Young Offensive Playmaker


Match.com

Recommended Posts

Last season was a complete turn around for the offense compared to the previous 2-14 season. The key addition of 1st round draft pic Cameron Newton and offseason acquistions like U of Miami alum Jermery Shockey and Greg Olson took the league by surprise. Steve Smith a talented player loss was now found in new offensive system with competent QB play was able to top the charts statistics of his respective position. That being said the Carolina Panther ended the season 6-10 with 8 out 10 losses comming in heartbreaking fashion. The defense was riddled by injury and the run defense had more holes than a mesh strainer. Now, weeks from the draft with defensive need a must we might have to reach for a defensive player....When the best player available at our position would most likely be an offensive player. we must make a trade.

My money is on Micheal Floyd....less three and outs and the best defense is a good offense...the nfl is changing. Sooner than later we are be watching professional flag footbal....Corners and recievers....

We've got too many defensive holes, I don't know if I'd want a WR at 9. Smith, LaFell, Gettis and Pilares + our TE's, + our RB's + Cam. 1st) We need a solid CB. 2nd) pass rushing DE or pocket collasping DT. 3rd) LB, although I'd hate to pass on Kuechly and 4th) a Punter. Everything else is gravy.

Pilares hasn't done diddly poo. Gettis ran the deep vertical well 2 years ago......

We are still too heavily dependent on an aging Steve Smith. One who has been known to have things break on him fairly frequently

I agree on the defensive holes....but I wouldn't be upset with one of the 2 WRs

I don't know what Steve Smith you're referring to, but 89 hasn't had anything breaking freaquently. Pilares and Gettis has proven much more than any WR we could draft.

2004- broken leg

2009- broken arm

2010- broken arm

2 of the breaks didn't result in major lost time due to when they occured.

3 breaks. He also plays like a maniac even in the preseason. Carolina eventually in the near near future is going to need to draft Cam his WR

    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
