That draft is a failure alone for passing on Surtain for Horn, it was such an easy call. Not sure why they got cute.

I actually think this is a pretty good WR class depth wise. It may not have elite guys at the top (the only one being TM in my opinion), but it’s got some guys who can be very good starters. Recievers who can probably be gotten in the second round like Tre Harris, Isiah Bond (Xavier Worthy clone) Luther Burden, and Jack Bech (who’s getting a lot of Kupp/Lad comps) would be great additions to this team. Everyone notices Goldens ascension to the top half of round one, but I would still be very hesitant to take him over McMillan. Regardless we all agree WR has been and now is our most pressing need. I hope they don’t telegraph it that much by picking up some talent in FA otherwise we’re gonna get jumped at the draft.

I think the TE room with Sanders and Tremble is set. Two talented young guys who need to show up. The WRs desperately need an alpha #1. Leggette needs to really take a step forward, and we have to pray Thielen stays healthy. Tet McMillan should be the target at 8 and would be a major upgrade to this offense. A FA signing or two is inevitable as well. Defensively they are doing it right. You don’t need a dominant expensive defense in today’s NFL. You need a blue collar defense that can show up, stop the run, and create turnovers. It’s very difficult to completely shut down other teams with the rules today. The money should be spent on the offense, it’s an offensive driven league. With that said there are obviously holes at LB and FS that Morgan will address at some point. The roster is not going to be completely fixed this offseason but we should expect another trend to the upside with next off season being critical for a potential playoff push.

Whoever they sign to backup Chubba is going to have to be cheap. They already invested a lot of assets to the position (both money and a high draft pick). A guy coming off injury like AJ Dillon is intriguing, and probably will be had for the vet min. Khalil Herbert is a very solid all around back, and Hynes can be a great third down option if that’s the route they wanna take with more of a receiving back.

I would dangle Horn in any offer to Seattle for Metcalf. Let the Hawks pay him, while we pay DK and can draft a CB early like Will Johnson. Horn and a late round pick for DK would be great.

Why do I feel like Canales is going to pound the table for Godwin. If he’s healthy could be a great signing, but outside of a big name DT and a few defensive upgrades, we can’t lose sight that we also still need playmakers.

I disagree, he’s a special talent and we would be lucky to have him at 8. Obviously we need help on the defensive side of the ball but the Panthers will have plenty of money to grab FAs with.

If McMillan is on the board you run up to the podium imho. He’s a Nabers level WR prospect. Having TM, Thielen, XL, and Coker is a legit WR room. Thielen is our best receiver and is retiring within a year or two so it’s imperative this is addressed.

Donald Parham would be the best TE on the roster js

Still holding out hope for Hollywood Brown or a Curtis reunion..

Wesley is a Giants parody account, it’s a funny follow though.

Again my main point in starting this thread was in looking at FA and How can the Panthers best improve this pathetic offense. We all were hoping for a big name WR, sadly that’s not happening. But a guy like Saquon will be available and can carry an offense. The Giants had a worse QB situation than us somehow and he still was able to have success and teams feared him. I like Chuba but he’s not in the same stratosphere of talent that Saquon is. Nobody would complain about the cap implications if CMC was still on the roster, and this brings us close to that talent level at the position again. It will also be cheaper than CMC was. Let’s face it, if we don’t bring in talent via FA to take pressure of Bryce this year will be just as ugly as the last. Hoping to just draft guys with the like 3 picks we have is laughable. Most guys drafted in the second round and beyond are not ready immediately. Look at Mingo..

Tell me one other FA skill player that would improve our offense more than him? Don’t say Ridley he’s suspect, the only other guy is maybe Josh Jacobs who is also a RB. I would have loved Pittman or Higgins but it’s not happening. You gotta improve somehow this may be the best way to start.

The Panthers have a big gap in talent offensively compared to almost every team in the NFL. Ideally a stud WR or two would be attainable but looks like that’s not happening. There is one (maybe 2) players that could change the Panthers offense drastically. A player that can take pressure of Bryce, and be a focal point for defensive schemes. That player is Saquon Barkley. I know paying RBs is frowned upon, but Having a RB that can both run/catch at an elite level like Saquon immediately changes the offense. We have seen what CMC did for our offense. Barkley carried a terrible Giants team and Canales clearly wants to run the ball. He isn’t shy about saying it. I’m not saying it will happen, it probably won’t, but signing Saquon Barkley would be the most impactful signing the Panthers could make on offense going into this year especially with all the WRs staying put. You have a QB on a rookie contract, now is the time to load up on talent and take a chance. Also don’t even mention Miles Sanders as a lesson in signing RBs he isn’t in the same stratosphere of talent that Barkley is, Fitterer is a moron.

His arm is perfect? Either your trolling or your the worst judge of talent this board has ever seen. It’s literally a FACT that his arm is subpar. His quick (smart) decision making was supposed to make up for this, but clearly that wasn’t the case. His deep balls never have a chance, defenses didn’t respect them at all and why the hell would they. Face the facts, Bryce is gonna need to rely on talent around him to be successful, because his talent is sorely lacking..

If the Panthers don't get Ben Johnson it's gonna end up being Evero and Morgan (GM). Nobody else wants this job..

Bryce's peak would be current Tua, but Tua is 6'1 (215lb), not 5'10 (barely 200lbs). Tua needs an all star team around him offensively and all star play caller to be successful. Basically Bryce doesn't have good odds of being a success here at all.

This report is pure clickbait. The only true WR1 is Davante Adams, and he's not coming here to this disaster. Tee Higgins has potential but are we sure he's a WR1? He will also command big money. The one guy who has shown he can compete against the top CB's and be successful is Cortland Sutton. There is an injury history, but he seems to be getting better every game as he moves away from the knee injury. He's also very likely to be available. I definitely don't want Jeudy. Claypool actually has more raw talent then any WR we currently have but he's a head case and also more of a WR2. If the Chiefs traded for him tomorrow everyone would lose their minds tho. Darnell mooney is another talented guy who is available but he's not a WR1 either. Mooney is still better then anything we have honestly. Hollywood Brown is a low end WR1 i guess...

Reich wasnt the first choice, he was the only one who wanted this job. Ben Johnson and Sean Payton laughed at us. They knew this was a dead end job.

Not only Fitterer who is an absolute joke of a GM. But David Tepper who is the single worst owner in football. He needs to just get out of the way as he has no idea what he's doing. Any credibility Josh McCown thinks he had is also gone, nobody can take his QB evaluations seriously either. They gave up the farm for a weak arm, unathletic midget.

For everyone that posted in here defending Fitterer a month ago, the original post was spot on. Welcome to the great enlightenment. Too bad it's going to be a bumpy next couple years. Just wait until we give the Bears the first overall pick that could have been Caleb Williams..

Every team in the NFL today wants a QB who fits the profile of being athletic, tall and have a strong arm. So what did the Panthers do? They took a short, unathletic QB, with a noodle arm, who melts the second he sniffs a defender around him. Look at the stats from last night. If you can't complete passes without a clean pocket and 6 seconds to throw its not going to work out well. I'm glad they traded the best offensive weapons playmakers we had for this poo. Unfortunately we're gonna have to ride this out for 3 years until Fitt and Reich are finally fired. Fitterer has been the single worst thing to ever happen to this franchise and has set us back a decade at least. Reich sucks but he wasn't our first choice, nobody wanted this job and could you blame them? Glad Tepper who knows nothing about football let his wife decide that Bryce should be the pick because he was a good dinner date. I suggest you find better things to do with your sundays then watching the panthers for the next few years, it's gonna be ugly.

Vegas over under for the Panthers i've seen anywhere from 7-7.5. Thats gonna start coming down once they wake up and realize how bad this team is. Realistically because the division is weak, i think we can peak at 6 wins. I wouldn't be shocked with 5 tho.

Can't wait until Mr. "In on Every Deal" trades for Jonathan Taylor 🫣. Instead of wasting money on jags like Hayden Hurst, Thielen and Miles Sanders in a year with "low expectations", maybe he could have signed a legit DT or OG for the future. Instead he put lipstick on a pig team, a team that is going nowhere, anyone who thinks otherwise needs to take the blinders off. There legit aren't many offenses that look worse on paper than ours...all i can think of are like Houston and Arizona, and its close lol.

I know Fitt likes to be collaborative with his coach, but most coaches are terrible GMs and just want “their guys”. Miles Sanders is not a good running back, he totally took advantage of having defenses worried about Hurts last year. But Reich wanted his guy so we overpaid. At what point does Fitt build his own team and not try to make everyone happy all the time. That was the one good thing Gettleman did was not give a F about what people wanted, it was all business and building the team he envisioned. What is Scott’s vision because I don’t see it or any plan whatsoever.
