We have to figure out our future core team

Everyone on defense is expendable outside of Brown (which he may never recover), Woods and Horn. The young linebacker we have needs to be here. But the rest of the front seven can literally go. We shouldn't be running three down lineman. IT DOESN'T WORK. At least the offensive line is mostly fine. Thomas needs to sit on the side of the road and Sanders be #1 for experience. Mingo can go, Carter can stay, Miles Sanders SHOULD NEVER SEE THE FIELD.

This organization needs to plan for the future and those looking for a trade now to fix everything, it isn't happening. Usually trading for WR midseason never works out. But if we can get someone to take Sanders and absorb the contract, that should be the #1 goal. Chuba needs to absolutely stay as does Dionte.

Someone else said it best, this needs to be treated like an expansion team at this point. Everyone except Brown, the two guards and Brooks, Leggette and Trevin Wallace along with the kicking specialists and Jansen should be subject to being traded or cut.

This is what bad drafting will cause.  Long are the days where we had a legit core, which we even maintained during consistent mediocrity.  

Hunt OT, Lewis OG, Brown DL - known commodities worth staying a while longer.  That's about it right now.

The 2024 Rookies - continue to develop and see through.  They've seemed promising.

Of the rest, there are a few okay parts like (Horn, BC, Icky) but that list dries up quickly.

Yep. All of these people are yelling "trade, trade, trade". We have nothing of value to trade.

If draft picks are so valuable to building a franchise, why would a good GM give away draft picks to acquire talent from one of the worst 5 teams in the NFL?

We'd be lucky to get a 3rd round pick for the best player on our roster. Acquiring an extra 3rd (an most likely a lower pick) isn't going to make result in a big roster improvement. 

As you pointed out bad drafting has caused this. We have traded away a several 1st round picks (CMAC, DJ Moore, and Brian Burns). What do we have to show for it? Our record speaks for itself.

I would say the actual core is basically just Brown.

Potential core: Horn, Ikey

Older core: Moton

Players that make little sense to jettison: Hunt, Lewis, Ikey, rookies. 

Additional guys I would personally keep(price dependant) but not attached to: Woods, King of Pop, Dalton, BC, Corbett

Everyone else is pretty much just on borrowed time.

My goodness people!

 

We have no talent. The core is basically Brown/Horn. That's all we have to build around. Make it simple just start drafting better.

 

Y'all have been preaching rebuild ever since Tepper took over. When done traded all our stars. Just draft better that it point blank.

I'm hesitant to say Brown is a core piece right now. It all depends on how and if he recovers from his injury. If he's drastically reduced when he returns, trade him, if they can sucker some team into a decent return.

He is a core player whether we like it or not. He just inked that deal. Trading him is cap suicide until after 2025.

As long as Tepper continues to run the football decisions you get nothing.

That is my ultimate fear.

Signing Dionte to a deal would be such a waste of cap space and his time.  Nice player but hes too old to be in the long term plans and he will want to get paid. Use that money elsewhere, like defense. 

His comments recently make him seem very much like he does not want to be here.

      Panther sign two defensive players

      By Basbear · Posted

      Well between you and I...... I thought Jamin Davis would be the better MLB over Micah Parsons.........That is my worst miss in the last ten years. I thought ron rivera knew one thing very well and that was MLBs, my trust was broken.   Like my guy mr snow above states bring him in the circus of misfit toys and see if theres something he can give this group. Hes still young and cheap, i mean panthers have PS level LBs, the odds are in his favor. I have not follow his career at all, but hes got to be scared to hit or something big for the commies to wavie him.

      No, we don't need to see Bryce Young again

      By frankw · Posted

      At this point there are undoubtedly things going on behind the scenes we aren't privy to. We can only make assumptions. But I do think it is safe to say the fact we still won't go back to him speaks volumes in itself. Seems to be a matter of when they officially move him not if. I've been waiting to see Bryce Young play well for over a year now. I'd have loved to see it. If anyone out there is holding out some bizarre hope that he will suddenly turn into a franchise QB one game this season I don't have a response to that because it is quite literally an insane notion. There's no delicate way I can put that. We don't need to start Bryce to get the first pick this season. I think the highest we are going is 2nd. We are that bad from top to bottom.
