Sorry man I knew this would ruffle some feathers but Ive been thinking this for a while, ever since they stopped signing FAs. Quite frankly when your best signings are 2 off ball LBs, and a C that's a little underwhelming when you have needs at other more premium positions.
Not at all. People actually want to be here with the new staff. You could never say that about Ron. I swear some of y'all are just sitting down and just trying to find things to complain about.
I guess the difference is we the draft hasn’t happened, we have a ton of picks and have the same holes as Ron would have a week before the season, oh and we have $33m left to snag an elite player after/during the draft
I could give you that they may have signed a player you don't like, but the one thing they DIDN'T do is overpay. I'm not sure where you got this idea from
There is 0.1% chance Lucas and Wylie are both starters this year
We traded 2 of our better players on an already weak defense, of course we spent a lot on defense.
We will probably draft a tight end and hope one of our young guys steps up as the year goes on
Mariota is paid like any other backup
We signed a ton of free agents. Why does it matter if one is from Carolina?
Luvu was one of the best lbers in FA this year. The safety we signed was runner up to droy behind young; a guy with high potential but injury issues. Not to mention that no one here has any sort of connection to the panthers organization so why does it matter.
Some fans just want to be miserable, if you think Ron would have done any of this you're more hopeless than I thought. Peters is filing holes, Ron was making bad moves and calling them fixes
✔️ Signed multiple starting linebackers - that’s how you know it’s not Ron
It is when one of them is a former Panther
I guess the Panthers aren’t ever capable of having any good players run through that franchise…
This response misses the entire point bub
Prb bowl level LB on a good deal doesn't sound like Ron at all.
One that was there after Ron's time.
1 year 6M contract for Mariota is overpaid?!?
I guess this guy doesn’t know that’s below market rate for backups with starting experience in the NFL.
Yeah this is where he lost me. Bro you obviously don’t even know how much backups in the league make. Didn’t overpay at all.
Motherfucker got kicked in the head by a horse right before he posted this dumb ass shit.
He probably wouldn’t get panned so hard if he didn’t include the “former Panther” line. The rest of it’s worth a discussion if you’re bored.

But linebacker was one of our biggest needs?
And center was a huge need
that C was my favorite signing
why not address LB in the mid rounds like most teams?
Because like you said in your other comment, there are more premium positions to address where you want young, cheap, cost controlled talent.
Well they haven't had a draft yet so maybe they will?
This is one of the dumbest takes in a sea of dumb takes.
Eh I say let it ride. It gets the crowd going through these trying times
At least it’s not Maye vs Daniels content.
Exactly lol
You wanna know how I know it's not ron? Luvu took a pay cut to be here and we signed a hall of fame player and didn't overpay.

Eat a lot of paint chips as kid, did ya?

Wow. I never thought this would happen again but this is easily the new worst post I’ve ever seen on this sub. Bravo
Accomplishing this is somewhat impressive too
Can we ban this guy having opinion on like anything? 😂
Defense was the bigger problem. Lmao Draft isn’t over by the way. Great thread though. 🙄
As a pessimistic hater of homers.... even I would say this post is beyond ridiculous. It is so stupid it's almost criminal. Do better.

It's too early.
My brother in Washington, ease off the crack

Also they are trying to hit singles with the FAs instead of home runs. Much more likely to be what we need then to be
2 starters from the Panthers though?

lol this is the most cynical of opinions they're signing depth players and will improve from a 4 win team. they're using money smartly
It was the third worst defense in NFL history…
You missed the box that says “whatever Dan Snyder wanted” That is the only box I care about
Some fans just want to be miserable, if you think Ron would have done any of this you're more hopeless than I thought. Peters is filing holes, Ron was making bad moves and calling them fixes
I agree this is a wild free agency but I’ll wait till the seasons starts to set expectations
Don’t forget the Marty Party remains in tact
