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.

      Tony Pauline: Panthers’ Biggest Roster Needs

      BPA in draft all the way. Address your biggest needs in free agency.

      Exactly.  You let him play out next season and continue to develop Thorton.  Jackson’s earned his next contract, but his age and the risk of tying up such a large portion of the payroll at one position leads me to believe that we’ll let him walk. In all likelihood, we’ll draft another CB, or two, and bring in some journeymen to fill the roster void, between now and the start of the 2027 season.  That’ll create more balance financially across the roster enabling us to invest in other areas.

      I’m just not impressed with these hires/openings

      By strato · Posted

      As far as the NFCS … I think this division will be hotly contested the next couple of years.   I am tending to pay more respect to both Atlanta and the Saints n terms of how strong they will be moving forward, than not.    I am mixed on Ryan but think they have a decent roster to start with. I don’t think he blundered hiring Stefanski. And that offense can be dangerous with a QB. Plus, defense is arrow up. No 1st round pick, WB issues will dull their effectiveness. Question is, to what degree?   I think Moore is going to be a good HC and can overcome tape that people have on Shough. They need a lot but they were playing with people. Just the way you want to see all the way to the end.    Not sure about Tampa they have Mayfield but I don’t think they can maintain their success and Bowles is not going to last much longer. They have to go through all that. Gonna be tough once it starts. Might already have started.    For us I feel pretty good about Morgan. But less so about our offense, we have some short term RB and OL issues and those things are critical given what we are working with at QB.  Overall, mixed. Like a lot of what I see but some major question marks remain.
