Where will the Panthers be in two years?

Where are the next set of playmakers and core players come from?

Player Development is a huge concern for me....especially two players of note.

Jordan Gross has been a solid but not dominating LT. Yet we treat and pay him as such. Even if his knee and confidence gets back to what we are accustomed to I feel his time is coming sooner than later.

IMO, one key priority is to address the LT position so that if there is another major injury or just bad performance we are grooming a replacement or will replace Gross altogether with little drop off. Even though it has worked in the past, I do not mean moving Wharton over to LT which has been just fine....I like Travelle at LG.

For me, Marcus McNeil of San Diego is a better player than Gross. I would consider going after him while searching for trading options for Gross. LT's command a huge premium and a few team would part with a few high picks for him(if healthy). option B would be to move Wharton and draft or sign a dominating guard.

We are exhausting this on but Wide Receiver is a HUGE problem. I do not mean the No.2 position..I mean by the time LaFell, Gettis and Edwards are getting it..(usually year 3) Smith will be at the end of his contract and considering retirement. We need some of these guys to be a number 1 guy..or get one soon...SOON.

There are other problems...but those two are going to be huge problems...in addition to DT...I COME FROM THE FUTURE..this is the only warning.

Gross has been a dominant LT, just not this year.

He earned his contract.

I never said he never earned his contract...Imjust saying Gross has been a top 5-8 LT in the league for the most part. I m just saying we need a plan NOW to replace him in addition to WR. The rest of the team I am pretty comfortable with.

It is just we are two guys away from being decimated...

We're too busy stagnating to worry about developing anyone. The Panthers learned quickly after they went to the super bowl that teams poach successful teams. They decided it was best to be completely mediocre so that no one would ever try to take their players away from them again. Now we have a big happy family. Hooray for us.

This is all assuming everyone resigns too...just set up for potential disaster. I do believe the front office has done a B+ job over the last few years but this labor move of 2010 is just at the worst timing for our franchise.

it could be the best timing ever for it. we've got to wait and see what happens.

      Clowney released

      By Basbear · Posted

      MHS, You are missing Claudin Cherelus is a LB that's in the mix for the 4th spot. He's been here for 2 years and had a couple injuries. I mean he was a wavier claim and been here for evero system, just had bad luck when given a chance. Jon Rhat is the current leader mainly cause of he is the ST ace. But Id say, Cherelus has the same % to make the roster.  CB has the recent wavier claim of MJ Devonshire a 2024 7th rounder. He's got the good-great combine numbers but he's small size. Still he's in the mix for backup duties, in fact all the non-UDFA are wavier claims.  ______________________________________________________________   Dam shame about Clowney. I view this as a bad move. I feel clowny is well worth the 7.7, even as a backup. He played hard the whole year without help. I just feel he would have helped more than either DJ Johnson or Barno.  My only cope is he's 32 and at any point his miro-knee could force him to drop off a cliff performance-wise. I wanted to keep him around at least until the trade deadline and if no chance at playoff, flip him for a anything. NFL is a meat grinder, no love for locals....

      Might as well. We need to get these rookies on the field and see if they can play ASAP.
