In Travis Hunter territory now….why get T-Mac when you can possibly get Hunter.

I’d be all for Hunter. If Pats go get Tmac for Drake Maye you go run to the podium. Just got to hope Prime doesn’t tell him to force himself out of here.

You still draft him any ways. Balls in your court. I believe he plays the wrong position to make those demands, but that why DM and the staff need to sell it to him.

Who was the receiver we had that used to body catch almost exclusively if he wasnt dropping the ball his first season... was it Samuel? And he ended up buying a Juggs machine in the offseason. Iirc, by the time his contract was up here he ended up being one the most clutch receivers, if not the top, on 3rd downs. 

XL needs work but I've seen enough of his strong catches in college to be optimistic for potential. 

XL wasn't a body catcher in college. He may be making an adjustment due to the wrist injury. If he's out there he needs to catch the damn ball, but we shouldn't be anywhere near giving up on him.

I tend to agree unfortunately when the issue is body catching.  

Randy Moss was body catching all the time.  XL needs time and work.  He is just raw.  I think he is a #3 guy but he still has upside.

I appreciate the optimism but Legette is garbage. He can't play.

That said, WR is definitely on the list of needs. If you can contain Adam Thielen we're almost at checkmate. 

On paper ..next year AT, Coker and XL will not be enough IMO. Even if the rookies are improved next season we'd still need another reliable vet and a swing at WR in the draft. 

You might be thinking of Philly Brown. I could be mistaken but I don’t recall Curtis Samuel having a drops problem.

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
