Who do you feel more at comfortable with?

A Wr corp of (Smith, Lafell,Gettis, Pilaris, Adams, Edwards, and Bryant)

Or a CB corp of (Norman, Dockery, Thomas)?

Because I see a lot of you feeling that WR is a Bigger need then CB.

Let's be realist here. Gamble is gone. He saves the most money if cut. He's 30 years old and coming off of a injury. So lets not kid ourselves on this. And Captain is a FA who could be gone as well.

So which group do you feel more comfortable with going into next season?

Our young corners have proven they can play with the big boys. I would still like to see us add another proven defensive back, though.

A strong front 4 and a good pass rush does your secondary wonders as you saw this past season.

We need a play maker at receiver. Smitty was that guy and he still contributes as much as he can, but we could really use a straight up home run hitter.

So in 6 games these CB prove to you that they are more reliable then our WR?

Are you fuging kidding me?

You do realize these are the same guys that got torched by BRADY F'N QUINN?

They are also the same crew that shut down Phillip Rivers, Matt Ryan, and Drew Brees once they finally gelled.

Not trying to make excuses but we had virtually no pass rush at all against KC. I could've torched us passing to Bowe, Baldwin and a wide open Moeaki.

Like I said, if we lose gamble then I will probably be more worried about our corners. But we also lack a big, speedy, deep ball receiver which is very crucial in this passing league.

      Which Round Will Carolina Draft Sawyer Robertson?

      No matter what we still need a QB2 with potential to be a QB1. Keep throwing QBs at the wall until we find someone who sticks.

      Panthers bring back TE Feleipe Franks

      By strato · Posted

      Lot of different agendas dictating opinions.  I don’t think it was the best use of money with Hunt, specifically, but the concept of OL, I am a fan. I didn’t complain a ton because I am a believer in winning up front, on both sides of the ball. I’d rather have stout fronts than fancy WRs. I have complained some about Hunt not being worth his deal, after seeing him get pushed around in a game or two. It’s no crusade. And have complained in the context of shorting the defense.   They have leveled out the FA imbalance with the dual big signings this offseason, and it has always been the draft picks I am most protective of. Anyway The picks are the real imbalance. If you did a trade chart value of the picks we directly gave up for Bryce, and added the support picks invested for skill players, and put that on one side… then put the little 3 3rd rounders and a 2nd that the defense got over three years on the other it would be hugely out of balance. I just want the balance restored. Defense is still owed.

      Panthers bring back TE Feleipe Franks

      I'm one of the ones that won't let it go because it didn't solve the problem. We didn't address the center position which was a huge mistake. We were in position to easily take 2 or the top IOL. Instead of drafting JPJ over XL or Frazier over Brooks, we relied on an oft injured guard to center conversion and lo and behold, it failed as predicted. XL looks like a 1 year college wonder and an injured Brooks hasn't even surpassed Eric Shelton.  Bryce was also benched for poor performance, so the issue that many claimed was solely bad oline play wasn't. It didn't fix him bailing out of tight pockets because of being unable to see the field or him refusing to work on his atrocious footwork. Then there's the $$$. Lewis got a good guard payday. Hunt got a tackle payday. Pay tackles, draft guards, if you can.  I have no issues addressing problems through FA. It was not addressing C at all that's been the issue and still has been. Ryan Kalil was the anchor of our offensive line. We had years of solid center play and it showed. Now we're still piecemealing the center position with an expensive oline and it's still a shitshow. Why? Because the player responsible for what happens on the line presnap has little to no experience doing it. We did acquire a FA center this year finally. We'll see how much that impacts the line.  Spending on a center, whether it be through draft or FA is not bad. It's not a position that can have anyone just thrown in with no drop off in performance. A great center lifts the play of the guards on each side.  I don't like how we've built the line because we've ignored the hinge pin that everyone counts on every play. And the reality of the situation is, it didn't solve the actual problems with Bryce because those have nothing to do with the oline.
