Talent evaluations are already rolling in. Now we have to build with them
With the season nearing its halfway point, the Carolina Panthers are going to be tasked sooner rather than later with making some hard decisions about their roster. The roster, even if it were healthy, is clearly not talented enough to compete consistently in the NFL.
This season had been about talent evaluation. It is a time to determine the value of everybody from Bryce Young to Jammie Robinson. Guys like Xavier Legette, Ja’Tavion Sanders, Trevin Wallace, and Claudin Cherelus have raised some eyebrows in recent weeks. Others, not so much.
The question in front of most fans and observers of the Carolina Panthers is what to do with the quality players we have when the rebuild process could last longer than the primes of some of their careers. That means the likes of the newly signed veterans like Robert Hunt and Diontae Johnson and the longer standing Panthers like Taylor Moton and Derrick Brown, to name a few. So this week we’re asking what you would do if you were Dan Morgan. Try to build soon around the solid corps of talent that you have now or trade them all away for as much draft capital as you can find to build for later?
We’re also asking who you think should start at quarterback this week since Dave Canales is somehow still getting asked that inane question at every post-game press conference. Let’s put this one to bed.
