The defense is old and the Oline is Falling apart .. Im good that they are trying to avoid a rebuild they should be doing..

That they are.  And to some degree have been doing for a few years now.  It is reminiscent of the Hurney era here, that every year we "were only a couple of pieces away" except we 1) never seemed to acquire the proper pieces, and 2) partially because of #1, we were always a little further than we thought.

They may be hoping he can successfully make them a scavenger, like Tampa was this year.  The division is bad, and given the Bucs situation, if we don't improve (and identify a QB) and the Falcons don't improve, they can win the division.  That's a lot of IFs. 

They look to me like the Titanic.  They have hit the iceberg, have water rushing into six compartments, and they are trying to stay afloat by addressing one compartment at a time while the ship is sinking.

I'd have been much more concerned had they magically found a way to draft a QB, filling that gap on a rookie deal.

Exactly.. The team should have been on rebuild mode when Brees and Payton left.. Bit they refuse to do this and the cap magic they do isn’t for a Super Bowl contender but barley winning a bad division now.. This will blow in their faces and they have set themselves back atleast 6 years now..

This will finally blow up when Loomis retires. Dude is a cap manipulation god. Until then, it just is what it is.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
