Obviously, many of us still think WR is the weakest position on the team, and rightfully so.

I'm guessing Martin would be the first guy let go for another WR if we brought one in, or the guy closest to the cut line at any other position.

Here's my best candidates so far:

Matt Jones

Desmon Briscoe }Both from Bengals

Troy Williamson } Jags

Jason Hill } 49ers

Demetrius Williams } Ravens

Marko Mitchell } Vikings

All I got for now...

Although some fans have been calling for the Panthers to add a No. 2 receiver from outside the organization to help Steve Smith it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen.

In fact, Hurney seems content to stick with what they have. The plan is to develop the young receivers they drafted.

“A lot of people I’ve talked to in the fan base are excited about our youth and the energy it brings and watching the development,” Hurney said. “Everybody has different opinions but we feel good about our team in general and the young players we have and their skill level. It all begins next week and we’ll see how it goes.”

I don't understand why people keep calling for the Panthers to bring somebody in from the outside.

Do you really think that Housh is going to get the invite to come over and play after we cut so many players that were 30+? Teams adhere strictly to their philosophy, and Fox definitely sticks to his guns.

Not happening. We've got 6 on the roster. Between DJ/LaFell/Gettis, we're bound to find a #2. I wouldn't be surprised if Armanti got a little bit more action as the season goes. I would be concerned if we were a pass first offense, but we've got DWill and JStew in the backfield. If they're not getting it, Smitty is. The TE's are getting more love in the pass game as well, so that's another group to compete with in order to get touches. Going out and spending money on old hats when we've already got some perfectly ones that need to be broken in chilling on the rack is a bit... silly?

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

      By cranky · Posted

      Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers.

      Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
