Panther Inception

I think our WR corps is a little better now than when we lost Ginn. Curtis is simply a luxury we can't afford. He's a WR3 and will lose targets with the return of CMC. Loved watching him, but we need to let someone else pay him to be a WR2 and make good use of the comp pick.

Out WR corps is infinitely better now than when we had Ginn. But I still would rather keep Curtis, especially if he can be signed at $10mil a year or less

It may be more likely than most think.  There are a TON of excellent WR free agents this year, and the salary cap is going to be an issue for almost every free agent.  He may find his market more like 8 or 9 million a year, and we could probably afford that depending on our quarterback situation.

I agree, but remember what happened once Ginn left? I hope we don’t see a repeat.

One thing Curtis had that Ginn lacked were these things called hands.  It was frustrating that the guy could run past DBs to get open, have the ball hit him right where his hands would be (if he had them), and bounce away and fall harmlessly to the ground.

I liked Ginn, and it was not like defenses could just let him run free because he would catch one often enough to make it worthwhile to have somebody run with him, but I held my breath every time a pass headed his way.

    • Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair. 
    • it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
    • Sounds like a plan. Those are the teams we should be mimicking! lol
