CJ or Krack?

[TheMaulClaw]

There might come a time where we have to choose....who do we choose?

[CRA]

CJ at this point. More consistant and stable to date

[Real Emotional Trash]

The one who doesn't cost too much. :/

DE isn't RB. You can spend money there....or you should pending you haven't handicapped yourself

[CPF4LIFE]

BOTH. Cut anybody thats gonna stand in the way of that except Cam and Keek.

[pantherfan49]

The Panthers pass rush almost covered up the fact that we started Captain Midget (who was one of the most torched CBs in the NFL in 2011) and some no name Rookie not expected to play (take your pick) all last season at Corner. The value in that cannot be overstated.

Pretty much this.

Those four guys are the cornerstones of this team. Smitty too of course but he is already retiring a panther.

Captain was actually one of the top slot CBs in the NFL this year.

Not exactly Capts fault we asked too much of him in 2011

Smitty was a cornerstone....of a different era. Going forward? He won't be Newton's go to guy like he was for Delhomme (just isn't enough time left )

[Bwood]

I know Smitty is coming towards the end, but I just couldn't through his name under the cut list. And he needs to be constantly remembered for what he did for us even when he's long gone.

But I think this will be the year we find Cams future #1 WR. There are some guys with superstar potential in the draft this year and I hope we can take a chance with one of them.

I am not saying cut him....he just isn't a cornerstone piece going forward. Those are like Luke, Cam, etc. Smitty was a cornerstone of a prior era.

Smitty no longer is the most important piece to build around nor keep happy

[rayzor]

if we have to choose between the two of them we're doing it wrong...which is actually to be expected.

no way should we mess up that duo. build around those two and keek. that, in itself, will help give this team a good defense. those three make it easier on everyone else.

The one who doesn't cost too much. :/

oh my god we have the most lily livered fans in the entire world.

talent and production be damned, it costs too much.

[panthers55]

The only reason we would get rid of Johnson would be if his production didn't warrant a 13-16 million dollar cap hit over the next 3 seasons. He is expensive but he was a force this year. If he continues to do that, we will figure out a way to keep him. Hardy has one more year to show me what he can do. He is playing for his second contract which should be a big one if he is as productive next year as he was this year. We obviously have to fit things under the cap so paying them each big bucks will cost you in other areas. You have to have a stream of successful guys who are still on their rookie contract to fill in the gaps. You can have stars at every position and fit under the 120 million cap.
