I want the kid from Indiana in the second or third round (Cody Latimer)

 

What was the topic?

 

I think Smitty was being paid as a #1 but there were signs that he could no longer fill that void.  

 

A true #1 is a player who produces even when the defense is constantly cheating to his side.  He opens things up for everyone else.  However, the fact that SF, Seattle, Carolina--the elite teams of the NFC--did not have one is interesting.  What they all had was a run-first offense and a good QB.

 

If you cannot run the ball, the absence of a top WR is more obvious.  For us, the fact that Cam is one of our leading rushers is perhaps not a healthy way to gauge our running attack.  We need to upgrade the OL considerably if we are going with WR by committee.

Did I say they were a good core?

And Megatron is #1 times 10. Teams have #1s that aren't superstars

Even then, I'd rather have 3 good, established, system WRs than one really good one. Spread the ball around

we don't have those.

#1 receiver is as stupid and meaningless as "deep threat". You don't hire a #1 but somebody will become the leading receiver, which was a TE last season. Every receiver is a deep threat.

Greg Olsen is not a deep threat, nor is he going to take us to the promised land. If Greg Olsen and a wide-out corps like we had in 2013 is the best we ever have to offer, then we'll continue getting what we're getting. We fell short for a reason.

I will say this....

 

A good front 7 made journeyman and backup CB's safeties look like all pro's.

 

A good OL would do the same thing for our WR's.  

 

Gettleman is right.  You wan't consistency you build from the inside out.

We need consistent play makers on the field. We need guys that will strike fear in opposing defenses, or guys who will---at the very least---sneak up on and burn an opposing defense while it is preoccupied elsewhere. I don't give a poo what number you classify them as, but that's what we need. Sent from my SGH-T989 using CarolinaHuddle mobile app

I really wish folks would stop acting as if there is only one way to win in the NFL: the Seahawks way.

 

The Broncos came within one game of winning it all this year and next year they will be favored to compete again. If the Broncos win the SB this year, the next off season everyone will be like:

 

OMG, we need to best offense to win

OMG, we need a star QB in which the offense revolves around

OMG, we need to grab the best free agents

OMG, we need an amazing WR core with a No. 1 WR

OMG, we need a NFL Head Coach not college one

OMG, we don't need an amazing defense

OMG, its okay to spend 1/3 of our cap on the QB position alone

and on and on...

 

Just two short seasons ago everyone was certain the only way to win a SB was to have a superstar QB in a high octane offense with talent everywhere on offense. Everyone said that college coaches couldn't win in the NFL and that you could win with a subpar defense.

 

Now folks act like ONLY the Seahawks way is the only way to win. Because the Seahawks had this...well we must have that...because the Seahawks didn't have that...well we don't need it either.

 

The Seahawks will try to cover up any weaknesses they have and get better. If Carroll sees he has a whole in the WR core, he will TRY to fill it...not because he necessarily wants his offense to turn into the Broncos but because he realizes the less weaknesses his team has the better chance for victory.

 

This nonsense that it is okay to have a glaring, gigantic hole at WR position and its okay to not TRY to fix it as best as possible within the cap and draft restraints we have-- is all kinds of stupid. If the Seahawks have a glaring, gigantic hole ANYWHERE on their rosters, within the cap and draft restraints, best believe they will TRY to fix it with the best personnel possible.

Never said anything different. I implied the attitude of Panther's fan base was to be "okay" with not attempting/trying to improve each aspect of the team.

 

I certainly hope it is Gettleman's goal to fix each area of weakness by making the best moves...or not making a move at all..

Gettleman's first focus this season is to fix the cap situation.....why is it so damn hard for you idiots to understand this.

 

He is NOT going to restructurie contracts and push more cap hell into the next two years....when next year's position may actually be worse than this season.

 

He is going to ensure we lock up our young talent....supplement that short term with bargain players with something to prove....work to rid the team of bad contracts over the next two seasons...and set up the Panthers for long-term success.

 

Problem is that the avg huddle on here is a 15yo kid with zero understand of finances or budget constraints.

      Umm yeah. When did he get it done at the right time? I seem to remember a 4-6 finish and needing Atlanta to win our way into the playoffs but whatever.

      I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.

      summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "
