We kick it off with some questions about roster spots
I don't know how much cap space is left in the Panthers salary cap.
But I have 2 questions James.Q1: Lance Briggs LB. The Bears don't seem to be in a position re-negotiate a new contract. Could the Panthers make a move for him, seeing we are thin at LB. And its possible Jon Beason will return a lesser player after a serious achilles injury?
Q2: Since Smitty is being double covered on every play and Nanee and LaFell's inability to get open consistently. Don't you think Riley Cooper from the eagles at 23yrs old 6'3 and 225 lbs could become our Jordy Nelson or AJ Green? Don't you think he would be a excellent target for Cam especially in the RED Zone and thus allow BAMF and Co to focus on drafting a DT and an explosive LB or CB in the draft next year?
1. Briggs would be a nice addition, and it wouldn't surprise me if the Panthers go after him should he become a free agent and the price is right. However, he would not fill the role of Jon Beason. Lance Briggs is a natural OLB and would take the place of Thomas Davis if he wasn't able to return, however age does become a factor with Briggs when this team seems so devoted on building through the draft.
2. I don't think quite as highly of Riley Cooper as you do. I think he could be a decent pick-up if the Eagles choose to cut him for some reason, but he's no Jordy Nelson and certainly no A.J. Green. The Panthers need to cement the #2 spot at WR, but there's no reason to think David Gettis can't do that when he returns, and thus far he's proven far more than Riley Cooper.
More after the jump
A question about the near 350lb elephant in the room...
I've got an idea about the injuries to Otah. I'm wondering if his constant injuries are a result of the difference between the college game and the NFL game. What I mean is he was drafted in 2008, correct ? That year was when he was a stud for Double Trobule, as a rookie. Ever since then he has had injury problems. Could it be that the problem is simply the rigors of the NFL are too much for some players ? Unlike some fans, I will not question his toughness (he's a BIG man and he could hurt me) !!! What do you guys think ?
I think you're right on the money on all accounts. The fact is, the bigger a guy gets the harder it is to stay in shape and injury free. Large guys are constantly walking a tightrope to keep themselves as big as possible, but also to gain as much mobility as possible- sadly with players like Otah and Kris Jenkins it's just not always possible to find that balance. When it's all said and done Otah is as talented a RT as you'll find in the NFL, when he's on he field he's dominant, but it's probably time to start realizing he's the next in a long line of players who couldn't find the balance between weight and conditioning in the NFL.
I noticed other coaches are changing quarterbacks. What would be wrong with putting Anderson into the game to give Cam some relief?
If the Panthers find themselves in a position where they're up big in a game then I have no doubt they'll cool the jets and sit Cam. However, as it stands we've been pretty much down to the wire in every single game. Unless the Panthers go on a tear and lock up a playoff spot, or we start blowing some teams we might see Anderson for a little while, but for the most part this is about getting Newton as many reps as possible for 2012 and beyond.

Comments
were in for the year were in for
There will not be much change in the make up of the team as it stands. What we have to think about it what will happen next year and possibly the next year. For quite a while, hopefully, we have our quarterback. Next year, I believe, we will have a lot of cap space due to front loaded contracts done this year. That tells us that they were planning for much of what is going on now.
What does this have to do with anything in this post?

Is that really the only way to get Cam off the field? Not sure how you would gameplan against it……..
What does everyone think of T.O. coming to Carolina?
Despite his age, I still think T.O. is talented & would be a great upgrade to Naanee. His workout vids show he still has something left in the tank.

I think if the Panthers were sitting at 4-3 right now they may consider bringing someone in, but this year is more about getting the players already on the squad as many reps as possible. I doubt that T.O. would have been in the running if they were at 4-3, the trade deadline just passed and they made no moves, alot better long term solutions available, and right now this team is thinking long term.

learning the offense
I just think T.O. would take too long to learn the offense and get into the rhythm of the offense. He would have to answer to Smitty, and that would be an issue for him. We have too much going on for the coaches to try to teach him the offense. If we had a shot at the Superbowl, and felt he was the missing piece, I could see it, but I’d rather go with Randy Moss is if we’re going for older guys who don’t like to be told what to do.

Not so fast my friend!!!
I believe that TO would be a tremendous upgrade over Legadu Naanee. He wouldn’t require more looks than Cam already gives to Naanee, and it may cause the safeties to double down on him and Smith which should open up our run game that much more. Our Tight-ends would benefit from this move also, and Cam will have a more reliable person to throw to.
Big ticket is that we could get him for cheap because he just wants to get back out there on the feild at any price.
I say heck with it make the move. We had games where “LA” was targeted 7-11 times, throw that much to TO and you’ll see the difference.

I may not always be right, but even a blind nut finds a squirrel every once in a while.
get ready to get flamed on that question by many...
But- IF, and only IF he can fully accept that he is the #2 wr, and all that the position means- would I even begin to entertain the idea of a rest-of-year contract.
But really, this is a rebuilding year. A year to get some young players some needed positive experience. As much as we want to see the W column increase, I don’t see this type of deal as beneficial to the grand scheme.

He wasn't nearly as much of a drama queen in Cinci
He still did everything with the “TO flare” but as I said, it wasn’t nearly as bad as it had been in years past. In fact, between him and Ochocinco, he was the more grounded of the two, if I remember right.
absolutely not
He’s a bad locker room influence
He’s 37
He was knackered after a few routes
He’s a diva
I also disagree that he’s an upgrade, I would rather see more lafell.
Finally I think the fact that nobody from an nfl team showed up to watch him says a lot.

I think it is a terrible idea and it serves no purpose other than to stunt the development of our young team.
Not to be confrontational, but I didn’t think his workout showed anything people didn’t already know. Obviously he’s not in high demand as 0 people showed up for his workout. I know it was broadcast on NFLN, but please. Someone will probably be desperate enough to take a shot at him, but it won’t be the Carolina Panthers.

I doubt we'd ever see Derek Anderson...
Even if the Panthers are winning big with Cam at the helm, I don’t think the coaches would pull him. What would they be trying to “save” him for? We’re not going to make the playoffs by turning around a 2-5 record with our upcoming schedule. Far more likely, they’d keep keep Cam in the game, let him continue learning, AND let him keep breaking those rookie QB records. In other words, I don’t see a situation where they’d ever sit Cam in favor of giving Derek Anderson more playing time (barring an injury situation, of course).
Just my two cents,

Would we see DA. Some of those acrobatic leaps in the RZ worry me but I just remember how big the guy is.

Here's my question...
Why are people so obsessed with our offensive production?
We have more than enough weapons on offense right now. Obviously, Cam is our biggest, but there’s still Smith, D.Will, J.Stew, and Olsen. That’s more than enough to give our young guys some time to get better. I’m really interested to see how Gettis will do when he comes back. He was lightning quick last year. If he’s still got that step, he’ll be dynamite.
This a little history-lane time, but does anyone want a theory on what made Smith the dominate receiver he is? Honestly, if you asked me, it was his 2004 season, the one where he spent the entire season on IR with a broken leg. After that year, Smith really broke out and took his game to another level. It makes me wonder if Gettis will come back just as strong or stronger.
I agree, I was thinking about Gettis the other day.
If he’s got the drive to become great, I think he will be great, especially in this offense.

Pretty much because..
We’re a pass heavy team right now and people seem to think we need two top WRs when that’s not the case. We’re pretty much running the same offensive scheme as SD right now and Malcolm Floyd is doing about the same as our #2, #3 WRs. Our offense relies more on the TEs than #2 WRs. But pretty much to answer your question everyone (including me) just wants more firepower for Cam Newton. I mean, who needs defense when you can put up 50 points a game right?

I wouldn't complain if they picked up T.O. for the rest of the season.
But I don’t think we need to. Naanee hasn’t done bad the last 2 games, Lafell is doing well, Smith is having a great season. No need for T.O. here.

Ponder on Mike and Mike..both praising him for how well he played…13-32 219yds 2 tds 2 ints..while it is the packers and our own Cam Newton threw picks against them..13-32 isn’t good in my book. If Cam had a game like that his first start he would of been ripped apart for being inaccurate..Its all good though. I think we have our hands full trying to stop Peterson and Ponder rushing..i think we get can some picks though if we get some pressure and i think our Offense will feast on the D as long as we can get a hat on Jared Allen every snap..Another week Cam is going to be the more experienced QB going into the game. Heres hoping Panthers make it two in a row!

Cam’s game at GB was decent nothing great and his statistics are far beyond what Ponder did. Just seems every other rookie qb gets praise for minor things while Cam gets critiqued

The expectations are always going to be different.
Cam won the Heisman, the National Championship, and was #1 in the draft. Of course he’s expected to do better.
Most of what I heard about Ponder was along the lines of “pretty good”, “better than McNabb” and “enough to hold on to the starting job.” What I saw was decent, but not great. I think he’ll get better though.
I think Ponder met expectations, meanwhile Cam is blowing them up. At least the media is coming around to it – I love when the Panthers get positive national press!
oh people are deff coming around but it has many have waited to now week 8 mid season to start their praise…like they couldn’t believe what they were seeing and waiting to see if Cam came back to earth so to speak. Ive seen Cam vs Luck and Cam vs Vick past few days on ESPN and Majority picked Cam everytime.

Cam's making a lot of people eat crow
All the ESPN talking heads had Cam taking years to get to where he was week 1, but here he is out performing even his pre-draft supporters expectations. That has left a bad taste in these guy’s mouths, so when theses analyst see any other rookie QB doing anything positive they will jump on it. People tend to forget that the Vikes have the No. 3 rush offense and No. 4 rush defense and those two factors will keep them in games, same with the Bengals who have the No. 2 defense. If the Panthers had a top 10 (no. 17 presently) defense or could develop into one we’d be talking playoffs right now.

Didn't Cam also rush for a TD against the Packers?
But 20% more completions and almost 13 points more in passer rating. IMO there really is no comparison. Cam played way better. And I’m not saying that because I’m a Panthers fan. The facts are in the stats.

Rushing TD's
They should have a total TD stat because that is one thing I think is overlooked when they compare Cam to other QBs. I hear all the time about his TD/Int ratio but they don’t take in to account his rushing TDs as well.

*Ponder was the 4th QB taken
I think the key to stopping Ponder is to stop his receivers. Their depth at WR is a little shaky, and if our DB’s can match up with their WR’s one on one, than that affords us more blitzers to confuse Ponder.

Ex-Bucs great Lynch: QB like Luck arrives ‘every 15 or 20 years’
Sure, but if you’re rooting for one of this year’s sinking ships, the choice between a few listless wins or the chance to grab the next Tom Brady — or Cam Newton, for that matter — seems like an easy one. Still, it’s the biggest hit-or-miss position in sports — for every Peyton Manning, you have JaMarcus Russell, Tim Couch and Ryan Leaf setting their franchises back half a decade.

Nobody is surpassing him in their rookie year…plus other #1 teams are not nearly as set up as we were. We had money to spend and made a nice trade to get Olsen. How many teams picking #1 have two TE’s Two std 1st round pick RB’s and a beast #1 WR like Steve Smith? not many…Carolina and Cam was a perfect storm

Honestly i wouldn’t touch our offense..maybe some OL depth in the draft but WR i think we are set. Steve isn’t going anywhere for the next 3-4 years and we got young guys up and down the depth getting better. Gettis Laffell and Pilhares are a nice 2,3,4 option next year i believe. RB is set QB is set TE is set…so other then OL depth were good on that side of the ball. Defense we need help. Also i prefer defensive players on special teams where we also need help…i say we draft starters/depth at LB,CB,DT,DE,and Safety..a kick off returner would be nice as well although Hogan and Pilhares could step into that role with better blocking

that was a different looking offense with Ponder at the helm than Dmac; Not saying he’s the latest and greatest, but we really shouldn’t be overlooking him either…

it would be hard to not have the offense look better Donavon in a shell of his former shelf….their is a reason the redskins rather go into the season with Rex Grossman and John Beck then Mcnabb. Ponder being a improvement isnt saying much. He has good movement but he was off on a lot of passes

He's mobile and was able to help guide them to 27 points...
we typically struggle against mobile QB’s, and pairing that with a tough day already (having to face AP), I don’t think we should be underestimating Ponder.

He is pretty good in his own right.
Having AP to lean on makes him (and any QB) so much more dangerous.
We are going to give up points. That’s what we do.
Twaa...
I like the guy
If you actually watched the game you’ll know what I mean. His stats don’t tell the story, kind of like Cam in the Pre-season. He has a crazy fast release and is mobile. He was pretty accurate and he just made some rookie mistakes that were expected. I’m not saying he’s gonna light us up Sunday but I think if we score early this could turn into a pretty good shootout
CAM....CAAAAAAAAM

I hope you guys are right
Because I definitely see him being on the cover at some point. It just worries me… And anyone see the article about Peyton Hillis’ Madden curse extending to all Pe(a)ytons? Sean, Manning… kind of funny
If Tebow has a remotely decent season, he'll be on it.
I don't always fail, but when I do...
I do it awesomely.

any one see the TO interview on nfl.com?
“I want to go to a team that’s on the cusp,” or a playoff contender, he said.
That includes the Carolina Panthers, where rookie quarterback Cam Newton is off to a strong start.
“Cam Newton is amazing,” Owens said.
That’s when things got interesting.
“He’s getting praised, but I guarantee you if (Broncos quarterback Tim) Tebow was doing what Cam was doing, he’d be all over billboards,” Owens said. “He’d be on every commercial. He’d be all over the place.”
he put them on blast about cam hate!
This has been a public service announcement.......
I've never really been fond of T.O. but you gotta hand it to him
