This is a problem with the Panthers organization and its fan base. The team is not run like a business and therefore never achieves the level of success that winning businesses do by making the touch decisions. From Delhomme to S Smith to DWill, we have seen huge contracts offered and guys staying past their prime or at least past they point where they have any trade value to better the team. When it is mentioned on the board, people lose their lunch.

Well, I will mention again. Stewart has like one year left on his contract. No way in our pass happy offense and with the team looking for a scatback that we should sign him after next season. First, we cannot afford it, second, it is stupid money to spend when it is not being utilized. If we are going to get to the point where team means more than individuals and jersey sales, we need to trade Stewart to the Bengals or Browns for either of their second picks in the first round. They will be able to fill a huge need with their second and pick up a proven back who is clean off the field and better than anything they can find in the draft.

With our second pick in the low twenties, we can pick up Burfict ILB, Dennard CB or the WR from Baylor. With our first pick, I think OT Martin is about all that makes sense.

Second rounder will be either LB or CB, whichever we do not choose at the end of the first.

we won't and we shouldn't draft burfict.

bad idea.

too much of a headache/headcase/penalty machine.

that dude will lose games all on his own or get kicked out of games that you depend on him for.

we don't need that. his production won't make it worth it. he's not ndamukong suh or even james frikkin harrison.

we can get guys that are just as talented without the baggage that will certainly come with burfict.

Most fans aren't really cool about trading players, especially players that have a lot to do with our team success. I agree there is no way we can pay Stewart and D-will top RB money. One of them has to be traded. I think it will probably be D-will and they sign Stew to a nice contract. The best you will get for D-will probably be a second and a fourth.

People say we don't use/need 2 RBs but between DWill and JStew that's 1500 yards of offense. What happens if one of them gets hurt? If we don't keep JStew, who is DWills backup? Goodson has done ok in pre-season and as an occasional backup but is he good enough to spell DWill every game? Idk if he is...

Running backs are a dime of a dozen. You can find a decent RB all the time. The easiest position on the field to play. Not saying all running backs can be good because they can't. You have your above average back and you have your Star RB like AP, CJ2k, Arain Foster, and Matt Forte. The key is if you look at most teams in the NFL they have a pretty decent RB maybe two.

The only one that applies to is Delhomme.

What do you think the did out of Oregon could do in our offense? He will be a second rounder or worse. Much, much cheaper than Stewart and equally explosive if not more.

RB's can be found, no need marrying one for life. This is not the seventies. The rules in the NFL are formed to make it a passing game.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
