I think the QB position is over hyped these days and all of these record contracts don't seem to be working because they lose other good players. No idea why they'd consider a Bryce extension unless they can get him cheap and they think he can cut down on the turnovers and be a game manager.
I expect another LB to be picked up once cuts start happening. The way injuries have plagued that position, it seems smart to have plenty of depth. This team will go as far as the defense takes them because I don't expect our offense to start putting up 30 points a game.
I don't think Dan knows who he's picking and I fully expect him to go BPA regardless of the position. For it to be WR or TE, a stud would have to fall and it would have to be someone that the Panthers are in love with and I'd be shocked if this is Sadiq.
I disagree and let's not normalize poor personal decisions because lots of people don't make these trangressions and especially not with someone that you do business with when you work in the public eye.
A 1st round WR would be a head scratcher because Bryce should be feeding Tmac and Coker as much as possible. The only positive with XL is the fact that he seems fine with being the decoy receiver.
Dillon is an insurance policy if Brooks doesn't play well or can't stay healthy. Panthers don't seem ready to rely on Etienne for any meaningful touches yet.
Officiating in the NFL needs to be completley overhauled. The refs should work fulltime for the NFL and should be paid well so they don't need other jobs. College officiating is better than the NFL.
Injuries are specific to the person. Some athletes can recover and get back to full speed from major injuries and others cannot. I think part of it is mental because if you hesitate or don't fully trust the repair, you can get reinjured easier. This is my theory and I'm certainly not a pro athlete, but I played in college and tore my acl.
Scourton, Umanielen, Moehrig, Jackson, Phillips, and Loyd have been added to the roster in the last 18 months. That's definitely not neglecting the defense.
Safety would suprise me with Ransom and Isaiah Simmons on the roster. If they can't beat out NIck Scott, that speaks volumes.
If they don't go BPA, OL seems to be the biggest need with injuries that always seem to plague this position group.
Panthers don't target TEs because they can't get open. Sanders is the only one that can regularly get open and he drops the ball regularly and isn't a great blocker. Tremble is the best TE and he likely wouldn't start for most teams.
I don’t care what position they draft as long as the pick is a starter and immediate contributor. Good teams always hit on their first two rounds and after that, it’s a crap shoot.
Morgan said he wanted better talent but he didn't want to give up draft picks. Teams always have to overpay for top talent in free agency and time will tell if this was a good move or not, but I'm happy the Panthers are being aggressive.
You aren't going to get anything for XL and I'd give him another year before pulling the plug. A lot of WRs don't break out until their third year.
Panthers shouldn't be dropping 20 million on any free agent unless it is a LT or pass rusher.
