I don't think our WR need is as dire as our OL need. We have Kelvin and Olsen as dependable targets(INB4 BENJAMIN SUCKS HE REGRESSED) the rest are pretty ho-hum but we can plug in some draft pieces and dumpster dive for some depth. The biggest thing is keeping Cam upright long enough to be able to get these guys the ball or the OL giving enough time for them to get open.

That's another problem. With as much money we just gave Matt, he HAS to be our LT now. We put ourselves in a tough situation.

Forgive us for seeing cap room and hearing false reports all along about being more aggressive etc. 

We have been a huge disappointment so far. Have more holes now than we did before free agency started.

i mean Bersin is currently our PR.

Dude, it's only been the FA period for 15 hours. We already signed a starting LT to a multi year contract and are currently working on trying to sign Munnerlyn and Peppers. 

I or you might not like Kalil, but it's an actual big name, big contract signing. Just because we didn't sign that one guy you happened to like doesn't mean we're throwing in the towel or don't have a plan in place or guys we're targeting. For the past 5 years people have wanted us to make a day one signing. Well we did. Now they're still bitching because it wasn't a WR with the same redundant skillset our guys already possess, or a Safety that didn't even want to play here. 

We don't have more holes than when FA started, stop being chicken little. We have 1 fewer. We signed Kalil and shepard to give us LT and ST help, but lost Ginn as our #2 WR. That's a net positive of 1 hole filled. 

Give it at least a week before you guys panic. Jesus.

I understand being upset because we had a losing season, but do we need to exaggerate so much on how "bad" Funchess is?

Ted Ginn he is not but he isn't slow, and bad hands? Seriously?

Dude was open all year. His issue was that KB and Olsen were the first two looks, and then Cam either already threw the ball, or got buried by a"legal" helmet to helmet.

Besides, Cam already proved that if you give him some time to throw, it doesn't matter who the receivers are (2015). It's all going to be ok.




And fug Diggs, dude was a tease in fantasy after a hot start. Product of a dink and dunk offense. Seriously, I do like him though, but even Diggs would have struggled here last year. Our whole team basically lost a year.

Open all year? Next gen stats showed Funchess was the 3rd worst receiver in the entire league when it came to separation. He was literally the slowest WR at the 2015 combine 

Cian Fahey actually broke it down on tape our receivers were as bad if not worst than our protection. They were never open.

Sorry to break it to you Funchess is and was never good. He still having the same problems he had at Michigan 

Diggs>>>>>Funchess

The first day of free agency, where the big splashes are made, is not Dave's style. There are still some good values out there, that in the long and short term, will more efficiently fill our needs.

It's not always about the highest priced free agents and divas. The bigger picture includes taking care of your own, and adding guys who are hungry to contribute, fulfill their potentail, and win a championship. Sometimes that's a younger guy with upside who hasn't found traction for different reasons like Kalil, Patterson or Wright. And sometimes that's an older guy still playing at a high level like Pep, or a guy who may be perhaps undervalued like Cruz. Moreover, the complete picture includes the draft, and the draft can't be overstated.

Just be patient! Dave has a plan. He's not a fool! And neither is Rivera.

Well we're definitely going to be better then last year.  WRs can't get open if Cam's on his back.  It's only been the first day of FA and obviously since Ginn(yesterday) bolted WR just climbed up our list of needs.  

GMAN has signed a starting LT.  Less then 24 hours after Ginn has signed elsewhere we have his replacement signed in Sheppard.  We've had Cruz come in for a visit.  Pep could be coming back, which will have monster benefits both on the field and our younger players.  If we make a strong push for Patterson and bring back Munnerlyn why would anyone be bummed out? How would we not be set up for the draft?

Also we've brought CJ back, we've tendered Norwell.  DG has had a good offseason imo.

I'm not disappointed in the least so far in the FA period for the Panthers. Heck, I'm sitting back waiting to see what is next.

Gettleman knows how to do this. I've got faith in the guy.

This has been the best four year run in the franchise's history, but some people can't help but whine and panic.

What physical tools? He's slow with bad hands. I don't care if he's 19 and he still sucks. We have to upgrade.

 

People have been telling me Funchess would prove me wrong since we drafted him and I said Diggs was better.

Oh well honestly it wasn't hard to see that Diggs was better. My issue is we pass on guys like Diggs because we have faith in Philly Brown. And then you let him walk, if that was going to happen why didn't you replace him with BETTER talent

Diggs>>>>>Funchess 

Funchess was injured at the Combine and shouldn't have even run. At his pro day he ran a 4.47.

Diggs was a 5th round pick (iirc), so many GMs missed out. 

If Funchess isn't good, we'll find out this year. If it turns out that he is, you be ready to eat your crow.

Im happy with this off season so far resigned key players and signed kalil which could work out good for us.

Thank you! I am actually happy as well. After years of absolutely nothing happening for days in FA, G-man takes action on day 1! LT was our biggest needs and he signed one of the top prospects out there. Sure I was hoping he'd be cheaper, but the reality of the situation was that the deal isn't that bad. Whitworth and Okung got bigger deals and Okung is no better than Kalil. My only concern is that Kalil stays healthy. 

G-man also grabbed a slot receiver, arguably our second biggest need! Sure, I have never heard of him, but six teams were chasing him, so I have to assume he's got skills, right?

He's retained our D-line (also, rumor has it that Pep is on his way home). Once he addresses our secondary, we really can go into the draft looking for BPA.
