The man that should be our top target in FA

The Panthers have a big gap in talent offensively compared to almost every team in the NFL.  Ideally a stud WR or two would be attainable but looks like that’s not happening.  There is one (maybe 2) players that could change the Panthers offense drastically.  A player that can take pressure of Bryce, and be a focal point for defensive schemes.  
 

That player is Saquon Barkley.  I know paying RBs is frowned upon, but Having a RB that can both run/catch at an elite level like Saquon immediately changes the offense.  We have seen what CMC did for our offense.  Barkley carried a terrible Giants team and Canales clearly wants to run the ball. He isn’t shy about saying it.

 I’m not saying it will happen, it probably won’t, but signing Saquon Barkley would be the most impactful signing the Panthers could make on offense going into this year especially with all the WRs staying put.  You have a QB on a rookie contract, now is the time to load up on talent and take a chance.  
 

Also don’t even mention Miles Sanders as a lesson in signing RBs he isn’t in the same stratosphere of talent that Barkley is, Fitterer is a moron.

Sure. Right. Just after almost 30+ years of overpaying RB's we should do that again.

Wonderful idea. Thanks, Marty.

Tell me one other FA skill player that would improve our offense more than him?  Don’t say Ridley he’s suspect, the only other guy is maybe Josh Jacobs who is also a RB.

I would have loved Pittman or Higgins but it’s not happening.  You gotta improve somehow this may be the best way to start.

Brother, if you can't understand how little any RB in the NFL(CMC included) is going to help us win, I can't make you see it.

Gee, maybe the one winning season in five should have been a hint but I guess not....

Have you completely missed the Panthers entire history where one of our consistently biggest mistakes is over-investing at the RB position?

There's about 5-6 RBs available at any point during the draft that would be just as helpful and would be cheaper and last a hell of a lot longer.

      Can we all admit it now?

      By electro's horse · Posted

      That's also in an era when DBs could press for 10 yards, Qbs could be hit, QBs could have players land on them, incidental contact could be made with the head etc. You can't compare bryce to players like this. What you can do is say who's done less over their first 30 starts and had more resources dedicated to them and at that point you're looking at like Joey Harrington.  At least with Joey there weren't morons in the fan base falling over themselves to compare him to players from the first year of the NFL merger.

      Brees had a pro bowl year in year 3. Phillip Rivers was drafted anyways and Brees went off for two more years before his shoulder was completely torn up in the last game of the 2006 season.

      Fly Over: Would this happen or is this fanbase too far removed to care?

      By ElkinPanthersFan · Posted

      The last time this franchise was in this much despair pre Tepper, the rumors of the banner flyover were met by the front office. They quickly worked with the disgruntled fans to quell any potential negative event occurring at the Stadium or TV. The real question is do we even have enough fans that care to get together behind a movement like this again or is our fan base too far gone that we dont care to revolt like this? Personally, I still go to games each year no matter how terrible it is, but it has went from something I spent all week looking forward to almost as enjoyable as yearly physical. We can count the blunders this franchise has made in keeping Head Coaches, General Managers and players too long. (Rivera,Rhule, Hurney, Fitterrer). Team wise we've missed out on Herbert, we didnt trade Burns for 2 1st round picks, we reached by taking Bryce who would have most likely been were we were going to draft anyway, and extended players who constantly underperformed like Ian Thomas. Even when we are gifted a chance like 2 first for Burns that we shouldnt have paid premium, we fumbled a chance to really jump start the franchise. So this is more to everyone as a whole. How much of your Soul for this team is left? Is it still there that if there was a glimmer of hope, you'd come right back or has the futility of this team negated your love for football completely?
