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.

      You don’t even need 1b because Tepper is the only one foolish enough to wheel that deal.    Player wise? Jake’s elbow. JR and Pep getting sideways, no Carruth, Cam’s shoulder, Luke’s concussions, it would be a long list of stuff. You can take it down to certain plays in games. Fox chasing 2 point conversions in the SB would be on my list. RMJr slipping at the end of that same game was not helpful.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Ultimately this just amounts to heavy revisionist history. I mean you aren't talking to someone that just popped out the womb a week ago. I was here all throughout the predraft process. The overwhelming majority of the fanbase felt like this was a fine situation and the best situation for a rookie QB to go to compared to Houston for example. The hype for Young and our "rockstar" staff was off the charts. No one could dare speak cautious skepticism of his abilities or they would be neg repped into oblivion. Only after he had one of statistical worst rookie seasons of the last 25 years did we get this narrative now that his rookie season actually shouldn't count. Complete malarkey if you ask me.

      On the field? Since I guess it qualifies as multiple instances it might not count, but have the damn refs throw some flags on illegal hits to Cam's head in SB50. If that doesn't count, 1A. Cotchery caught it 1B. Kasey keeps that kickoff inbounds. Off the field? 1A. Team is sold to anyone but Tepper 1B. We have the patience not to mortgage the franchise on that Bryce trade. Stroudwpuldve been the better pick but he's not worth it either.
