Gross is old and has been regressing the past THREE years despite people being oblivious to it.

Already agreed. We need to go Oline FIRST. I saw we try and get the best possible after combines and all this and that. No WR worth a first rounder and we can get one in second. This is deeper draft at DT so think we can get one later too. Safety is also like WR, no one worth it until later rounds.

I want the best olineman available with first pick as of now. Cam absolutley thrives when given time and with our (Chuds) option style of play a solid oline is a must.

I think looking at the prospects for the next draft as a whole and conisdering needs as well as BPA the order should be : Oline, WR or DB, DT. Could change depending on combine/interviews but that is how I see it now.

Still think Safety is a bigger need. One could make a pretty compelling photo essay of Nakamura, Martin and Campbell getting burned, missing tackles, and playing poorly in coverage.

The O-Line will be better next year with Kalil back and a 2nd or 4th round RG fighting for Hangartner's spot, plus another year of experience for Silatolu and Bell. The injuries to our interior line were kind of a freak thing this year, like injuries to our linebackers were last year, and doesn't warrant us neglecting our greatest need: a big physical skill-position free safety to close off the back end of our defense.

Nah playa. You gotta go with a vet safety and vet DT. High risk for bust with those positions and neither have to be all world to get the W.

Go back and rewatch the games, particularly Gross and you'll see he isn't the problem.

He's not what he once was, but we have bigger issues in the team and on the OL than Gross.

You're still focused on performance. Taking into account how much he is going to be paid and the cap issue moving in on the team he is an issue.

Performance wise of course there is worse on our oline but the point is, that isn't saying much.

Then ask him to restructure or resign him to an extended, more cap friendly contract. Hangartner is our biggest problem from a performance vs pay perspective. He's a backup, a good and versitile one, but that's about it.

so let me ask you this....let's say the first round develops so that Star is still available

when we pick, you know, the strong pass rushing class, and teams reaching for QB's, etc...

do we pass on him to take an ot?

Star at this point is the best player applicable to the Panthers, meaning Jarvis Jones is the best, but we have a LB or two.

There's 1 stand out LT and he ain't dropping to 14. I'd take the top 4 DT's (Star, Hankins, Richardson and Jenkins) over the 2nd best OT in this class.

The success of this team next year will be directly related to who we pick up in free agency.

Can't built through the draft in one year.... We need men that can step up and fill the gaps we lack in our defense secondary, Oline, and Wide receiver. And given our history of not making a lot of free agent pick ups I wouldn't get our hopes up unless the new GM says something different

      So where can I find out tailgating parking spots for the season?

      By Panthercougar68 · Posted

      As the demand for apartments grows parking is becoming limited and it’s sad. I use to tailgate but I just park at uncc deck now and train in and head to rhino market. My tailgate grill hates me.

      It simply depends on perspective. CMC, when healthy and on the field, has a higher YPC and YPR than LT. Yes, he's been injury prone, but this is simply a "all quarter-century team." There are certainly different stats and different lists. If this were a list or about a team simply based on longevity, then of course LT wins that every time, but some lists are more subjective and nuanced depending upon what they are, and it's not necessarily a reflection upon a person's ability to analyze sports.

      From my what I have seen the overwhelming majority of people who are considering the notion a possibility don't really want to see it happen but are considering so for a number of reasons. Most importantly availability. Secondly even when he plays the last few seasons he has been red hot or ice cold. Then there is the subject of his defense which to say the least leaves a lot to be desired. Then there is the image of Ball inactive laughing it up on the sideline (while our team was getting the doors blown off) with previous busts who are now relegated to hanging on by a thread in the g league. I think we should be able to recognize with the team going out of their way to put a very strong emphasis on culture and leadership with the conclusion of this years draft that they expect LaMelo to lead the way this upcoming season and that begins with making significant strides and trending in a positive direction in the aforementioned aspects above. It just has to happen.
