We are average and to bridge the arguments, we are young. If our WRs continue developing toward their potential, and do not pull a Keary Colbert, then we do not need a veteran, IMo.

I agree as I am not really for signing a vet either... That's why I said if we can draft a young stud, or sign a young stud. But we have never had great depth at the position! It's like if we get 2 solid WR's everyone wants to stop and is afraid of getting depth and stronger.

I mean look at the dang Packers... one of the most talented wr's corps and they still drafted young talent this year! It's like we get to average, or players with upside and people are scared to think bigger. More talent only makes us stronger... then when we go to 3 or 4 WR sets we give matchup problems all over the field!

The Panthers do not need another WR. We have Steve Smith, 3 young 2nd year WR's (2 of which caught 40 passes last year) and 2 pass catching TE's.

Stop rage posting because we didn't trade for Ocho or sign Rice.

Now if you rage post because we haven't signed a CB that is acceptable.

Nobody is raging...

Just seems like NE got Ocho for free pretty much... I've never even advocated that we go get a WR... Just saying if we could have had him for a 5th and 6th...

You know what... It's pointless

Honestly though, I don't think as big as a need as CB. I do think Gettis and LaFell improve alot from last year. Could be like the Giants young WR improvements last year (well besides the drops). Olsen was the big WR acquisition. If you have seen the guy play, you know we made a great move. I think we're done at WR unless we bring a camp body or a vet at the min.

We were in need of another receiving threat and Olsen shored that up. I would be willing to give our young guys a chance to prove themselves this year. Next years draft will be stacked at the WR position. We can get our next stud then if our guys Colbertize this year

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
