we need a wide receiver or running back not a tigth end so we need to go figth for zach thomas or Randy Moss.

I'm heard this report on a couple of website put what is the Key word is that Marty Hurny didn't say that we're not intrest him in I will wait and see about this one my gut feeling tell me the Panther is still intrest in Alge but they will wait to see him fully healthy frist.

We really need a wide reciever like D.J. Hacket and we REALLY need a DE we have nobody next to Peppers. NOTE: Giants beat New England Thanks to their front defensive line.

We can probbably get a DE in the draft (first pick) and maybe (I doubt) Kenny Phillips second because his stock is falling really fast.

I'm not sure if Crumpler is the answer after seeing this kid Keller at the combine! I do know we have something with this King guy already. Hope to see the Panthers make a move soon RB,HB,WR,T,DE,QB,MLB something! Dante Stallworth at the number two WR position what do you think? I see we past up on Zac Thomas! We have Beason I know but we got to fill a spot here! MLB Conner would be a great pick up in the draft! Why is'nt Carr released at this point I dont understand! Another thing I've already mentioned before. If available our first pick could be Branden Albert if in fact the Panthers thinks he's the best player on the board when we go to pick. He's come up on all the draft boards. At the combine they are saying we are needing a QB if so I think John David Booty will slide and fall right in position for us to pick up later in the draft. I dont see us drafting another WR in this one like they are saying! I just hope Carolina has a good draft and we jump up before some other teams do and feel some of our needs in time before all the good players are gone to other teams and signed you know?

I'm glad they're keeping their heads about them on this one. Crumpler is risky business at best, and not someone to bet the farm on. It's not like the Panthers have a glaring hole at this spot - King and Rosario were both showing some real potential. No, if the Panthers really want to make a big play for someone, hopefully it'll be a quality impact WR (not Moose) or a running back.

I don't know if you guys have been watching or not, but it's hella quality OTs and versatile OGs in this years draft. That's why I think we're going to fill the starting LT thru FA, trade down for a lower 1st round pick and another 2nd round (just like last year) and draft a stud HB with our first pick (Mendenhall or Stewart being that McFadden will almost more than likely be off the board by the end of the 1st round) and then we can draft a DE or DT and an OT in the 2nd round. Foxy clearly said that the last 1,000 yd rusher (S. Davis) took us to the Super Bowl. We all know our philosophy is run the ball and stop the run. I truly believe that D. Williams can do it...especially if we pair him with a stud like Mendenhall or Stewart. We don't necessarily need a BIG BRUISING BACK in our offense. We need tough, athletic backs that can find a hole and explode through it (see Jacksonville). Now...if we can somehow steal the guy from WVU..Schmitt..in the later rounds that would be MARVELOUS.
</br>
Now on to this WR situation. I don't care what anybody says...Moose will be a Panther next season. I don't give a f*ck what anybody says about age. If you give a competitor like Moose the opportunity to win a championship in the twilight of his career...he will produce. Ask Favre, ask Seau, ask Strahan...And yes, in my eyes Moose is in their category. If we could've worked out a deal after the '03 season and brought Moose back we would've had that ring in '05...no doubt in my mind. If we had Moose that season, no way we lose to Seattle and we smash Pittsburgh cuz their secondary was suspect.
</br>
But it doesn't stop at Moose. I'm all for Berrian and/or Dante Stallworth too. I think Dante would be a better fit because he can block downfield as well as catch the rock. But there is ONE GUY on the roster that I think alot of people are sleeping on. Do your research on Travis Taylor...we scooped him from Minnesota and from what I've seen, he has hands just didn't have much of a passing attack with the Vikings and Baltimore, I think a we're going to have a competitive camp next year. Our only other glaring positions are DE, DT (maybe), and S...all of which we can address in FA and provide depth with in the draft.
</br>
We are going to have a very solid team next year. From top to bottom. I just hope that this breath of fresh air continues thru the coaching staff and their techniques and game planning...

**Thanking God for J. Richardson threatening to fire Fox and Hurney***

The Herald just reported that the Panthers really did'nt lose intest in him they just first want him to take a phsical before they offer him anything they also don't want to get into a bidding war,so is the chance of getting Alge less now? I don't know but one thing there is still a chance and that what matter.So Let hope the Best for this Offseason in freeagency and the draft.

I'd rather spend that money on a quality wide receiver and continue to develope the young guys we have at tight end. We can get a good tight end cheaper than that. We are pressed for money and have to spend it wisely.

We already have two growing tight ends in King and Rosario and Crumpler would probabily not want to be third string. Now let's get two WRs, a RB, a LB and a DE to go the opposite side of Peppers, perhaps dare I say it....Leonard Little.

I guess if this is the right decision if he would take up so much salary space but since were passing on Crumpler i really think we so raise our standards on reciever and i agree with these other guys. Muhammed is not that guy. He is way past his prime and even paired with Smitty he wont get us to a Super Bowl. I really think we should take a shot at Donte Stallworth. And since we released Foster we need to pick up a Michael Turner or Julius Jones fast. But my point is Muhammed will not cut it and we need to move fast on these players before the same thing happens with Crumpler. Yes the Panthers need help on defense at DE and Safety but our offense was ranked 31st in the league i think offense should be our first priority and it starts with a solid #2 reciever!!!!

I really dont think crumpler is at the top of the prioriety list. You guys remember how good king and rosario looked in the last game against tampa. Those two will get better with expirence. I think Donte Stallworth is a good idea. Face it guys moose is just to old, stop thinking itll be a big 03 reunion. And whats with all the talk about julius jones, he would want starters money and the cowboys cut him for a reason. Did everybody forget about nick goings. I would consider him a power back, lets give him a few carries once in a while fox. I say spend some money on a good #2 reciever and a f.s. we should be able to draft everything else we need.

omg enough!! we are starting DeAngelo Williams next year... michael turner and julius jones are going to be starters somewhere else.. plus we cannot afford either of them.... crumpler would be nice if the price is right, but he's trying to secure his future with the last remaining cartilage in his knees, so the Panther's will not be that team who throws 4 mil at him.. if this happened even last year, you can bet the Panther's would have thrown out that money, but we have two emerging pass catchers in King and Rosario already.. we will add a bigger blocking RB via FA or draft one or a FB like Schmitt to our mix and start looking like the Steelers just like Richardson wants..

i think we bring in Moose, but D. Jarrett assumes the starting #2 after the first or second game of the season when they realize Moose doesn't scare any D-coordinators anymore.. or they bring moose in on run plays because he can still block like hell ...

Yes, we really need a WR like DJ Hackett, but not DJ Hackett. The guy has injury problems and that's the last thing we need. This team cannot afford to become one-dimensional on offense again. That consistently is the problem with the offense. If one big piece gets taken out the whole thing is practically done. This offense needs to proven, talented and youthful guys who still have 3-4 years of solid play left in them. No more guys in the downside of their career or still that bit of potential that hasn't been fulfilled. On top of that, they need to focus on drafting guys who have the potential to step right in and contribute instead of having to develop a couple of years. The Panthers aren't always bad on their personnel selection. True they have misfires more than we'd like, but they also have had some solid guys come through. They just don't keep that processs going because they stick with certain guys for way too long. So we can have consistent teams that are poised to at least make the playoffs on a yearly basis if they would just follow that approach. You can't stop building and you can't allow guys to feel comfortable in their position. They are competitors by nature and need to keep at least some of that competitive edge going so their motivation and desire doesn't diminish.

Crumpler would he a nice addition and I due expect Carolina to set up a physical but w/ six other team involved I doubt we get him. Getting Michael Turner, another WR besides Moose, a FS and defensive end are all more important. Plus why is no one considering Bubba Franks as an opition and he could come cheaper especially if they could get him signed before the Crumpler inks his deal w/ a team of his choosing.

Can we all agree to remove Michael Turner from our FA wishlist? DeAngelo will be the #1 back next year, barring injury...that is the 1 depth chart position that is written in ink, next to Beason at #1 MLB. Fox and Hurney all ready said that the release of Foster was to make Williams the #1 back. Turner wants to be the #1 back and will command money of a #1 back...our original #1 back (Foster) was due a $4.75 million bonus, but we RELEASED him instead of DEMOTING him to #2...why? because that is one EXPENSIVE backup running back....NOW, with that being said...if STARTING RB money is upwards +$4.75 million...why would Carolina cut a player due that amount only to sign ANOTHER to that same #2 spot? Michael Turner has been in the shadow of the league's greatest RB for YEARS...this man is finally a free agent and can really CASH IN this off season...you think he would want to come sit behind a 1st year starter? you think we would pay him enough to lure him away from teams like Chicago who are desperate for a RB (and who happen to play in his hometown?)....I'm just sayin, we can lay the Turner wishes to rest

but i think we will sign Moose this week..his agent said that he really wants to play here and that talks with the Panthers were going very good.

Crumpler? why pay money to fill a postion in which we have no need? We just need a good draft, a free saftey and wr are our biggest concerns. I dont think we go rb till at least the third unless we get a steal.

I'd bet money that DeAngelo is not the starting RB in 2008. We will make some sort of deal, whether it be draft or FA, to get an inside runner for 1st and 2nd down, leaving Williams as the 3rd down back again.
