If we knew for a fact we were gonna have a legit defense I would say do it for one year. Defense has too many question marks and the potential to be sub par to think we could try to win it all this year though. Owens has calmed down and all we need is some legit #2 play and this offense will be beastly....and he could do that. Did it in Buffalo with his mouth shut.

if a team is a #2 WR away from a Superbowl squad Owens makes sense. If not, teams should stay away.

I used to hate T.O. and the thought of him being here would piss me off. Now, not so much. His skills along with attitude have both decreased. Couldn't care either way. Wouldnt be bad to rent for one season

I would not want T.O here simply because I would not want him to take up a roster spot.

On the other hand, another veteran WR could be nice, especially if he would take the time to mentor some of our up and coming talent.

But we would not have that up and coming talent on the roster if we bring in veterans. What a lovely catch 22.

On a side note, I still see us bringing in another DT befor the season begins. Might not be big name, but we love pulling in players other teams discard. With the talent that was at DT and CB in the draft, could be some value out there after teams cut to 53.

I feel the same way but from looking at the Panthers moves lately such a thing would be a luxury. Steve Smith will have to be that guy. He has already stated that he'd be up to the challenge.

Good thing about that catch 22 is that we do have young talented players to speak of.

I don't really see the harm in it. He knows he's not a #1 receiver anymore so that should settle the dispute with Smitty. Also he seems much more mature than in earlier years. The Panthers are betting all their cards on Jarrett and Armanti to step up, why not have a little insurance and bring in a proven vet?

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
