Something else I thought about was how last year during the draft everyone thought we were a perfect landing spot for clausen bc we had a decent team around him...now they are saying that we need several starters at multiple positions.

Also as far as the draft I would love to fill a huge need like defensive tackle but think about this...sue didn't help the lions turn it around (although they were much better than their record) but in two years Freeman has completely turned around the bucs who honestly aren't glaringly different than us except for QB and DT. Just goes to show how important a QB is. I also agree with zod, the lack of a free agency and resigning players kills us. I wonder how many people would still want newton if we could land a guy like Orton through a trade?

We fixed one problem already. Getting a staff in here that has clue. I have always admired John Fox and will always respect him but 2010 I don't think he really gave it his all. Clausen, Edwards and even Hardy and Norwood should have had all his backing but didn't. I agree with J.R. we have alot of young players that need to play. You don't keep drafting young talent and then keep with the Vets.

I think Fox had Clausen out there without a whole lot of backing. A Head coach that didn't give a crap, an offensive coordinator that could coordinate a Pee Wee Team and a bunch of injuries shot 2010 from the getgo.

Rivera being a former player will demand and get the respect from our players. I like the SD offensive theme.

Clausen should get the opportunity to win the starting position but I also don't think he should be given the keys just because he was the last starting QB. If we bring a vet in and he pushed Clausen and wins the job, so be it.

I believe Clausen has the tools to be the man. Chud's and Shula are going to turn him around and we will win with him.

IMO DT is our most deperate position. QB a close second. If we address these two in the draft or Free Agent, either way as long as we address.

The media has always been on the NFC least Jock, NE, Indy and anyone that has T.O. Out 1 out of 10 reports on the Panthers is done correctly. All the others are nothing more than stealing stuff of the Forums.

We can with a couple breaks be back where we were in 2008.

That's the worst thing right now about the CBA. In years past we would start to know what our team will look like by now with contract extensions and the upcoming free agency. This year, who knows. If we lose Johnson, Dwill, Smith, Kalil, then yeah we in need of 6 or 7 starters.

Not to mention that we don't even know when or if the Panthers will be practicing. That is down right terrifying when you just hired an entirely new coaching staff for one of the youngest teams in the league.

We don't need to fill multiple(6-7) positions. Those are the talking heads talking out of their ass. The basic needs are at QB, and DT, and I guess you can make the argument for CB(if Captain can't do the job). Fill those and we are in contention. Getting a dominating RG, or a sure fire WR would help but both are secondary.

Our offensive line will be healthy and then we can kick Schwartz back to RG where he is good. Gettis and LaFell should be pretty decent options next year, plus we have yet to see AE's skills. You also have to factor that the new offense will actually make use of Mike Goodson and AE as legit receiving options, same goes for TE.

      Deebo wants out of SF, and our current odds are high

      By frankw · Posted

      This is from 5 months ago. It was one or the other. Trade for one or draft one. We apparently called the Jets about Wilson. We also talked to the Seahawks about Metcalf. Drafting our own guy was the best course of action given the required investment. Regardless now is the time for Bryce Young to produce. We are fourth amongst all teams in cap spending on the OL. Back to back first round picks at WR and multiple young TE draft picks now. Very solid and respectable backfield. New pieces across the defense. The time is now.

      That was just the worst time to have their worst game of the season. One key deal was the broncos guess the Panthers would NOT change any plays or flow to the game. Another key point overlook that bronco defense was truly one of the best in the NFL history. It was the best defense the Panthers faced that year, by far. They were not ready for it, but broncos were ready for the Panthers. Mix in that bad luck, poor refs showcase, and this is the golden boys last game........ Panthers needed to win by 20 and the broncos defense was not going to allow that.  Panthers were the faviotes and I believe they also thought that it was going to easier than them destorying NFC playoff teams as they marched to the SB. I've heard darin Gantt say the play calls were to give remmers help, but for some reason the team never did it. During the year they never had that problem, so maybe never practiced giving help via TE/RB, or WR chip. Cam was superman that year, no need for any adjustments...... Until you meet a legendary defense with studs at all levels, Think about it, Peyton was throwing wingless dunks for the whole season, the defense had to carry his corpse to the SB. That's how good they were, no many defense are able to get to the playoffs and win a SB without decent QB play. If you recall the beginning of that denfese took Tim Teblows and his non-throwing arse to the playoffs couple years before. That's insane the level of defense needed to overcome.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      Who cares if he paid for such small benefits out of his own pocket? The NCAA is a joke. They need to be offering such anyway, especially for Uber rides (which actually seems like a good idea).
