Unless we rape some team for a perinnial pro-bowler, then option D. (And I am a Hurney fan) We are in rebuilding mode, not win it all mode. Teams who are in the hunt for a ring can afford to throw away future picks. We cannot.

I agree, we need to keep our draft picks and pick up more young talent.

Once we have a solid defense and offense, and show that we can win and be competitive, then we can go after the skill positions that we require. Giving away more draft picks when the Panthers have too many unknowns at positions seems counter productive.

You are absolutely correct. Panthers are NOT going to the playoffs. Trading for a player will hurt the long term success of the franchise.

Right now we are likely to win 4-5 games. If we trade a second rd pick and get a player that helps us win 6-7 instead, not only did we give up the 2nd rd pick, but drop in the 1st rd and all other rounds from a possible top 5 pick to a pick in the 12-15 range. It costs more than just that pick.

I would rather play the young players, develop them, win 4-5 games, and get more good young players next year to add to the rebuilding process. Most successful rebuilding franchises take several years to become great. Colts, Chargers, Steelers, and Patriots did not get great after just 1 season. It takes time to accumulate talent.

      So where can I find out tailgating parking spots for the season?

      By Panthercougar68 · Posted

      As the demand for apartments grows parking is becoming limited and it’s sad. I use to tailgate but I just park at uncc deck now and train in and head to rhino market. My tailgate grill hates me.

      It simply depends on perspective. CMC, when healthy and on the field, has a higher YPC and YPR than LT. Yes, he's been injury prone, but this is simply a "all quarter-century team." There are certainly different stats and different lists. If this were a list or about a team simply based on longevity, then of course LT wins that every time, but some lists are more subjective and nuanced depending upon what they are, and it's not necessarily a reflection upon a person's ability to analyze sports.

      From my what I have seen the overwhelming majority of people who are considering the notion a possibility don't really want to see it happen but are considering so for a number of reasons. Most importantly availability. Secondly even when he plays the last few seasons he has been red hot or ice cold. Then there is the subject of his defense which to say the least leaves a lot to be desired. Then there is the image of Ball inactive laughing it up on the sideline (while our team was getting the doors blown off) with previous busts who are now relegated to hanging on by a thread in the g league. I think we should be able to recognize with the team going out of their way to put a very strong emphasis on culture and leadership with the conclusion of this years draft that they expect LaMelo to lead the way this upcoming season and that begins with making significant strides and trending in a positive direction in the aforementioned aspects above. It just has to happen.
