Panthers becoming Free Agents in 2012

Godfrey should be re-signed. He is the most physical safety we have at the moment. I would love for them to keep Conner around, but who knows, he probably want's to start and that wouldn't happen on this team unless we switch to 3-4.

Wallace Wright and Mackenzy ..... *shrugs shoulders*

we really should trade Connor.

We aren't going to do that ridiculous stunt of moving Beason to WLB again if Davis goes down. For one reason I don't think it worked out as well. For another we have two guys that can play the WLB spot now with Wilson and Gaither.

I'm sure Connor would love to be starting somewhere and making more money.

We're going to let him walk next year for nothing.

We should trade the guy even if we just get a 3rd rounder back for him. Ideally we could get him straight up for a DT or CB, or package him with a pick for better player/2nd rounder.

I'd start shopping Connor now just to feel out interest although there's probably not a huge amount of demand. Wait until week 4-6 when some team is devastated by injuries at the position and desperate as hell. Then you can really bend them over in a trade.

1. Godfrey is a must resigning in my opinion, he is a lot better than everyone gives him credit it for. He looked bad last year because he was having to play deep with the inability of Gamble, Marshall, and every other corner's inability to cover.

lol at Godfrey looking bad because of Gamble's inability to cover. I like Godfrey too, and also believe he gets an unfairly bad rap but it isn't because of Gamble. Gamble can cover just fine.

Let's hope its a team that needs a LB and has some position that they are deep in and we are weak in.

Well, at least he's not being cheap. Sheesh. Some people will never be happy.

Well I never said jr or hurney was cheap. The only "fans" saying that were ones with short memories.

Most of us know that hurney has consistently overpaid to retain his own players and in free agency.

    • Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.  
    • Same I think Randsom is a baller..... hopefully we don't have to suffer through 4-8 games of Scott blowing azz to get him on the feild.
    • Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
