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?

      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.

      Center/Interior Line at 19

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      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.

      Not unexpected: Panthers raise season ticket prices

      By toldozer · Posted

      Season tickets aren't affordable anymore definitely when they've been so bad for 8 years before last season. When I started going my seats were front row uppers for like 38 bucks. Those seats are 100 dollars now. Teams make their money from tv, if I was an owner my goal would be to break even on tickets and concessions.
