NFC South team needs

“Carolina Panthers

Quarterbacks: The Panthers will head into the 2010 season with Matt Moore as the clear starter, barring another free-agent signing or trade. Carolina released QB Jake Delhomme. The team likely will add a veteran player to back up Moore.

Running backs: They added depth behind DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart by drafting Mike Goodson last year, so this position won't be a priority. Carolina also drafted its fullback of the future, Tony Fiammetta, in 2009, and cut Brad Hoover in March.

Receivers: This has long been a position of need for the Panthers. Muhsin Muhammad is an unrestricted free agent. He turns 37 in May and Carolina might be ready to move on. Finding a talented complement for Steve Smith could boost the passing game.

Offensive line: Carolina could use more depth throughout the offensive line, particularly at guard and center. ORG Keydrick Vincent is an unrestricted free agent and most likely will be allowed to depart.

Defensive line: This position is one they will need to address this offseason. While the Panthers re-signed DE Tyler Brayton, Peppers has moved on to Chicago. Depth at tackle is also a concern after the release of Maake Kemoeatu and Damione Lewis.

Linebackers: Weak-side 'backer would become a need if RFA Thomas Davis, who is recovering from a torn ACL departed, but he likely will be re-signed.

Defensive backs: The Panthers aren't expected to alter their collection of corners and safeties much this offseason. Starting CB Richard Marshall is a restricted free agent, but he has been tendered.

Special teams: Changes aren't anticipated at punter or kicker, but Carolina's special-teams units were pretty poor last season, so some new blood on coverage units and at returner would be no surprise.

Summary: Figuring what to do at defensive end in the post-Peppers era will consume the Panthers in the coming months, but finding a threat to pair with Steve Smith at receiver is major need as well.”

The remaining 3 NFCS teams are listed as well.

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
