I was just about to post this.

I don't know. If Chad is humbled from his experience (or lack there of) in New England I think it would be cool to reunite him and Steve Smith. Give him a vet minimum contract and see what he does in camp if it works good if not cut him. I think that between Smitty, Riv, Beason and all the other guys Chad wouldn't step out of line.

Do NOT want. Don't care if he and Smitty were college team mates...

With that said, we'll probably pick him up with this new cap space. He can still spread the field and open up offense.

This will hurt LaFell and Gettis if we do this though.

Honestly, I have a soft spot for Chad. He's a great player on and off the field. Very interactive with the fans too. Seeing him in a Panthers Jersey would be cool. But I don't know If that's the best move the FO can make. He's a legit #2 if he comes here though. Smitty and Ocho. Crazy man. Crazy.

Hell to the no, that whole crap he pulled in Cincy, bashing his HC, and all the crap he was doing during the lockout, Hell no. If he went to New England and was the same character he was in Cincy, then I could respect him for who he is, (still wouldn't like his attitude, but I would respect it), but he goes to NE, and turns into some humble guy. Hell with Ocho......

Why do people even waste their time speculating on signing guys like this? There is a 0% chance of us signing Ochocinco and anybody that has been a Panthers fan for more than a few years should know this by now. In fact, I'm so confident we're not signing him that I'll give $8.50 at training camp to each person that pies this post.

I can't be mad at him. When we played the Bengals two years he brought free food and a alcohol for the first 85 people to show up to Brazas and waited around to take pictures with everyone that was there even me with my Panthers jersey on. It was pretty cool...

If he can learn the offense and focus he's a better #2 than anyone on our roster (and I say that as someone who is actively rooting for Lafell to set the world on fire)

Bring him in for a workout. Guy played with Smith at JUCO college. Thats literally the only reason I'd even consider taking a look at him. He had been overrated his whole career and had inflated stats for most of it. I think he's done. Dude can't even beat out Deion Branch for playing time.

      Time to Sign David Njoku

      Blind squirrels and all… he occasionally gets a lane and can operate.    I don’t think he can make his living there and it is why I didn’t  think we should invest a whole lot into trying to develop that part of the offense. Like with a highly drafted TE.  I feel like with him, it is super simple; you need to make running the ball your strong suit. TEs that can block. A big OL. I am concerned about the RB room there is a lot riding on Brooks. But a great RB room. If those things aren’t strengths it will not have a chance of working. Then you need to take the downfield shots which have been missing for most of three years, maybe every down isn’t defended like we are in red zone. Because that is what teams do to us.

      Pretty sure that a QB contract payday is all the competition any QB in this league needs, I don't think a competent backup is going to make them play any harder when the current situation wouldn't warrant the contract extension yet anyways. Your opening point in this post is also the problem, "Bryce has shown signs of improving", but that's still all he's shown, and he's only showing that because of just how bad he was to start his career. If he played like last season from the beginning and never improved one bit, then I actually think more fans would be ready to move on from him, which is what's weird.  It's like going from one of the biggest draft busts of all time into the 25th best QB in the league over 3 years means he deserves a long term $40+ million a year contract extension. Improvement shouldn't be the goal when the result of said improvement is still bottom of the league levels.
