Again my main point in starting this thread was in looking at FA and How can the Panthers best improve this pathetic offense.  We all were hoping for a big name WR, sadly that’s not happening.  But a guy like Saquon will be available and can carry an offense.  The Giants had a worse QB situation than us somehow and he still was able to have success and teams feared him.  I like Chuba but he’s not in the same stratosphere of talent that Saquon is.

 Nobody would complain about the cap implications if CMC was still on the roster, and this brings us close to that talent level at the position again.  It will also be cheaper than CMC was. Let’s face it, if we don’t bring in talent via FA to take pressure of Bryce this year will be just as ugly as the last.  Hoping to just draft guys with the like 3 picks we have is laughable.

Most guys drafted in the second round and beyond are not ready immediately.  Look at Mingo..

I would say 3rd and beyond.

As to your point, why in the world would Saquon want to come here? I imagine that he's going to go to a place where he can help a real contender get over the hump, not come here and help us struggle to be barely competitive. It's going to be his choice. He's already been linked to the Chargers. 

 

Saquon's brain:

Chargers vs Panthers

San Diego vs Charlotte

Harbaugh vs Canales

Herbert vs Young

Is it really a choice? Really?

It doesn't and its stupid. 

If you want to root for names go play fantasy football or something.

Signing high priced FAs makes no sense at all in our timeline, trading anything outside of players also makes no sense.  

Yes the plan is to draft and develop that is how the best teams do it, not by signing a bunch of guys with well known names to stupid contracts. 

I respect your vision, but I strongly disagree. Relying on the draft to fix your problems is just not a safe way to view team building. You need to hit on the draft and FA's imo.

CMC was not trying to play unless he was 100% healthy. Dude quit on us and I won't forget that. Wish him well, but he wasn't all in his time here.


The player we should have kept was Moore. Dude was all in, never complained about QB play. I miss that guy.

Serious delusion here. CMC never quit, period. That was typical Marty/Rhule CYA keeping him on IR when we were out of it. CMC was surprised by the trade and I’ve posted it in here before. Heck CMC signed a long term extension with us. This isn’t like the current Burns situation. CMC and Moore both signed up to be long term Panthers.

He’s right and the bolded is just completely wrong. The draft is the core of team building, period. 49ers lost to the Chiefs. Go look at their rosters, their cores are absolutely reliant on the draft. There may be a couple key FAs or trades, but the core was drafted (including UDFAs).

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
