Hangartner likely moving elsewhere to start

We've known this could possibly happen with the rumors flying but it now seems it will come to fruition

http://blogs.charlotte.com/panthers/2009/02/hangartner-looking-to-start-elsewhere.html

As much as the Carolina Panthers would like to keep key backup offensive lineman Geoff Hangartner, it now appears he’ll be moving to another team.

Hangartner’s agent, Eric Metz, said today that he does not expect Hangartner to sign with the Panthers prior to the opening of the free agency signing period at 12:01 a.m. Friday and that he expects Hangartner “to have starting opportunities elsewhere.”

Metz has been assessing the possibility of the Panthers re-signing Hangartner in the past week, including at the NFL combine in Indianapolis......

Unless they address this in free agency, a quality OG backup is now a big need in the draft. Perhaps with our 3rd or 4th round pick.

We'll they like the dude and Bernardeau a lot it seems. it's still a need, but I don't think it's that big of a need. I also think they'll address it in FA similar to what they did last year. Gantt says Rb is a need in the draft's middle rounds

god forbib, but what if Stewie or D.Will goes down this year.. we need to have some sort of contingency plan.. with Goings gone, we are a little thinner than before.. do you have a ton of faith in Birmingham

The thing with replacing Goings is that you need someone that can be an effective runner but is really more or less a special teamer. I think Birmingham could be that guy. Do I have a lot of faith in him? Not really but its not like he is being asked to be the backup RB. He is being asked to be the backups backup. Should something happen to Williams or Stewart, the other would just have to assume more of the work load. I doubt they would have asked anymore out of Goings in that type of situation.

    • I just want somebody to settle into that Hangartner role and I may give Mays too much credit. He played so well early and has fell off since injuries crept into his vocabulary.  He was struggling to get push on those goal line runs today. 
    • You cannot say it doesn't matter who is playing QB ever in any circumstance. The first two games of the season, Bryce was standing in the pocket with time missing throws left and right. We were running the ball well, but even the gimme throws Canales was setting up, Bryce was missing. Then you start Dalton, boom easy win at Las Vegas. By week four's end, three of our best defenders are seriously injured, center injured, 2nd best veteran WR hurt, and best veteran WR quitting on the team.  Canales is a rookie head coach, and he definitely has had some see what sticks moves. But players are being schemed open, the rookies are progressing nicely, and you have the albatross of some terrible lack of talent to phase out. I give him credit alone for pulling Mingo, Thomas, and going with the better/younger producing players. The scheme is better, he just needs better players and I am not going to write him off until he gets more talent, starting with QB!
    • I don’t want this to be another Daniel jones situation.
