I rewatched the Atlanta game today, it was a perfectly thrown ball. He really should've came down with both feet.

 

Yes, he should have, but meh.  New team, young guy - give him another chance, I think he comes down with it in bounds.  He clearly wasn't ready last year, though. I'm not going to say he has no potential and won't amount to anything.  Either or both those guys could be big contributors.

 

Just wish we could find some journeyman vet with some experience.  We don't need a #1 in FA but we do need someone that can at least be a #3 if not a #2.

"Though it’s still not crystal clear, general manager Dave Gettleman does have a plan for his team at receiver."

and it quotes McNutt as saying this about the plan at WR by the guys in the front office: “They're just not going to go all straight young guys. There’s going to be guys they pick up."

Could someone help me out by explaining why King and McNutt, who couldn't see action on a team that boosted the 28th ranked passing attack, is supposed to be better than the WRs they could not beat out?

 

They didn't have training camp with us, probably didn't get a ton of reps with Cam at all, and were new to the NFL (McNutt was in his 2nd season, King a rookie).  It takes receivers time.  So they could be better than Lafell, Ginn, Hixon... We didn't get a ton of chance to see.

 

I don't expect them to be #1s, but you never know, they could be valuable this year.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
