two of them could make a fantastic combo.

I like what I'm seeing but there are many miles to go to attone for last year for everyone involved in the Darnold trade.

I think this scene accurately sums up my feelings on what we have done so far.

      Underdog 2nd year QB preview

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      It dawned on me this morning.... that we have a fan base that can't make up it's mind whether they want to be winners or lovers.  Y'all say ya want to be winners, but ya don't act like it.  Beening a fan since before the first game every played by the Panther, I know this fan base lobes us being then underdog.  "We play better as the underdog." Which in of itself is a loser mentality.  No competitor ever wants to constantly be considered the underdog.  Just ask Steve Smith.  This season, this team is literally the ultimate underdog.  Let by a QB that fits the underdog role PERFECTLY.   This fan base should be going hog wild about being an underdog in EVERY GAME we're scheduled to play this season.  Yet, they have already labeled this seasonnas another lost season.  Which it.may end up being, but who the fug really wants that? Seriously???  I personally, want to see our team thrive. I want them to take it to the NFL. I want to see these guys, Bryce included, to step up and show the NFL that not only do they belong,  but they're bringing the fight to the other teams.   Enough of this lover mentality.    Enough with crying over not having the QB we all wish we had (whomever that may be).

      Measuring last season MUST take into account that Young had no pocket to step up and pass.  If once is going to talk about footwork of a quarterback, one must first address the oline. Does said QB have a decent line. No.  Does said QB have clean pockets to step up into when passing. Again, No.  When a QB is running for his life. his footwork, which is 💯 tied to accuracy,  is going to crumble. Just ask P. Manning.  Cam, ....any QB to EVER PLAY THE GAME! Bruce's football career is based on his accuracy.   It's one of his elite traits.   So, let's, I don't know, see how he is behind a competent oline, with competent receivers.  This fan base is so incredibly stubborn with this kid. They refuse to be unbiased at all.
