Cherelus down. We need to be talking about LBs even more

It's been well over 24 hours, and I'm surprised that no one here has talked about Claudin Cherelus going down, and the fact that there hasn't been any new updates as of yet. He has a "groin issue," but how long is he expected to be down? Sure, we signed Krys Barnes a few days ago, but he was meant to be depth. If either Christian Rozeboom or Trevin Wallace go down, a perceived weakness is now even weaker, and that's before we even get to the season. 

Our old Panthers Wire friend Tim Weaver, now turned to SI thinks that Morgan has to acquire someone.

"Looking ahead, Rozeboom and Trevin Wallace are projected to start for the Panthers. If either one of them were to go down, it could mean a guaranteed disaster in the middle of this defense. General manager Dan Morgan has little choice but to sign a proven vet at this spot before the season begins."

I guess we'll see come cuts.

Y'all need to chill on the LB panic and just come to grips with the reality that it's gonna be a weak spot and we're gonna be dumpster diving on the waiver wire to fill in the gaps. The last thing we need to do is make some panic move and trade real assets for a bandaid like we would've certainly done in the past under Rhule and Fitterer.

I mean, I mentioned cuts. That being said, I'm going to trust that Dan and Dave know what they're doing however they address the situation (or not).

I just hope they're addressing it thinking long-term. Don't give up assets that can be used long-term for a short-term solution for a team highly unlikely to compete in a significant way this season.

There will be serviceable fill one on the waiver wire. If we have the good fortune of finding out that we have forth at a position group that's going to result in the release of an NFL level player then work the phones to see if there's a team out there with a need there that finds themselves in that same situation at LB.

I can agree with that. I just think that some of you are thinking that you know more than they do regarding what's NFL-level talent, the degrees of that talent in relation to what we'd offer in a trade, what player(s) will fit the preferred defensive scheme, and that they're gonna buy "Band-Aids" with undervalued and relatively important draft capital. I feel that they're doing their best not to put us in that situation. 

Dan Morgan was a good LB for goodness sakes. He knows something about the position. He probably knows how to value one correctly also.

I don't think that I know more than NFL front office people and that's why I find it so baffling when I see them doing obviously idiotic things. They really should know better.

I mean, this is a message board to talk about football. If your stance is they know more so we should all just trust them then what's even the point?

I get good vibes off Barnes. Im hoping our scout team pulled off a Luvu type signing when we brought him in. If he was just a little more consistent he'd definitely be one of our starters imo. 

Wallace should be improved, Rozeboom will be flying all over the field, Barnes is my guy and I'd wager that Bam makes the team as well. I still say its our weakest position on D though. 

If we get into the season and it becomes an evident liability, surely Morgan will patch up the problem being a former LB himself. I'd hope so anyway.

Who?

I thought Huddlers has decided that only corners and edge rushers mattered to good defense now? Linebackers don't really matter man. Dime a dozen. That's why we replaced Luke Kuechly so quickly....

Our linebacker corp is screwed, and that's ironic to me. Get Ron Rivera in the building for just one off-season please.

Rhule fever seems to be en vogue. It's wild, one would assume that Panther fans would want to distance themselves from that fuging nonsense.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
