Your 2011 Panthers Roster Wishlist

For the side of the ball that needs help the most

QB-Andrew Luck, Seneca Wallace, Matt Hasselbeck

pray to god for the Panthers' sake Andrew Luck decides to skip his senior year. If Jim Harbaugh leaves college ball and decides to join us in the pros, that will certainly be an encouraging factor. Seneca Wallace is probably the best backup in the league and keeps an offense competitive in the event of a starter's injury. Hasselbeck i wouldn't really want to start but to give Luck some guidance in his younger years. Keep Clausen? Maybe, but we might be better off just completely clean slating the QB position.

RB-Williams, Stewart, Goodson, Sutton OR Williams, Goodson, Sutton, 4th/5th rd Draft pick, OR Stewart, Goodson, Sutton, 4th/5th rd draft pick.

Eh, I'm kind of open to this. We could re-sign DeAngelo and keep Stewart and have a pretty good core. Or we could re-sign Williams, and try to trade Stewart but I doubt we'll get anyone to give us fair compensation since, after all, RBs get injured left and right and it doesn't take a superstar RB to have a solid running game. Our best bet might be to retain Williams and leave the RB core the way it is now, but given the fact that we have so many other positions of need, we have to look at the option of letting him walk as a possibility.

WR-Smith, FA, Brandon LaFell/Gettis

LaFell and Gettis I see being two good slot threats next year if they have someone better ahead of them. As far as free agency is concerned, two big young names yet to be re-signed are Sidney Rice and Steve Smith (Giants). Landing either of those would instantly turn this receiving core into a secondary's nightmare, however there is the likelihood both of them stay with their teams. Santonio Holmes and Mike Sims-Walker are also potential FA candidates.

TE-FA, Rosario, Barnidge

Since the days of Wesley Walls the Panthers have tried their hardest to ignore this position, treating it as an afterthought and it's time for that to finally end. So instead of starting another marginal Quintus Pfuffnick, peruse the FA pool. Zach Miller is my top choice, but Oakland might keep him. Other upgrades include Kevin Boss, Marcedes Lewis, and Owen Daniels. Retain Rosario as he won't cost much and has a more unique skill set than Jeff King.

Oline-Gross, Wharton, Kalil, Schwartz, Otah, Bernadeau, Robinson, sign/draft Oline depth

Gross, Wharton and Otah will all be here next season. It is imperative we keep Kalil, and Schwartz has been improving steadily over the year. Let him compete to be the full time starter at RG and give Robinson one last shot. Fill out the rest of the roster with a combo of low tier FA and mid-late round draft picks.

I don't care what he is, I just want Luck on the Panthers next year.

The main guys i would like to see targeted in FA:

Marcedes Lewis, TE

Barry Cofield, DT

Ray McDonald or Brandon Mebane, DT

James Jones or possibly Vincent Jackson, WR

Paul Oliver, DB depth

Rex Hadnot, OL depth

Billy Volek, backup QB

    • Bruce Arians said when evaluating a college prospect they have to win on 3rd down and in the 2 min drill to be successful in the nfl.
    • We took Luke when we had Jon Beason, and a hurt Jonathon Brooks when we had Chuba. Just noting.  I don't think teams are going to pass up on an impact player regardlessly if whether they need something else. There's a good argument that drafting an inferior player, and especially an obviously inferior player, based upon need is a pathway to failure.  I'm glad we took Tetairoa McMillan even though there were arguably bigger needs.
    • As much as I'd love Cam or Mahomes I'd also settle for a QB that is at least better than average at something other than 4th quarter comebacks/game winning drives. He's literally bottom third in the league in most categories (yards, completion percentage, int percentage/turnovers, YPA, IAYPA, QBR and QB rating) and right around average in a couple others, notably TD % where he is 15th and YAC/PA where he is 9th. If Bryce can improve I'll be happy with him. But all this stuff about us asking for perfection / insane ability is a bit ridiculous. Most of us "haters" just see a QB that is basically below average over his career to date and has shown relatively little consistency in his third year.  NFL offenses don't need 400 yards every week at all, but they do require a QB that can move the ball, and Bryce struggles often with that (hence why our overall offensive rank is so bad despite an overall good rushing rank).
