Personally, I don't care to pick outside the top 5 at this point. Joeckel or Star I think are in range, but pulling out the stops to get a couple more wins do no good. Start the young guys, see what you have in them and start next season now. Foles starting for the Eagles for the rest of the season is smart for them.

We will obviously have some new starters because of injury, but get some new guys in there and use these last games, with live bullets to better next years team.

I would even say, let Anderson play the second half on the upcoming games.

Why not put Pilares in? Who knows?

Might change all the WR talk or at least make is less of a priority. If you are not planning on using Anderson next season, then let him go and do not put him in. At that point, who knows what we have as a backup.

I said play him in the second half, not the whole game. This season is over, you have your Cam jersey that you sleep in each night, and it does not mean losing culture if everyone knows what you are doing.

I'd like to see Gettis actually play. Also work in Joe Adams in the slot. To be brutally honest, the only team we have a chance at beating the way we're playing is the Raiders. And even that is looking bleak. We should have no problem getting a top 5 pick.

There are so many directions we could go with a Top 5 pick.

LT, CB, DT..

2nd round pick also.. RG, WR, S..

We aren't that close to competing unless we pick up some quality FAs. Enough with these Nakamura-type pickups.

I would adjust that to say..

first round: best available OT, DT, OG

second round: best available OT, DT, OG, S

We should be 100% focused on the LOS. CBs are a dime a dozen.

If i'm not mistaken, PIlares is on IR (Rivera made that move to bring Gettis to the roster)

You might be right come to think of it, the point was to get as many guys out there as possible. We have so many folks wanting to draft a WR first, but Adams, Pilares, Gettis are still unknowns. And with Murphy and Lafell, we might be stocked at WR. But again, who knows. Put them out there now

      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.
