The biggest mistake JR can make is leaving $$ on the table.

In his interview today he said the next step is extending current players. He didn't say anything about going after more free agents.

We could end up in a situation where we have cap room left and we didn't sign any big names.

Overspending on a bunch of contracts is not good if you don't fill all the holes.

We need a CB, a QB a RG. I hope we don't sign a bunch of no-names and leave $8M in cap.

Especially after we were one of the cheapest teams in the league last year with the worst record.

No matter how good Cam and Rivera and Olindo Mare are you can't make a 2-14 team into a playoff contender without some more pieces.

Just my opinion.

After we get Beason and Kalil set, and the Smitty situation figured out, Im sure we will make more moves.

You didn't expect him to reveal our entire Free Agency agenda to all of ESPN Radio listeners did you? He seems to be fairly confident in the moves Hurney and Rivera are making.

We are signing a corner. There's just no way Ronnie Rivs is going into camp with Cap'n starting(bless his little soul, I love him). But it ain't happening kids.

Sign one of the top tier CBs and a decent QB and I will be pretty happy with everything.

We have $$ to do it.

These big name corners don't always pan out.

Anyone remember Ken Lucas, Big $$$ for average play.

Dunta Robinson from last season? Not a difference maker.

This... when reach and over spend for a position of need it does not always play out well....

Just because we Need a position, doesn't mean there is a good fit there at the right $$$ at the time.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
