Another reason to not be worried is amount of "Blue Chip" players we have on our roster, blue chip of course meaning, someone who can be argued top 10 in their position within reason, or at least, that is general argument.

 

We have a whopping seven blue chip players, SEVEN. Just for some perspective.

 

Atlanta: 2

New Orleans: 5

Tampa: 3

Denver: 9

Seattle: 8

New England: 4

San Francisco: 8

Packers: 5

 

It is going to be alright, we have a diverse core, CALM DOWN.

No verge no! Our core guys of captain and Mitchell and ginn walked away! We won't win a single game now! Bring me gettlemans head!! Arhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm irrational and emotional with no foresight whatsoever

 

I probably could of argued Mitchell, honestly. I could throw Wharton in our blue chip players if I reaaallly wanted to. This is getting silly.

Mitchell and Wharton were very serviceable players but honestly if we sign Ryan Clark I doubt we see any drop in production perhaps a raise in production. Mitchell was a nobody who excelled in our system. But yes this is getting terribly silly

Panthers arguable 'blue chip' guys by going the top 10 at position: Cam, Luke, Kalil, Hardy, TD...fringe top 10 guys include CJ, Star, Olsen, and Tolbert. 

 

We have as strong a core as anyone but outside of those 9 we are hurting pretty bad compared to those other teams you listed. The bottom of our 53 man roster has to be amongst the worst in the league after being quite solid last season. 

 

After those 9, who else is really worth writing home about? Short was solid and can definitely be a great player in this league. Amini Silatolu can be great if he reaches his ceiling and gets healthy. Klein was solid in limited time for a rookie. Gano is a beast and Nortman played well for sure. The rest are JAGS and meh. We are really hurting from Hurney's traded picks...those second and first round picks hurt our roster and depth pretty severely I'd be willing to say.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.

      Self described anti-Bryce dude wants us to fail to take a major step forward     Yeah that lines up.
