First off, let me say i Rarely give my opinion in this manner so bare with me.

Am I the only one who is actually pleased to see the Panthers step up and admit defeat when it comes to special teams? sometimes we forget how much of a role in plays in our games. in several games we screwed ourselves w/ poor kickoff and punt coverage. and in 2009 everything seemed to get as bad as it possibly could. Finally FO has decided to do something. even though it came at a time where alot of Big Name FAs are getting moved, but we can't forget all of these little moves are part of one bigger goal. No, im not jumping up and down or shouting "Super Bowl", but im glad we are doing something important to help our team. now excuse me while i crawl back into my hole... :leaving:

I'm going to wait until they fix all of those other little holes (WR, SLB, DE, DT, vet QB) before I give my appreciation. When JR opens up his checkbook I might.

i have a feeling you are going to be depressed for a while bc that just won't happen. ;) . im not 100% satisfied. i wont be until we win a SB. but im glad they have done what they have.

Special teams was definitely a huge weakness for us last year. While I'm glad they are doing something to improve the team, I don't think they need special appreciation for it. Though it may not seem like it sometimes, the FO is just doing their job. And quite honestly, until they make a true attempt to fill all the weaknesses we have, they aren't doing their job as well as they should.

Going to the point of praising them, maybe not but, to say they aren't doing their jobs just because they haven't addressed every weak position is rediculous.

The season is 5 months away. How can they be judged when we haven't even drafted yet? They don't feel that the WR's in the FA market are what we want or need. I think going young is the right way to go.

After the draft there will be more Free Agents that come available on 1 June. If we don't have adaquate competition at the WR spot by Training camp then I am with you on the "Not Doing Their Job" bandwagon. I personally don't believe we will ever get to that point.

Go Panthers

How many times has a team in the top 5 in annual payroll won a lombardi since the current division format was implemented? How many of those top 5 payroll teams evem reached the conference championship games?

That's why I said until they make a real attempt. Right now, nothing worthy of praise for the front office. I definitely feel like we will address our weaknesses in the months to come (be it through the draft or free agency or trades), but until then, I don't see anything worthy of praise.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.

      Crosby will garner a haul in a trade. I would be reluctant to make that trade because of the following: 1. Our overall roster is awful. We cannot afford to be trading away valuable draft capital. 2. He isn't the best fit(IMO) for the scheme that Evero runs.  I love the player but it would really need to be at a reasonable deal and I think he is likely to garner an unreasonable price if he gets traded.

      BREAKING NEWS: Trevin Wallace out for the year

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      In terms of need, EDGE is currently #1. Our pass rush is near league worst levels. However, I don't subscribe to "need" based drafting. BPA all day.  We do need to dramatically upgrade over Scourton, Jones, Wonnum and Umanmielen. That is likely in the running for the NFL's worst two deep. Not saying all those players are bad, but I am saying 100% of those players are 2nd or 3rd stringers.
