Bold Predictions for this Coming Offseason

I dont think we will trade, at all..but if we do, it will be to Foxy and Denver.

Something like Steve Smith for a 3rd or DeAngelo Williams for a 2nd. I could even see something like The Golden Calf of Bristol and their 1st for our 1st so Fox makes sure he gets his guy.

I just dont see anything dramatic though realistically. We keep our guys, keep our picks and we either do one of two things.

1 - Draft Green and sign a TE like Lewis, Boss, or the TE from Oakland to give our QB plenty around him to succeed while re-signing all of our guys.

2 - Draft Fairley and really "sureing" up our defense under Rivera in year one before we find our QB and other offensive weapons in year 2(In other words, getting Andrew Luck)

Ok, first all this Orton talk needs to be scrapped, why in the hell would we need him of all people...he's avg to slightly below avg at best. This is not so much a bold prediction but my thoughts on what should happen...

1)Tag/Re-sign DeAngelo, he's our best back (keep Stew, and Goody @ 2/3)

2)Do not trade Smith, Rivera even talked about his ability in the PC, it's been stale un-imaginative play calling thats really hurt Carolina

3)Draft A.J. Green, I like LaFell, and Gettis but I can't see them as a No. 1, we need to someone to help stretch the field along with Smith

4)Hire the best QB Coach available, Clausen did what any rookie would do with no protection, or solid running game...struggle.

5)Get us an every down TE, TE by committee DOES NOT WORK. if anything it gives away what the play call is, run/pass.

6)Bring in a vet QB, we need a guy to show our young QB's how to prepare...sign Cromartie, if we're going to play an aggressive style as RR mentioned we need another rangy, press corner with size to play alongside Gamble, and with CM in the nickel I like that group.

7)Finally....get and stay healthy Davis/Otah

7)Finally bring back Ma'ake Keemoeatu, or another big space eater at DT, these undersized guys like Landri, Hayden are to small for 4-3 interior DL. We need big bodies, that REQUIRE a double team.

If we do these things or something to this affect I will predict....

A shot at a WC playoff spot, here's why...NO 28 FA's (Pierre Thomas/Reggie Bush), aging secondary, TB still to me just had better QB play than us this year. ATL's offense is getting older as well, I doubt they have the same offensive success next season.

1. Godfrey is not starting by the end of the season at S

2. Carolina goes 9-7 in Rivera's first season. (too much nonsense being talked about this team not having talent. This team didn't go 2-14 b/c of bad talent. Bad QB play and coaching was it. Average QB play is all this team needs and you can find average QB play).

I cant believe I just read this about average QB play is all we need and it got me excited.:hurray:

It is true though, bring in an average QB and some quality dts and were back in foxball land which worked on occassion. Hopefully rivera ball is somewhat different.

tbh this is why I hope we've got some surprises in store for this draft. wouldn't mind some kinda big move that isn't what most expect (drafting Fairley)...

      The guy has not coach college in ten years and in that span its greatly changed. Still take him over Davis, I want to see the presser and if billy still has fire in his eyes for college non-sense.....plus you know billy will want a multi-million staff.  This is interesting, very....... glad the old guard FINALLY steps aside......

      Processing Blue: immediate draft needs

      By Basbear · Posted

      He's a hard player to rank, cause he is a young NT. I do see his abilities to branch out among the DL. That's the only way for him to land in the 1st, some team has to believe he's got the stuff to play DE or T3.... I just don't see using 19 on him, I feel there should be around 7 players just ranked higher than him for the Panthers team.  ___________________________________________________________________   Now you are a roster nut like me. Im tossing this into fire, I think a good move is to trade UP, yes rare. Just the roster #s tell me 5 rookies and no more than 2 starters will make the team. I feel 5 is magic number.    QB- 2  BY, Pickett RB- 3   Chubba, Brooks(pls), etienne TE- 4   Sanders, Temble, Evans, Draft pick/major/franks/UDFA OL- 10   Walker, Lewis, Fortner, Hunt, Motown, Zavailla, Samac, Stone, Draft pick, Draft pick/Charles/carter WR-  6   Tmac, XL, Coker, Metch, Horn, Tremay   offense=  25 with 3 draft picks   DL-  6   Brown, Brown, Wharton, Ray, Cam, Hunter/draft pick Ed-   5  Phillips, Nic, Prince, Jones, ST/incoom/hampton ILB-   5  Lloyd, Wallace, Bam, Claud, draft pick CB-    5 Horn, Jackson, Thor, Evans, draft pick/CSN/UDFA SS-  4  Scott, More, Ramsom, Sim   Defense = 25 with 2 picks   ST = known 3+o+d = 53 roster   SO I see only room for 5-6 with factoring in UDFA pool. That tells me to trade up! Bonus the 1st+3rd gets in front of TB yucs. Then use one of the 5ths+2nd to draft another target. That's your two starters and use the 4th, 5th and 6th for the development OTs and what ever the best player are at the pick/DB. The last couple years they have added 2-3 UDFA each year, maybe the same this year too. Soooooooo Im normally 95% trade back, but above made me change my mind. I do not want to waive 5th rounder, I feel thats high with players on the bench.    ?? There's waiver claims too, they have done that each year.
