After the 2003 run we seen an offseason very much like this one. It was very quiet and even more now than then, we signed very few players.

The biggest difference now is our RB tandem, and that 2004 was injury plagued.

regardless, an offseason as quiet as this one no matter the reason does not have me too inspired.

Its not about faith, its about attitude.

I pray we deal Pep, have a good draft day, and then sign some guys after the post draft cuts to fill holes.

We need to get motivated and active, if not this offseason will pass us by and we will be left wanting.

I am sure we will do some of the aboved mentioned, its just terrible watching our hands being tied because of the Peppers situation.

Worse case what happens?

We CANT deal Pep, he stays and we are cash strapped to even sign our draft picks.

Its all or nothing this offseason, and thats a bad place for ANY team to be in.

worse case happens is we can't deal peppers and we have to extend Delhomme, and give extensions/restructures to Smitty and a couple of other vets. Sign one or two FA and get the draft class signed.

That is definetly the worst case. Not dealing Peppers will really hurt us in the draft. We rely heavily on the draft and waiting util 60th pick for our needs does not go in our favor. We could really use some extra picks in the first 3 rds.

Extending Jake...umm...no

Sorry for you, cause they'll be doing that soon. Probably regardless of what happens with peppers. He'll probably get a 3 year extension.

The off season isn't over yet. The Panthers could still pull out a huge trade and have an excellent draft and pick up some notable key FA's after the draft. Always have faith.

Just my opinion, but unless they're in desperate need of a linebacker, I don't see any team having an excellent draft. If we trade for high round picks at all, I hope they are next years'.

Worth noting is that the Cats' rookie salary pool will likely not be very much $$. They calculate it after the draft based on how many picks the team actually made. If the Cats stand pat at the 5 picks they have and since they don't have a first rounder, they won't be spending a bunch of cap on rookies.

But, but, what about national headlines, we want a big splash...

      TE group

      What you are saying isn't always true and I'll give you several examples to demonstrate this. 1) The best player on the board at the end of in round 1 by all consensus is RB (top 15 player in draft who slips b/c of the devaluation of the RB position). Your team is in desperate need of a LT because the current one is getting your QB killed. You already have a serviceable RB in place. The LT has a 2nd round grade and you have the first pick on day 2 of the draft Who do you choose? 2) Your run defense was abysmal the previous season. A DT in round 2 does not provide much in terms of pass rush, but most reports have him rated as the best pure run stuffing DT in the draft. The two highest rated players on your board at the time are a TE and tweener at OLB/DE who slipped into round 2 after a run on WR's. Who do you choose? 3) Your pass rush rush is solid across the board. You even have guy coming off of the bench to provide production. Your secondary in below average. No Safety on the roster is a difference maker and as a unit the squad doesn't have an INT. The highest rated player on the board is a DE. The 5th highest rated player on the board is a an intelligent ball hawking Safety. Which player would make the team immediately better?  1) I think the BPA logic applies when your team is solid across the board and you can afford to draft for depth 2) I think it also applies when your team stinks and any solid player will be an immediate upgrade over what you already have. I agree that you should NEVER reach for a player when you are need at a position like we did for Bryce Young. But I also think if there's is a player on the board that will fill a glaring weakness you need to take him even if a player with a higher over all ranking is available at another position (which isn't a need)

      Bryce Young excels at dividing Panthers fans. That seems to be what he's best at.
