when Beason, and Davis went down was the worst in the league besides connor imo. I don't excpect big FA signing's but what I do excpect is depth...We have NONE and we just lost Connor to Dallas, these players being brought in at linebacker are complete garbage...I mean come on that was obviously the position that needed 2-3 FA pieces as filers if Beason or TD go down again...

Davis is running 4.5's in rehab and no one should ever doubt Bease. Anderson is solid money. CPanthers will have THE LB core of the league this year. Connor and Senn were good backups. Relax, it's June, oh wait, it's March. Dude, they will be better than fine.

I agree we need linebackers and not just depth but guys who can contribute in the rotation and start if necessary given the uncertainty with davis and Beason. I would love Kuechly at 9 but can also see taking a corner or D linemen as well. I am high on Kuechly because I think he is special and there isn't anyone close to his talent or production in the draft. But you could make the same case for Claibourne or Blackmon, or even Coples (if he is the next Julius Peppers).

In any event we need linebackers and we really can't count on both daviss and Beason returning to their pre-injury form. I would love if we could but when have we gotten that lucky before????

If you honestly think Connor was the best thing about our linebackers last season, then either you're a fool or you didn't watch our games. Hell, even if you only pulled up the stat sheet you'd be better informed than that nonsense. There's a reason we didn't try to hold onto Connor. He's slow, nonathletic, completely worthless in our system, and can barely keep up with a four year old. Way to snub James Anderson btw. The guy worked his ass off trying to fill Beason's shoes and he did a remarkable job. Too bad there were two huge holes on either side of him and our linebacker corps still ended up looking like ass. Anderson played so well, that if Beason doesn't come back to full form next season, we already have a backup plan. LOL Connor was the only highlight. That's a good one. You sure you didn't come here after jumping off the Saints bandwagon?

expected these type player to be sign by panthers

70-79: Good Starter

Solid starter who is close to being an outstanding player. ... Has few weaknesses and usually will win his individual matchup but does not dominate in every game, especially when matched up against the top players in the league.

60-69: Average Starter

A valuable roster player but not a dominant player against the better players he faces on a weekly basis. ... Gives great effort and teams are glad to have him, but he may or may not go to the next level.

50-59: Good Backup

This is a player who is really on the bubble and only starts because of a deficiency at the position. ... He lacks complete overall skills, and although he will battle, he will hinder his team's ability to play at a championship level if he is forced to be in the starting lineup consistently over a 16-game season. Teams don't mind having him on the roster but are always looking to upgrade.

We seriously need LB's added to the roster, and quite frankly, we need 2 players capable of starting. After James Anderson, Jon Beason, and Thomas Davis (both of them coming off of injury), we have Kion Wilson, Jason Williams, Jason Phillips, Phillip Dillard.

Really underwhleming, and a HUGE POSITION of NEED.

No, the huge positions of need are the places that we don't even have starters for (CB, DT, O-Line)

We have 3 very good linebackers. Sure, two are coming off injuries, but there are other positions that don't even have starters at all.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
