So, exactly how long has it been since this team had a legitimate roster, complete with a serviceable O-line, and a QB you could actually hang a loss on? Cam Newton, 2015 season? 

It's been 6 fugging years since this team was almost whole and complete? It's been 6 years since the last time there weren't glaring holes on the roster, like an O-line, or DBs, or a running game, a franchise QB?

6 fugging years since a fan could sit down, watch a game and know that the only reason the Panthers should lose is because they get outscored. Not because they have no O-line, no running game, no DBs, etc. and all the other good reasons this team lost games.

2017 was a pretty legit team as well.

And that ONE year was an anomaly.

gotta just roll with PJ, he compliments a run heavy offense with his legs 

Did you not see him fall flat on his face when he had a very wide open lane to run in?

It needs to be made into a gif with Benny Hill music, or Three Stooges "wub wub wub wub" or some silly "doink bonk" noises.

I'd love to see what he has, tbh.  It's not like PJ is our answer at backup let alone starter.

Ofc if Darnold is ready that's a moot point.

Someone spent a decent Draft pick on Morgan. Nobody drafted Walker.

I'd much rather see Morgan on Sunday.

What do you consider to be a 'franchise' QB?

In my opinion there's only like 10 of them in the game - everyone else you're always trying to upgrade. 

This team is much better than it was under the last years of Rivera - he and Hurney left us dead in a ditch. It looks like he's taking Washington to the same ditch now.

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      By Lurk21 · Posted

      Random,  if the Giants do take Carter... and try to trade Kayvon...  I would think about it. If Sanders gets to 8 and they want to trade up from 3(I know that's far) by adding Kayvon and pick swaps in next couple rds and a future 1st or 2nd maybe... Id be game. They pick at the top of each rd, so we'd get talent spill over, a pass rusher with yout/ skill and still have that 34 pick to get a wr etc.

      JOE PERSON: the sense around league circles is Panthers will take Jalon Walker @8

      By Jon Snow · Posted

      Those guys you mentioned are ILB at the next level. They will be really good too. We could use any of them and like you I hope we can get one of them later on in the draft. The teams need on defense is great than the amount of picks they have. If they are sticking with the 3-4 base they will need another ILB and a OLB that can play DE in 4-3 packages. The front 7 is far from complete and the secondary will not get every need addressed this offseason. The talent is just not going to be available when we are picking I'm afraid.

      There are very few players in this draft that don't have a concern that could cause someone to not like them---I think the longer a player hangs around the top 10 (beginning in February) the more their flaws could withstand the scrutiny. Some fall too far, in my opinion, and are thrown into the scratch and dent bin.  Jack Sawyer (Ohio State) comes to mind, Shavon Revel (East Carolina), Restrepo (Miami).  I wonder if it is not that we found things through research, it could be that we exploited trivial things.  You can't measure the "it" factor. Those three just mentioned--I would have no problem drafting them at a discount.  Restrepo ran a 4.8--not as big a deal as people think--he is going to be a chain-moving slot--he will be sliding underneath, finding a hole in the zone, etc.  Great hands, great attitude.  I take him in the fourth.  Jack Sawyer is the high motor over-achiever.  I think he can be a 8-10 sack guy, block a lot of passes, and hold the edge.  I take him in round 3 if they let him fall that far.  Revel could be one of the top 3 CBs--if he is there at 58, I take him.  When the flaw is what you see when you hear their names, you are blind to their other talents.
