Okay!! 
Now a few Questions..

Do you have to do that year 1 of a 5 year experience???

If you can’t is that the end all to be all??

Have you seen the FA list right now and the draft???

Are Any of them going to be a number 1 great WR day 1???

So again is this going to be the end of this experience if you can’t get your great WR year 1??

Do you trust the staff you assembled to be able to navigate until you get the Number 1 great WR???

Okay!! lol

1) Yes, you do. Cam Newton had Steve Smith, Greg Olsen and Jeremy Shockey. This team has plumbers and truck drivers at WR and TE.

2) Oh not at all, unless you want to win games.

3) Yes. The wide receiver FA list right now is absolute asswater.

4) The most likely instant-impact WR will go in the top 12, if not earlier.

5) No, the end of the experience is when the next QB is drafted, the GM and coaches get fired, or the team starts winning and doesn't need to do those.

6) No. Take your greatest HC ever, whoever you perceive him to be, and strip him of all offensive talent. He won't win.

We’ve had Moore for years with nothing to show. Even the best WRs need a QB to get them the ball regularly. 

Right, but now you have to hope and pray you get a QB as good as Moore is a WR, and now, you don't even have Darnold-tier WRs to catch his passes.

You have to eventually try for a QB. We could have 3 DJ Moores and it wouldn’t matter until we have a QB. IF our QB looks the part we will probably make a big splash for a great WR next year when we have more cap. Similar to the Bills and Diggs.

I'm all in favor of trying for a QB. I don't trust this team to be smart enough to draft Stroud.

With what picks?

 

lmao we dont own our 1st or 2nd next year.

 

This a pipedream my man. I love the thought but we simply don't have the assets to pull off such move.

Lets just say next year, we will get fleeced

This is my freaking Rhule. You are gonna have to eventually stop you bellyaching and stop being so miserable.

The division is weak and there for the taking, and with no 1st rounder next season it doesn’t really make sense to throttle down.

 

still, there’s lot of things that need to be answered.

We’ve felt for a while like the roster was close and needed a QB, and that still mostly remains true, but we’ve presented a few problems for ourselves.

Trading Moore was necessary, but getting Corbett and Christiansen hurt in a meaningless game wasn’t. Switch to an odd alignment up front presents some roster challenges as well that will probably take two offseasons to be answered.

the bigger problem is players we were counting on developing not doing so: Gross-Matos and Henderson are high draft picks playing two very valuable positions. Neither can be counted on. 

the Panthers have a strong defensive core but it needs improvements, and so there’s the question of which side of the ball are you going to tackle this offseason and which are you going to tackle next offseason.

the smart move is to play to the talent, but you really do have to find a way to put some quality weapons around your rookie QB ASAP.

i think most can agree we need a veteran TE-I know some want a rookie but it’s just not the right moment for that. You need a proven commodity. 

there are guys who can stretch the field at WR in this free agent pool, I’d go for one of those as well.

you then need to plug a couple gaps on defense with legitimate players who fit your scheme 

i think they need to sign four legitimate players in free agency

Don't spend money on this class. 

 

Wait until next year Tee Higgins will be available no way the Bengals can afford to keep him with Burrow and Chase waiting in the cut for big paydays.

I mean you literally have to spend money on this class - we don't have any receivers in the building.

Moore has 3 1k yard seasons with 'bad' QBs throwing the ball to him.

It's baffling we've traded him away when we're about to get a 'good' QB.

yeah and that led us to multiple top 10 picks...  He needs TDs to win and he needs a good QB to throw TDs.

I rather trade for an actual #1 WR aka Hopkins 

 

We can sign WR's just don't spend big money there is no game changing WR on the FA market this year.

No more trading away picks, please.
