Honestly this needs to be stickied. Everyday I come to the huddle and everyday I see threads, oh Antonio Bryant got cut, oh we should pick up Vincent Jackson.

Today it was Who'sYourMama.

Lets make this perfectly clear the only players the Panthers sign this year will be cheaper players signed off waivers.

The Panthers are not signing ageing veterans or players that are currently injured or suspended and we sure as hell are not signing anyone that is going to cost us a lot in gaurenteed money.

End of Story.

we can hope, can't we?

they have to be realizing that the offense as it is just isn't going to cut it this year.

i don't expect them to and it would shock me if they did but still it would make sense.

they should have gone after boldin and they should go after housh.

beyond that, i've never really been crazy about the others that have been hyped and didn't really consider them at all realistic options. boldin was a realistic option and housh is also.

do you honestly believe that we have WRs not named smith that we can rely on? i sure don't.

i do think they will improve with smith being on the field and some experience. things will settle down for the young guys but i don't think that it will get a whole lot better.

until we have a legit WR2 across from smith that offense is going to be hurting and it will be the thing that holds this team back.

until they show that they can be better, they have given little reason to believe that they will be. based on what we have seen, there isn't much to be confident about.

Signing a guy over 30 more a couple mil almost never works out.

Boldin would have been nice but Richardson isn't going to sign a big contract in the mist of his stance on players being overpaid. It would jeopradize his entire arguement.

We are trying to develop a young team from the inside out. Why sign a 30 yeard old vet for 2 years when you probably don't have a superbowl caliber team.

I agree then when 89 gets back on the field things will get alot better, but its more of the D focusing more on him, in the pre-season, we basically started rookies at X and Z and that makes it super easy for the D to gameplan for, plus there was no double trouble, when 89 is out there things will open up more and they will get more opportunities, I think LaFell has great potential, Gettis as well, and hopefully Moore can play like he plays in TC come game time, I think we can be a solid team this year with what we have, no need for high priced vet's.

Who knows, maybe if we do well this year with r team on a budget other teams will notice and try the same and in the near future teams will opt for cheaper talent and cry baby vets wanting all this damn money will either take a pay cut from what they want to play or be out of a job. Same goes for rookies taken high in the draft

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By poorboysrev · Posted

      Right...I think they've done really well. No one's going to bat 1000% but they've addressed areas of need and there's no comparison to the overall talent of the team now than when DC and then Morgan got the reigns. This whole season is about seeing how much of a step up can Bryce and this team make. If Bryce can't and last year is as good as it gets for him then at least we have a talented roster for the next guy. I think we're going to be good this season

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.

      IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st.
