Short was a disastrous pick? 

 

Like, Armanti Edwards disastrous?

 

The player himself was not a disaster, but the double dip pick of a DT in the second was. With no third round pick, the second was our last chance to draft a day 1 contributor, and it would have been much better spent on one of the other areas of need; OL, WR, Secondary. They were all needs last offseason. They are all still needs a year later. He had an entire draft, and an entire free agency period, and the only positions on the entire team he materially improved were DT and S. That's pretty shaky.

Can't agree there.

 

Short definitely contributed plenty (had a crucial play against the Patriots) and is probably a full time starter next season.  You also had A J Klein look pretty promising when he played, and Chase Blackburn absolutely helped us win some games.  Not to mention Ted Ginn.

 

Yeah, there are still needs, but you weren't gonna fix every problem we had in one offseason.  Andoutside of cap issues (which Gettleman has shown an ability to handle) we're in a pretty good position to fill those needs coming up,

I'm not appreciating nothing(yes, double negative for emphasis). Did we win the super bowl? No. We were just a one and done team that might not make it back if we keep ignoring the offense. By the way, you didn't say what made you so brilliant and the rest "dumb asses". Next time just skip over the comments you don't like. You don't have to reply to them.[/quote

Save your English lesson & try giving credit to ones that deserve it as well. What makes me smarter then you on this topic. I realize you can't fix every problem or every position with the wholes we had & have. Except for cry baby fans like you it's never good enough. So all your do is Bitch & Bitch. That was what you were doing in your original post correct? So yeah I might just skip over your next post or other dumb asses just like you. Just maybe I needed to Check you for being such an unrealistic fan. Hey maybe I just took your words out of context, but I doubt it.

 I remembered reading on here last season when the defense was still struggling, the speculation that the coaches were still working on building Cam. It seems this season Cam was the offense because they regressed and the defense got much stronger. 

 

I hope next season both sides of the ball bring their A game every Sunday.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
