This guy is, in my view, what the Panthers need at TE, and I am guessing he'd be available in Round 2. He has excellent hands, grabs balls in traffic, very productive. This would, in my opinion, make the CMC trade one of the best moves we could have made because it added a second rounder. This TE would make the Panther O better.

It is hard to gauge what Corral can become. First of all, he played garbage minutes. Secondly, Rhule's system has not been kind to QBs--I think he could be decent in a year or two, but I think we should look to grab a veteran if Levis does not slip to us in the draft. It is my opinion that the offense could use a productive TE--but that does not necessarily mean first round.

Now that we are out of the running for a top QB in this draft--and I doubt we have the capital to move up--I say take a close look at Gardner Minshew. Draft a stud Offensive weapon TE instead. The Minshew deal would remind me of the Jake Delhomme acquisition. We would have a 26-27 year old QB who is a fiery leader. A solid OL, and a new tool for the offense--today's NFL offenses need a productive receiving TE. If we continue to run the ball, you do not need a $50m QB. With the way the Defense is playing, and if we can improve the Offense at 2 spots (TE, QB), I think the Panthers would be in "win now" mode. I am just speculating for fun, and I realize there are hundreds of scenarios, but I have always liked Minshew and I think, in the right system, he could be very good.

You are kidding about the laser measuring devices, correct? And yes, it is part of the show. The chain measurement creates drama.

Good point. And why do we still have chains to measure for first downs? That takes a lot of time.

About Wilkes: I like the guy. He seems to have the demeanor and I am guessing, his year in Arizona taught him a lot. Although he is a defensive coach, the offense has been better and the defense has been pretty dominant. If we win 7 or 8 games, he will be getting the full time gig.

Think about it--we are one DJ Moore helmet removal and a late Saints collapse from having 6 wins and being alone at the top of the S

I think we could have a decent WR group if we added an offensive threat TE. Smith, Moore, Marshall, Shenault--and I think we could use a solid possession WR. Darnold is hard to watch, so it is hard to say for sure.

It is not about rooting for the Panthers to lose, it is about this annoying habit of eliminating your playoff chances and then going on a tear that also eliminates your chance of getting that difference-making QB. Winning games after being eliminated? Yea!!! Rah Rah!!! Tankers are fans in that they do not like French kissing their sisters and telling their friends that they scored. They want to sacrifice today for long-term winning and a shot at a title. Last time I checked, they did not hang banners for five-win seasons. But don't let that damper your parade plans. We were a trap game--with SF on the schedule for Thursday. They probably watched SF film last week, and we were coming off a bye.

With the coaching situation in question, it is hard to gauge, so it is a tough call. I love a good fire sale, and accumulating assets is something we should be doing. So I dunno.

If you compare him to the OL that were available, we did well. Not to slight the others, but this guy is better, wants to be a Panther (grew up a fan) and will want to stay in Charlotte. I see him here for 10-12 years.

I have JJ Jansen and Zane Gonzalez jerseys in all 3 colors.

The Raider's DC should be fired.

This was similar to the Bucs Saints game-

This.

Just a few years ago we were grimacing at the idea that Cam might cost us over $20m--I think, however, after the Russell Wilsons and the Matt Staffords put teams in financial ruin for a half decade or more, teams will reconsider giving one player 25% of the cap.

Yes, he is a bargain at $25m in 2023 and 2024. I doubt they let him go unless they get a nice package of picks.

If the Lions take a QB, then I say the Panthers might consider going after Goff. We REALLY need a TE, folks. The offense is running at half capacity without one--not saying in round 1--but adding a TE might be better (instantly) than some overrated college QB.

For our sake, let's hope the Lions decide to stay with Goff I honestly believe that it is (at times) better to look through the NFL's QB scrap heap for a gem than to overpay for an aging veteran. I mean, the Rams traded away the farm for a super bowl. The Panthers signed former WFL backup and Saints backup Jake, and they go to a Super Bowl.

When there is no film on them, I do not see their success improving. To me, Minshaw is the vet we should target--he has a good deal of work behind him and he is a DelHomme type gamer.

Baker extends the playbook, if you think about it. "Third down punt" is a new play. Instead of getting grounding calls by throwing it out of bounds from the pocket, just drill the DT in the knee cap with a pass. I was going to think of a third play, but the first two were not funny, so I am bailing.

Not a bad move for LA--they have 4 games or so to see if he fits their system. Kinda like a preseason.

Prolly gonna be the Rams.

I would not be surprised to see him go unclaimed.
