Yep, just read it... nothing new really. Brooks pretty much just sums up our offseason so far, which is information we all pretty much know already. Although, I liked his insight to the wide receiver position battle... he seems to think Lafell will beat out Jarrett for the #2 spot. Which, I'm not completely against. I'm rooting for Jarrett, but to have two burners, and one having height over defenders would just be down right wonderful.

Which leads me to the 3 day passing camp where Fox focused on 3 and 4 wide receiver sets. Does this mean we're gonna change our offense all together? Will it be some form of run 'n' shoot??? I watched an old episode of "Friday Night Lights" (the tv show) and in that episode, this guy was trying to convince the coach to switch from a west coast style of offense to a spread or run 'n' shoot style of offense, and the coach replied, "You've got to have the right pieces for that kind of offense." Which makes me ponder... do we have the right tools for a run 'n' shoot kind of offense now?

Lafell: 40 time: 4.58 40 low: 4.50 40 High: 4.67 (http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dsprofile.php?pyid=57233&draftyear=2010&genpos=wr)

Dwayne Jarrett runs a 4.62 40-yard dash

Should I add more?

Are you trying to say neither one of them are burners? Cause 40 yard dashes mean nothing in the NFL once you're on the field. It's a great measuring tool, but most NFL coaches will tell you that it's all about the speed once they're on the field, in pads, going against a defender. And when I watch highlight reels of Lafell, he definitely shows potential to become a burner in the NFL. We all know Jarrett isn't a burner, but a damn good possession receiver, which is still a commodity that the Panthers are looking for out of the bunch.

I love how more than half of the Panthers' fans don't have confidence in their team and their players. Just baffles me as to why we have a team in the first place.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
