Brandon Marshal

If the Panthers are looking a number two reciever behind Steve Smith. Why are they not going after Brandon Marshal ? They have been looking a number 2 for about what 5 years now. WTF. This Franchise just will not pay the big money. " we will see how long Stewart and Williams stays.

hopefully Marshall doesn't get a 1st round offer this year and we get him with next years.. or a 2nd and add another..

Marshall will require a big contract. #1 receivers will do that. Since we are in need of a #1 receiver, I don't follow the logic on how we will get around this besides paying for mediocre talent and great character...

plus, he's killed a few people...

Bottem line is that it takes quite a while to develop a great reciever, even Steve Smith. There is a top 5 reciever available in Marshall and he is worth a 1st round pick. At least a 2nd and 3rd. Why waist 2 years developing a receiver that may or may not prodice(In Carolina's case never produces) when you can have one right now?

End of Line.

broncos have said that they don't want anything less than a top 20 pick in this years draft. not sure we can even trade up to that without giving up quite a few picks.

for more discussion....just find one of the other threads on this dead horse topic.

dont get me wrong, I'd love to have Marshall play for the Panthers. BUT, character issues, money(which paying him huge money right before the possible lockout would and will be a very dumb idea), and as a rookie develops this season, we can sign a FA WR next year AND Jarrett is a FA. there are many good young recievers that are already developed enough to be a #2/#1 WR in the future in FA next year...like James Jones who in my opinion is going to be a great WR.

EDIT: another thing, Sidney Rice is a FA next year. I believe he will sign a long term contract with the Vikings, which would put Bernard Berrian on the trade block. Berrian could possibly be had for a 4th round pick.

not really!!!

I still think Marshall will be a Seahawk. The Holmes deal to the Jets will help that along as well. Denver will fold between tonight and next Thursday and there's no way they get a first for him

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
