Currently the Carolina Panther blueprint for success looks pretty good.

[Evengelion]

Hard hitting Physical Defense travels wherever you go.

Mobile multi-threat QB that can attack a defense in many ways.

We need that Percy Harvin game changing player, although the Hawks have been good enough to get where they are largely without him. Stewart and DWill can match Lynchs' production if 28 could stay on the field but can they fit under the cap?

A CB or two couldn't hurt.

Can Ron Rivera continue to inspire and lead the Panthers the way Pete Carroll is doing? Love the Panthers but not sure how the AP chose Ron over Pete.

 

2014 looking very bright, we're on the right track, pretty boy AFC trash like the Broncos can't compete.

We can also use their sure handed receivers. Those guys aren't superstars but they catch everything thrown to them. Seattle will be even scarier once they draft a TE.

[Wanderlai]

Seattle and 49ers are better than us. Packers, Cardinals, Rams, and Saints are strong. Atlanta will be back. We must get some weapons on offense. I think GMan will get us there. 

[Brooklyn Bully]

The blueprint is indeed on track. The team, however, isn't there yet. We can't continually beat the Seattles or San Frans just yet. Hopefully G-Man can work this cap chaos and improve our holes. It will work in our favor, though, that the 9ers and Hawks are in the same divison. 

[Khaki Lackey]

Love the Panthers but not sure how the AP chose Ron over Pete.

Probably because the only adversity Pete has gone through is going 7-9 and he still made the playoffs.

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

Quite frankly we need one real solid addition at the cornerback position. If we lose Hardy I would love to gain Verner in free agency.

 

Then in the draft, it has to be weapons and protection for Cam for at least 4 rounds. 

[King Schit]

Thinking about who we need to resign, what FA to go after, and our cap space hell gives me headaches... and thats not even including draft thoughts...glad I don't have G-man's job...I want to re-sign Hardy, but acquire Nicks...we probably can't do both...I say WR in Rd 1(especially if we don't get Nicks), but some of you that think otherwise make good points why...our D does need secondary help, but that same D ranked 2nd in the league...our O was not bad but if it was juuuuust lil more productive we could've been better by a large margin

[Evengelion]

Sherman was listing the UDFAs and 6th and 7th rounders making a big difference for them. We need to get our scouting department to work.

[PantherPhann89]

We're closer than we have been in a long time. We certainly need a top WR, one or two very good OL, one or two great CB. We can't mimic Seattle because we don't have those types of CB. But in our system, better CB than we have, will make our defense great...

[MrBubba]

Manziel and tall corners just had their draft stocks go up.

[mcdougal]

I feel a hell of a lot better about our team after seeing how this season has ended up.  In retrospect our offense wasn't nearly as bad as it looks.  We struggled against great defenses but took care of business against everyone else.  I few pieces here and there and we are good to go.  

 

Exactly. Given how offensive talent and the teams we had to face, our offense did okay for what they have.

 

Get a WR or two in the mold of Boldin or a playmaker like Harvin, and I would expect our offense to do much better.

[CPcavedweller]

We don't need Percy Harvin. We need an intermediate passing game and receivers who come back to the ball.

[Panthers111]

The Broncos had the best offense in the league this year. Best QB, Probably the best WR/TE core, but you know what if your Oline cant hold up then your QB and WR/TE will suck. 

[Kuech the Sneak]

We need improvements in certain areas and we should be a good team for years

Too specific. Be more general.
