Who cares about the title...

This was just on my facebook feed from the Panthers official page:

Carolina Panthers

How would you caption this photo of Captain?

We've all seen before how rarely, if ever, does anything come out of our organization without some purpose or greater implication behind it. It doesn't matter if it's an article, a poll, a picture, or whatever... We saw it with the Hurney situation and then when Rivera was retained... All of the articles and forms of media coming out of there pointed to what was the ultimate outcome.

Then, with guys like Deangelo, where you can tell he was being dangled out there, they stay mum for the most part.

So, now, we have them posting this pic of Captain and asking fans to caption it. Do you think they'd be doing this for a guy that's getting ready to walk? I think you know the answer... And I agree, this thread sucks donkey balls. Enjoy.

the Panthers facebook newsfeed is one of the corniest, silliest outlets every. They simply posted that pic to try to get a bunch of rednecks to choke up their chewing tobacco and teenage boys to come up with un-original captions.

I agree, but as I said, all of their posts via FB, Twitter, or Panthers.com, usually act as a signal of sorts towards pending decisions on personnel/staff.

To be fair, twenty-nine other teams are also trying to think of things to talk about to help take fan minds off the fact that they aren't in the Super Bowl.

Can't complain too much.

As much as guys hated him as a starter in 2011 the equal amount should be wanting him to stay as a nickle-back as teams are always trying to find that guy.

Captain said he never played Nickle back extensively before this season and really grasped it at the end of the year learning the nuances of the extended route tree the slot guy has. Nickle is not really a no.3 cb as much as it does take a different skill set to play that position well. In the NFC south with you face Lance Moore who is a premier slot receiver, Harry Douglas who is above average and improving tremendously, Tampa not so much..in 2012 we face potentially Wes Welker as we play New England.

El Capi-tan is an essential piece to the Panther's secondary success who market value will shock and if we resign him will get some flack for the contract. I love that in the same interview with the "Mac Attack" he also said that him and Thomas Davis would have been sick if Atlanta made it to the Super Bowl bc they HATE them.. We need that Captain-fire!

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I mean, but there is ample evidence that exists currently in the NFL and historically that if you have a talented or moderately talented team then one of the biggest upgrades you can make is at QB. It yields the biggest returns. I don't think even Prime Greg Olsen is going to make Bryce suddenly look like a stud QB. We have invested immense amounts of money on the OL and tremendous amounts of draft resources on WR's. And have added an additional extremely capable RB. At some point, the main problem is Bryce. We are at that point.  That being said, we don't need to go "Full Bryce" again and sell the farm to upgrade at QB. Be intelligent and patient. Try to get better by whatever means become available WHILE continuing to make the roster better. At the bare minimum, you slowly build an upper half of the NFL talented roster that is at least a potential draw for some free agent QB's. IMO, Bryce is clearly not the answer. I don't think anyone in our organization thinks that way but if they do, it's not the end of the world. Throw as many reasonable darts as you can through free agency and the draft until either you get a bullseye or a top 10-15 option becomes available in free agency.

      I think the best way to make Bryce better is to make everyone around him better.  This is why I advocate for a stud (top 5, eventually) TE.  I mean, when we have been a good franchise, we have had a stud TE (Walls, Olsen) and ILB (Beason, Mills, Morgan, Luke, etc) so it is in our DNA.  Expect us to address these areas this year.  (An Olsen or Walls would help Bryce a lot).  In terms of productivity, I think we are going to work with XL for one more season and ride the TMac / Coker momentum.  Where else could we find a position to improve productivity?  TE.  A position that caters to Bryce's style and shortcomings, a stud TE gives him another weapon he has not had. The Panthers run a lot of 2-TE sets (I have seen 3) and they have a blocker (Tremble) who is great in the run game, a balanced TE (Evans), and Sanders is supposed to be the pass-catching TE. He had 340 yards last season and he has about 170 this year.  If we are going to play around with XL for another season, it only makes up to add to Bryce's weapons in a way that does not put XL on the bench, basically ending his development. It makes sense to bring in a pass-catching dawg.  The way the offense is designed, I see carrying 4, but its not ideal. Having said that, I mentioned Oregon's Sadiq in another thread, but I am starting to warm up to Vanderbilt's Stowers and, in the Olsen/Walls mold, I kinda like Endries from Texas.  Of course, Stowers is probably going in round 2 and Endries in 3 or later. I still say, 5 months before the draft, that I would not be surprised if we take a TE very early.
