Should the Panthers make any moves over the bye week?

[ThinkAboutIt]

I say, yes. I still think they are one "good" WR away from being a very good offense. Norwood obviously can't catch anything with a defender on him and Philly Brown is not physically-gifted in any way. 

I bet Duron Carter feels like a fool right now. He'd be getting those plays and opportunities Norwood is, and he'd probably be catching them.

If you think they should make a move, what is it?

Gettleman really knows his way around a D-line, so if he can find another DE to upgrade our pass rush then I'd be all for it. We need more pressure on the QB in a bad way, and especially so now that Atlanta has their passing game cranked up. 

Philly is physically unimpressive to put it nicely, and he's not really a speed guy. What he has is agility, but that's just not enough for the long run. He'll be gone at the end of his contract. WRs are hard to come by, but sure I'm in favor of any kind of upgrade.

Yeah, they should move the Seahawks game from Seattle to Charlotte.

Norwood obviously can't catch anything with a defender on him and Philly Brown is not physically-gifted in any way. 

That's actually one of Norwood's strong points, and Brown is gifted with speed.

Only position I'd make a move on now would be receiver, but because of the time it takes to learn the position, I don't think any move available would make a dramatic difference.  Much bigger than making a move is getting healthy, that is the most important thing for this team right now.  If we come out against Seattle with Kuechly, Cotchery, and Daryl Williams back while getting Stewart, Fozzy, Tolbert, and TD back to 100% we've got a hell of a good chance against them, especially if they get banged up even worse than they already are over the next 2 games.

These moves!

Yes, trade something for Boldin.  I think his salary is mostly paid and he's a FA next year.  The 49ers know they aren't going to compete this year and may take a low pick just to get something for him.

I think Boldin would compliment well with our speed guys in Philly/Ginn and add some toughness.  Other than that, not sure.

Literally the slowest man in football coming into our offence sounds like the worst idea ever.

[JJman Returns]

When Brenton Bersin, Jerrico Cotchery and Ted Ginn are your 3 most reliable receivers, then yes, trading for someone is not a bad idea

[Zaximus]

That would be Bersin.  Boldin was never a super fast guy, but he has good hands (that we don't have) and can catch it over the middle and take some hits.    We need someone with some dependable hands since it's obviously Funchess isn't that guy this year.

It wouldn't be as bad as you think. Besides Olsen we really don't have a receiver that is a red zone threat 

[Snake]

We really just don't have WRs period. Ginn and Brown are our starting two WRs.  That's not really even a great 3rd and 4th unit.  Funchess has shown no flashes at this point either so that's bad, not really his fault but it's bad team wise.

I feel like Dave wants to and has some ideas, but realistically who's out there?
