Moves to improve from last season.

In order for us to get over the hump I feel these moves or SOME of these moves (obviously we won't do all of them) need to be made in this coming FA period.

1.) Eric Weddle - would clearly shore up the backend of our secondary and would be a huge addition. This seems like a marriage guaranteed to happen.

2.) Janoris Jenkins - I could only imagine how unreal the combination of Jenkins and Norman would look. Problem is Jenkins wants to get paid and play as a #1. But let's say Gman had a plan of landing Jenkins for CHEAPER than what an extension with Norman would cost next offseason. It would be interesting to see us let Norman walk next offseason and use the difference between Jenkins and Norman to keep our defensive tackles intact next offseason. To me keeping Star and Short is more important than Norman as much as I love him here, and Jenkins would be a great backup plan.

3.) Ladarius Green - He's VERY athletic and can block... He obviously wants an opportunity to be a number 1 Te after being in Gates shadow for years. We would have to sell him on the fact that in our offense him and Olsen would both essentially be number 1s and used in tandem almost every down. I feel another TE is a must for us to progress from how we finished last season. Having a dual threat TE to go with olsen is huge because we can leave one in to block and help the tackles while still not taking away from the passing game. 

4.) Lamar Miller - How can the number 1 rushing offense possibly get better? The answer is PURE SPEED. Lamar Miller would be an X factor for our offense, and would look amazing in the read option with Cam. We are in need of speed in the back field. Don't get me wrong Stewart is a phenomenal between the tackles RB, but our backfield does lack break away speed to keep the defense honest.

5.) Anquan Boldin - This move to me seems long over due and I felt we should have traded for him when the 49ers did. That said at this point in his career he's not a number 1, but is obviously a solid upgrade over Cotchery (who is not coming back). Also underrated is his blocking ability and in our offense to me that is more crucial than his effectiveness in the passing game.

These are my top 5 options in no particular order. I personally didn't include an offense line move because I feel we will be addressing that some point in the draft along with DE. Let me know what you guys think, would you be happy with these moves, or do you have some other guys on your radar?

Yeah, I can almost guarantee none of these dudes are in charlotte next year. Every single one of those dudes want to get paid more than we are willing. So unless one of those guys just gets NO interest from teams for a week, they won't be suiting up for CAR next season.

 

Doesn't mean I wouldn't want them to!

Boldin would probably take a fair deal, actually.

Not sure about the others though.

1. Scott Chandler

2. Louis Delmas

3. Pacman Jones

4. Reggie Bush

That list is at least more reasonable. We could not even afford one on the other list except maybe Boldin.

      Bryce Young PFF - Week 16

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      It was great that Brady was able to step in as our center on short notice... but center overall needs addressing this offseason.  Getting worked up about the QB has been a Huddle tradition since I've joined almost 20 years ago. Jake Delhomme is not a franchise QB. Start Chris Weinke. David Carr will push Jake. David Carr crumbles at the slighest sniff of pressure. Matt Moore may be the future. Matt Moore doesn't care about being the starter. Clausen is a limp pickle. Cam can't win close games. Cam can't throw an accurate pass. Cam should've dived on that fumble. Cam should've not gone after that Chargers player and hurt his shoulder. Teddy can't throw past the sticks. Darnold's a dumbass. Mayfield can't throw a pass without it being batted down. In other words, I can't get that worked up nowadays because I've heard most of it before already. I will say BY's getting more of the Jake Delhomme Huddle hot takes now, which I'll take as a positive improvement from where he was before.

      Who here was NOT HAPPY we won yesterday....

      By Castavar · Posted

      I'm usually pro tank in situations like these. Like when Rhule was fired, I wanted us to tank hard and trade anybody worth a damn and just continue losing. I also wanted us to tank that last Saints game in like 2020 I wanna say to get a better pick. However, this year just seems different. I feel like we have something with this coaching staff and building some culture and personality. At some point you really do have to figure out how to win close games. This year feels like that year when Cam and Co just kept losing close games and went like 6-10. Then the following year we just showed out. And like others have said, we've been so ass at drafting that it has changed my whole mindset about wanting to tank and lose games. Fug that, I just want a win wherever I can get it now. Yesterday felt great!

      At this point I'm indifferent to wins/losses and solely interested in seeing team and staff development on the field. In general, growing teams need to stay mindful when winning certain types of games to not let it mask continued on-field deficiencies, whatever they may be for a given team. That's where the quality of the coaching and FO come in and that's where the rubber will continue to meet the road if Carolina pulls out more of these types of games. This season is nearly a wrap. My metric for success was continued improvement and development on the field and I think it's fair to say that that is happening (degree is debatable, but it is happening), a stark change from prior regimes. Improving this offseason will be no small order and time will tell how things shake out.
