Panthers to sign Miles Sanders

[tecc86]

Id rather pay Sanders 6m a year than overpay this weak FA WR class because "we need a #1 receiver"

Can't remember a more active offseason in Panthers history. I sure hope all of this works out because the recipe they are working on is looking great so far!

I don't care how you get one, but you have to get a WR #1.

You can't draft a rookie QB 1st overall and pay an RB 6.5 million and not give your top pick a #1 WR.

I know we can't get a #1 for the same 6.5, but we could have used that plus a little more to have signed someone who could have fit the bill and then drafted an RB in the 3rd round to go along with a cheaper FA option.

Again, I like landing Sanders, behind our OL he should be real good, and I don't hate the contract as long as we get a #1 WR this year, if we don't, I'm not going to be so thrilled about it.

I keep seeing a few people say this and I disagree.  The number 1 thing you need for a young QB is a good Oline, check.  2.  A good run game, check 3.  A TE that can catch and block, we can now check that.  WR are great and all and I would love to have a number 1 but, look at KC, who was their number 1 receiver?  With 2 number 1 WR Hurst still was very respectable.  All over the league it's the same, we don't NEED a WR1 in the rookie QB's first year, we NEED players that are going to help build confidence while they are getting use to the speed of the game which typically doesn't equate to many scenarios where they sit in the pocket and wait for a 50 yard play to develop...that is year 3

Of course you want a great WR. Everyone does. I could see the argument for having a smart veteran receiver who knows what to do and where to be. I can see picking up an older WR somewhere

Duce Staley talked in his presser about needing "a stable" of runningbacks these days to keep the wear and tear down on the individual backs.

I know. It was a joke post in reply to @Basbear

Really need to find that WR though…anyone. Just looking at the depth chart is a complete joke.

Yep.  Obviously this FA pool isn’t ideal.  But we got to address the fact our rookie QB needs some legit help.  Shi and TMJ are very young and are still developing.  Shenault more of a gadget and schemed up guy.  That’s not really helping a young QB. 

I take the Jags are the perfect or similar sample.  Yeah, they probably overpaid a less than ideal Kirk and brought in an experienced Marvin Jones Jr.  But that was big for a young QB even though they didn’t knock your socks off.    That made a huge difference for Trevor.  Obviously, TE too.

It makes us better and the eagles worse...Perfect!

Not really considering they have one of the best O-lines.They havevthe luxury to plug another RB in that spot.We need to get to that level on O-line.

But this is a good signing for us for sure.

Freak athlete entering his prime say less! Hopefully the contract is reasonable 

Not sure how long you've been a Panthers fan but running back contracts and reasonable are not two things that we usually hear. 

Now if we can get Foreman to also sign, we may have one of the best running back tandems in the NFL.
