Which position to address...

If any, which position do you guys think the Panthers need to or should address after the preseason ends and a lot of players are out on the open market?

I want to believe that our offense is just fine, maybe one Offensive Lineman for depth. Most of my concern falls on the defensive side of the ball... maybe a Safety, and another Defensive Lineman for depth, should Louis Leonard die before the start of the regular season (that's a joke, kind of a bad one, but still a joke)...

I know a lot of people are gonna say WR, but my intention of this thread is not to focus on the WR position because there's a million of those threads... so let's focus on something else other than WR shall we???

DT definitely. Leonard has not been looking good in the preseason and when he looked good I didn't think that was all that great to begin with. #2 would be weakside LB. This way Beason could play his comfort position.

Don't really see the DB suggestion. Gamble and Marshall are two of the better DB's in the league and Captain has been doing great in the nickel package. Add Wilson to the mix and I think we are fine.

DB could also mean safety. Safeties and Corners are all considered defensive backs, just fyi. And we do need more depth at the safety position. I'm not sold on Sherrod Martin just yet, and he didn't even play tonight. I like that rookie, Pugh, though. He's got great down-field vision, hittin' running backs in the backfield like Harris.

WR

Still not convinced. Thats the only reason Jarrett stays for now, because nobody else is stepping up. I'd only keep Smith, Jarrett, LaFell, Wright so far. I'd cut the rest and maybe keep Gettis and sign a free agent. We need a Ricky Proehl. Moose was that guy.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

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

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.

      Good response. In reference to your second paragraph, many Huddlers are just haters when it comes to certain people.
