FIXED....FIXED....FIXED... :cornut:

NO skin off my A$$.... FIXED... I like Edwards. I thought he would be ROY but to be ROY you have to play.. Thanks alot JF.

Haha... We could have just agreed to disagree

[C47]

Armanti Edwards....ROY.....

[Seal (SmittyIsOurSavior)]

We must keep Robert McClain. He's my only UConn guy on the squad.

I was reading the article about Cam Newton being a possible first in the 2011 draft for us. Considering last years QB situation was atrocious, I just hope 2011-2012 does not turn into another “rebuilding” year for us.

I have always believed that coaches and staff maintain a level of insight that is not readily known to most of us. But if this is in fact the case, I am beginning to question my faith in this (however new) staff.

I hope I am wrong.

If we draft Cam Newton #1 overall, it will signal that this franchise is rebuilding more so than any other move we could possibly make.

A few disagreements:

Jason Williams: I think they like him--he played well until hurt.

McClain: Tough, scrappy CB. I think he could be gone, but not if Marshall leaves. I also think Pugh will become a CB.

Yes, it sure would. I don't think they are in that mindset. I keep hearing them saying that they can turn this around quickly. Cam Newton would be a two-year plan at best. Heck, any QB in this draft would.

I believe you are talking about Jamar Williams the LB we got for Chris Harris from Chicago. Jason Williams was only with us 5 weeks when he got hurt.

11/3 Jason Williams aquired off waivers

12/13 Jason William on IR torn left ACL

Even if you are talking Jason Williams at best he is borderline. I don't think a frontline player would be available 2/3rd of the way through the season on waivers. I don't think with the LBers we have there will be room for him on this team. MAYBE...BIG MAYBE Special teams.

I am really satisfied with Pugh, McClain and Stanford. Great pick-ups late in the season. I believe McClain might hang around.

BOLD ARE KEEPER ITALICS ARE POSSIBLE PLAIN GONE

IMO these are the folks that will have a job in 2011 for the Panthers providing there is a season and all of our Core Free Agents are signed.

I think because of the new staff very few beyond the starting line up will be locked in on this team.

Of the italics I think are gone is Robinson (bust) Brayton (no longer needed) Rosario or King but not both(if we dont bring in a FA). I believe Barnidge is more of the TE we are looking for providing he can improve his blocking. I also believe that if we use a 2 TE set, King is more of what we want than Rosario. If we bring in a Free Agent I wouldn't be surprised to see Rosario and King let go.

Charly Martin was having a good preseason and looked like he might make the team when he got injured. I think he has a better chance of staying just because he reminds me of Proehl (I said in preseason)

Moore or a Free Agent will be here. Pike I think should be given a little bit more opportunity to show what he can do. If he hasn't improved his arm strength then let him go.

I think the RB corp is by far the most set position. Dwill, Stewart, Goodson and Fiammeta make this a good unit add Sutton and it is set.

I like our defensive ends and I think Brayton will be cut loose. Keeping with the new tradition of letting the young blood play. I see some exciting times with Brown, Johnson, Hardy and Norwood with this new defensive scheme. Though Norwood is probably a tweener. Taylor is history.

I like Landri, Nesbitt and Hayden but I believe Johnson is our only set guy on the D-Line. IMO is why we will draft Fairley. We just really don't have much there. Only because of his motor do I think we keep Landri. Landri next to a beast like Fairley could really do well.

Linebacker is like our RB corp. I really think if we keep Davis we will be pretty set with our LBs.

DBs I like and hopefully Marshall will wise up and know he has a starting position on a team that is going to be good next year.

Pugh, Stanford and McClain from last years draft might really be steals. They will definitely provide depth.

I know many people have slammed Hurney for the picks he has made and some of the trades he has made have really bitten us in the A$$ but he has made up for it with some late round luck. Gettis, Stanford, Pugh and McClain all might end up being good steals for us.

I do hope we fill our needs with some midrange players like we used to. Many of them have panned out. Much better than the High Priced ones we had.

Though not the expert that many of you (hahahaha) This is how I see it playing out. I await your comments.

I pretty much agree, especially with the keepers. I usually don't dive too deep into the reserves until FA. With the CBA, who knows when that will be.

You might be right. we might be picking 1st in 2012 if the NFL and NFLPA don't get their heads out of their A$$es and get a deal done.

[panthers55]

I think that one huge factor that people have to take into account here is that Hurney will be deciding who stays and goes from all acounts I have read. Richardson intimated that prior coaches made too many of the decisions on personnel and that the FO would make those decisions going forward. Given Hurney moved up to take Edwards he is going no where this year. The same goes for Clausen. I suspect that like in the past decisions will be a group decision but I think that Hurney will get the ultimate decision making power.

[DaveThePanther2008]

I hope he does because we gave up the 33rd pick in the draft for him. Which is another reason why Green will not be our pick in the 2011 Draft.

If Edwards in the Mix we will have 4 receivers already. I don't see us adding a 5th WR who will fight for time with Gettis and LaFell and hopefully Edwards.
