Oh my god aj smith is not franchising vincent jackson

[CPF4LIFE]

I will take our offense seriously when we stop stalling in the second half. Till then, i dont see anything wrong with trying to improve it.

[Mvp2014]

VJAX would make all the difference in the worldl. I wouldn't want to pay him top tier money though. Not with his history.

[MadHatter]

With our cap situation and holes in other areas, I doubt that we make a play for a high priced WR.

[Argus Plexus]

I wouldn't complain. However, it's not what's going to happen. Hurney is focusing on retaining our offensive weapons and getting new defensive weapons.

[CRA]

Richardson just said in his Q and A that Carolina wants to stay away from big name FA.

[panthers55]

As CRA just said, Richardson just said that we were not going to sign any big name FAs and that in his opinion, none of them outside of Steven Davis, who had an incentive laden contract, ever meet or exceeded expectations.

I don't care if Jackson played at SD or not, I really doubt we will try and sign him or the other 30 guys that will get multiple threads once FA signings begin.

Despite what some folks think, JR is the ultimate decision maker about who we bring in or not and if he doesn't want it to happen, it won't.

[weymouthst]

Pick him up.

+1

We will probably sign some FAs on defense for depth, and that's about it.

[Cat'sGrowl]

Personally I can't bring myself to devote any resources to the offense with the defense bleeding. He'd a good addition, but we need too much help in D.

I expect us to take a look at a bigger name defensive player via Free Agency, though you may see Rivera inquire about Jackson.

yep, maybe a RG or RT as well. Question mark on where Bell fits, Otah's healthy, and I think our RG was a one year deal.

[Edward Teach]

We need to invest money into catching our defense up with our offense if we're being realistic. We can have the best offense in football next season but if we have the worst defense then we'll probably still be a borderline team...

See: Packers, Green Bay (2011) and Patriots, New England (2011).

I know, I know...see Chargers, San Diego (2010)...just sayin

[Jesse]

The difference between the Pats, Pack, and Panthers is we don't have the experience of a deep playoff run or even appearance. The players up north know how how to execute in crunch time whereas Cam has not yet. Our young offense can't compensate for the defense like NE and GB can.

That's quite an indictment on the people who have brought in all these free agents.

[panthers55]

That's quite an indictment on the people who have brought in all these free agents.

I don't know if it an indictment of those who brought them in or a realization that it rarely works that well no matter who brings them in. For example look at Philly who brought in Asomuga for all that money. He seriously underperformed. What about Haynesworth whereever he went or McNabb, Kolb, Peppers among many others. When you pay so much for a guy your expectations are very high. It is hard for someone to live up to the hype and play better than expected.

It seems clear Richardson is against the practice not indicting Hurney for trying to go that route in the past. Some of the biggest FA busts for us were actually guys brought in before Hurney took over as GM. Chuck Smith, Eric Swann, Sean Gilbert among others.
