Each year we load up IMO with some damn good talent. The BPA theory is working. I think it will depend on who we draft. If we draft a 1st round DT someone is leaving. I haven't decided if KK is good because he has Star demanding all the attention or is just that good. I'll let the experts decide that. You always have to look to replace your aging veterans but as long as you keep adding to the mix fresh young TOP talent those decisions get easier.

Well you know he just doesn't get paid enough so to augment that measly paycheck he does side work as a body guard.

Makes you miss Ol Jake. I hope they have a Jake Delhomme game on day soon. He may not have been the best QB in the NFL but I dare you to show me a QB with more passion than he did. He clearly is one of my all time favorites.

Was watching Jake. Damn that boy could drop back fast. I don't know if I have ever seen Cam drop back that fast. Cool to see Proehl in the video. That was 2005 or part of it. Smitty's Triple Crown Year. Awesome video

Totally caught me off-guard. I was expecting something totally different. Thanks for the laugh. Funchess takes over #1 duties by Midseason. KB and Funchess both break 1000 yds. Cam throws for 4000 yd for the first time since 2012. Defense is the #1 defense in the most important category. Points Allowed SF goes 0-16 and Claim the season a success because Kapaernik runs for more yards than he throws.

​I don't know that is as necessary with Proehl. I would hate to cut a quality WR just so we keep a vet on the team.

Is the perennial weakness becoming a Strength? It appears that someone worthy of a spot is going to get cut. Including our newly signed FA Boykins.

Always great to see a guy who can be versatile. It really looks like he is absorbing his lessons.

​This is because he was not drafted and everyone wants to think he is a mandatory J.R. player. Truth is. Bersin has worked his butt off over the past 3 years and has made himself a solid NFL receiver. I am 110% happy with Jeremy's list as him being #4. I look forward to a solid preseason from Bersin and will not be surprised if he stays #4.

I don't think Bersin is the token Panther because he is from JR.s college. I think he has been around long enough that he is more worthy than some of the bigger names. If you are looking a good possession receiver. I like Bersin. Good hands, very reliable, great routes and is tall. I have no idea who I think will be cut. For the first time in many years. Teams are going to be watching our cut list. That seems odd to say.

Thank God they aren't flat....All I would do is curve it anyhow.

As you can see by most of your first page post. I don't see how you can exclude older fans. Ever since I was a young man who started watching football I have always been a Carolina fan even if we didn't have a team. I always dreamed this area should have a team. I remember the short lived WFL Carolina Cougars.. The moment the I heard that Carolina's were putting together a franchise bid. I have been a fan. I can tell you, you won't find a more rabid fan of this team. Many on my level but not higher. I eat, sleep and drink Panther Football.

Should be the whole damn season if you ask me. Especially after those smug comments he made the other day.

Shaw is filling a Hybrid role. Once he gets his position down he'll be fine. I wouldn't be screaming bust just yet.

He was also the conference defensive player of the year. While he isn't Luke I am positive he will be a great special team asset and learn from a great core of Linebackers.

Offer him a big money(comparable to a first or second round) three year deal contingent being cleared. The most creative team wins

After watching the Presser with Gettleman and Rivera I am more at ease with the pick. We got fair value for the pick. I think he'll be a good compliment to KB. Could be a nice Duo for years to come.

That's fair.... I would think that would be a good rookie year for a 2nd round pick.

Have any of you "we gotta get a speed receiver" think that maybe Hill is that other speed receiver or our staff has faith that Ginn and Brown are more than enough. I just watched his highlights and am satisfied that Funchess is a good pick. BTW I seriously doubt we moved up the draft just to Fug New Orleans or Atlanta. They may have been targeting him but G'man felt he was valuable enough to go after.

Look. The front office did their homework on these guys. I believe that Proehl has his input and between Gettleman and Proehl if they think he is worth this pick. I am all for it. So many criers over Gettleman and his picks. Our team has taken a turn upwards because of the drafting and UDFA prowess of Gettleman. Funchess said he was tired from the interviews during the combine. He ran better at his pro day. We'll be fine.

Boykins and Ginn give us the opportunity to take the best football player. Especially Boykins, I think this a good pick up for us and is as good as any rookie that was still on the board. If White or Cooper were still available and we picked Shaq I might agree with you. This class of WR is very deep. There are many WRs still available as well as OT.

Perfect explanation. I was OK with the pick before reading this and now I am more satisfied. You have to be able to stop the NE, N.O and GB type of offenses.

I gotta ask. Didn't any of you listen to Gettleman over the last 4 months? He said he wasn't going to reach. We addressed all our needs in Free Agency. While they may not be the most popular FA they gave Gettleman the opportunity to take the best football player available. It amazes me that when the pick comes in you all still bitch like babies cause you didn't get who you think we should have drafted. Gettleman has a great track record in the draft so to be honest. I would take his opinion over all this whining. Though players don't have a say in who we draft, when TD says this guy is better than he was when he came into the league tells me we have a solid player. Plus the guy could fill an emergency role at running back if we had a slew of injuries at RB.

By the time we pick this looks awful good. lol

He didn't get any gigs before and that is a mystery as to why but, the Carolina Panthers have him and will be foolish to ever let him go. He is going to build us a super bowl winning team. He is worth every penny and more. Thank God he wears the Panther colors.
