Position Free Agent Wishlist

What are all the players you deem that the panthers could reasonably go after that would fit the Panthers organization and be considered an upgrade? By Position Prioritize them 1-7. They do not necessarily have to be needs. No re-signs. Go in thinking that we won't address the position with the draft.

1. QB: Yeah.. this is obvious. I'm going with Volek. He's scheduled to be a free agent and he's going to want to be a starter before his career is over. He isn't a longterm solution.. Clausen will lead us back to Luck, but do we really want to tank another season for 1 player?

2. OG: Carl Nicks, Saints wouldn't have a serviceable run game without him, they'll have to make some tough o-line choices this year on who to keep. Nicks might be too expensive if it means losing 2 other starters in the process

3. TE: Zach Miller, with what Rivera has said about having a do-everything TE, Zach Miller is a really good playmaking option

4. CB, the obvious choice would be for Asomugha, but I say no. I'm going with Antonio Cromartie. Asomugha is a shutdown corner. He locks his side of the field. But it sucks when we want turnovers. Cromartie gives us someone that teams can think they can Pick on. Somewhat like Richard Marshall except more athletic. Can't get Turnovers if people don't throw your way.

5. LB: Ben Leber. We don't know if Thomas Davis will be back. Leber is an instinctual football player that can play multiple positions.

6. WR: James Jones. Dude will want to get paid, he's young enough that he can compete, athletic enough to earn it, and has been a part of Green Bay's impossible to defend passing attack. With Steve Smith being questionable at this point in his career and a promised aggressive passing attack, we'll be needing those extra WRs now.. (suck it Fox and Davidson)

7. RB: Leon Washington. Would be nice to have some legit returnman options instead of the no-names we usually go with.

If James Jones becomes a FA we need to sign him. He's a stud in the making.

Zach Miller is a no-brainer. We WILL make a hard run at him if he hits free agency. Rivera coached against him for 3 years in SD and knows how good he is. My only question is if Oakland re-signs or franchises him.

Your post was going good and I was enjoying it until I got to the part were you said that we shouldn't go after Aso. While I agree that we shouldn't go after Aso it is for a much more logical reason. Not going after a DB because he is so good he shuts down half of the field is insane. Especially if you are promoting going after an over-rated player in hopes that we could score some INTs.

Aso is going to want a contract that is going to make him the highest paid DB in football. A DB of his caliber on the FA market is almost as rare as a top talent QB make it to FA. Personally I just don't think sinking that much of a % of your cap into one player is worth it. Someone is going to offer him something stupid and to match or beat it would be idiotic.

1) QB vet. Volek

2) I think Kalil walks so i see the Panthers signing two offensive linemen. Since i have Carolina drafting a center with the 3rd pick, i like Jonathan Goodwin as a vet leader/mentor. Also like Chris Chester from the Ravens. He can play guard and center, that's two good inexpensive players.

3) Need a tight end and i'm down with Kevin Boss of the New York Giants. 6-6 260.

4) I really like Johnathan Joseph @ cornerback. Played at South Carolina and is from Rock Hill.

5) Linebacker? I don't know if Davis or Anderson will be back. If not, i like Thomas Howard of the Raiders. Big guy with speed.

6) I really don't think the Panthers will go out and sign a star wideout. Someone like Jacoby Jones is more like it. Can return kicks.

7) Would love to grab Snelling or Kuhn. Both can be a real weapon at FB or RB.

8) The last guy on my list is DT Barry Coefield of the Giants. Him and Fairley would be a dam good combo.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of immature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.

      I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch

      What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
