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.

    • Torn achilles.  The reason he was out more than half of last season.
    • When the panthers are bad, we sell a shockingly low number of jerseys, and options become limited. In the good years, we had a lot of different options. I think T-Mac is going to have to play well on the field for his jersey to get produced in the FUSE template. 
    • it's not the only way to be a threat, it's certainly important for certain roles in an offense and for certain type players and offenses.  as is the ability to get open quickly and generate easy throws.   as far as Renfrow goes, I have consistently said he is sort of his own thing and not really in comp w/ others here.  It's a niche role/job.  Anyone talking about something else from him isn't me.  Just depends if we want to do what he does and if he can still do it.  as far as AT goes, yeah, he does lower our ceiling given the % of our offense that goes through him and his limitations at this stage in his career.    He should be a roleplayer, much like Renfrow should be if we want to insert what he does into the O....not an O being run through him.    Renfrow isn't going to lower the ceiling if used correctly.  Niche assignments to move chains.   It's like a short yardage RB that comes in to pick a random play.  Renfrow is best at that 3rd and 4 type scenario IMO. AT lowers the ceiling because we build the pass game off an old WR that shouldn't be the focal point of a pass attack.  Not to mention, Bryce Young is practically tailor made to get the ball in the hands of YAC players.   So you need those type on the field.
