With RFA tenders as opposed to new deals going out to the likes of Davis and Moore it's time to step up in free Agency and grab some talent for our roster.

Kevin Walter, come on down. NFL Free Agents, we've got some of what you want in Carolina, keep us high on your list.

Hurney, let's get 'er done.

I like the idea of signing Kevin Walter. My worry, though, would be the old "Alvin Harper" syndrome. That being that a guy who looks great across from a world class receiver might not look so good in a number one role elsewhere.

With that said, we have a star receiver and we need a guy like Walter. Throw in that he's considered a very good blocker for a WR too. Maybe it would be like having Patrick Jeffers back.

how bout we give up our 1st rounder next year for marshall? :D

Can't do it. You have to have a first round pick this year (per PFT).

We could only get Marshall if we negotiated lower compensation, which probably isn't likely. Add in the character issues he's had and overall I doubt we'll go that route.

When did he look all that good in Houston?

He's done pretty well as a number two, and is sort of a Patrick Jeffers type or a larger version of Wes Welker, if you prefer.

With all that said, while I like the idea of signing him I don't know if he's all we'd need. Bringing him in means Smith is still the number one, and Smith himself believes that should be someone else at this point.

He had 30 more yards and 1 more TD than Moose in a much more dynamic pass offense.

I guess that's doing well.

Moose is at the end of his career, Walter 28.

Anyway, agree or disagree spending one of our limited picks on a WR might not pay immediate dividends this year due to the learning curve WR's often face.

A WR we can plug in and go with game 1 would be a big asset, especially if we have him locked up before the draft and can make selections accordingly.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
