With the Current signings, have the Panthers made themselves better?

Be unbiased here.

Personally I don't believe they've made themselves better. The signing of core players that just came off a 2-14 season, to me isn't getting better, not immediately, in the long run, sure. But I'm talking about right here and now. Making an Impact that they will be at least a couple of wins better.

A kicker that's only a couple of years younger than Kasay, for 12mil...

A TE that's the spitting image of Jeff King...

DT, is one of the signings I actually liked. Even if he's a bit older. Veteran presence to teach the young kids.

UDFA were not bad, but nothing that says, HOLY poo!

I also realize it's just day 2, but I've seen some nice moves so far from other teams that in my mind have bettered themselves with 1 or 2 signings as of today. Case in point

The Seachickens. The foreskins.

Hopefully the rest of the Free Agency period will bring joy and a sense of the team getting better without getting on the field just yet.

No I'm not hating, just trying to be real here.

The only way I feel this could of made us better is bringing in the vet we needed at DT. Then bringing up the morale of our core with the big money longterm contracts. That's about it so far. Last year the coaching situation and QB was our problem. We still need to fill some holes.

The TE signing makes no sense to me, at all. He has one touchdown compared to King's 8 or so. I don't understand that one at all. But, King has now signed with the Cardinals (poor guy).

I don't think the UDFAs make us any better, but the four big name returning starters certainly make us better than we would be without them. T Davis wasn't even a part of the 2 - 14 season, D.Will got banged up as well. And Johnson and Andersen played class A football. So yeah, I do think those four signings will make us better this season.

Mare vs. Kasay, hard to say. Had to come down to the roster spot. How much value do you give that?

Panthers have always been a team that likes to develop it's own talent through the draft. The few times they have made big FA signings/trades they have never worked out well. Best FA signing the team ever did was Jake Delhomme.

For now, I'm just happy they are trying to bring in talent at positions of need. TE singing was unnecessary, but I like the move for a DT. Just need a guy who comes in and does the job right. The kicker signing is interesting...I guess the new coaching staff wants to develop their own team leaders, might have thought Kasay would divide loyalties.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
