Panthers Plan to Contact Eagles

I was told today that the Panthers plan to ask the Eagles about Asante Samuel again. They are getting desperate at CB and will check in to see if they lowered their price. Munnerlyn might not even be the starter with the CBs we already have on the roster that is how underwhelming he has been.

If I am Carolina I would really think about giving up a 2nd for him, but would not touch my 1st round pick.

thats awesome news that they are looking into getting a well known proven CB, my only issue is that whole 2nd round pick thing. So next year we will have a 1,4,5,6,7. If he wont make or break our team this year, i say we pass. Id rather groom talent from the draft for a long term cure than patch up poo for the short term.

It was originally reported they want a 1 or 2 2's. I would not do that but I would trade a 2nd and a player. With Thomas Williams playing so well does that make Dan Connor expendable? The Eagles are weak at LB.
they are intentially weak at LB...not that they want to be weak...they just don't think it's a big deal because it's a passing league. the only thing they did is announce to the league, though, that they aren't going to put much effort into stopping the run because no one does it anymore. thats an invitation to get abused.

they'll find out soon enough.

that said, i don't want us to be trading away connor for a while. not until beason is healthy.

I agree but all of our talent are 7th round draft picks or undrafted free agents.

Munnerlyn 7th round

McClain 7th Round

Stanford 7th Round

CJ Wilson 7th Round

Burney Undrafted

Eventually we need to get someone with talent. It is rare that undrafted free agents and 7th round picks turn into great talents, and we are banking on 5 of them to pan out.

    • Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers. 
    • Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production. 
    • I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
