"Because fans make football more than a kids' game"
C3 Carolina Panthers newsfeed brings the latest Panthers news and opinions from the fan perspective.

Read MoreJust five days ago, Curtis Fuller was describing Carolina Panthers' selection of Donte Jackson at #55 overall. His assessment was featured at the top of Carolina's draft coverage on Panthers.com and he seemed to be very much in the mix of the team's selection. The following day, Carolina drafted another defensive back at #85 to start the third round, leaving one to assume that Fuller had direct input on the former Volunteer.
There were a lot of options available to our Panthers at Pick 55. There was Justin Reid, Derrius Guice, Duke Dawson, Isaiah Oliver and Ronnie Harrison all that would have made sense at this point in the draft. However, Hurney 2.0 decided to go with the
Read MoreThe wild draft that included Baker Mayfield going first to Cleveland, Darius Guice slip to the second round, and even Derwin James fall very close to Carolina's range, ended up a pretty predictable draft selection for the Carolina Panthers in DJ Moore. Sure, there were a lot of options available for Carolina when the 24th pick came along, but it seems that they had their eye on a guy all along.

If the Carolina Panthers still need a tight end, I think that we need to look no further than Green Bay's free agent Richard Rodger's II.
Read MoreThe Panthers poor finish to the season and the subsequent firing of Dave Gettleman revealed there were systemic problems that Benwikere's release tried to clumsily conceal. Benwikere was a patsy.
Read MoreMarty Hurney closed out the workweek by signing Da’Norris Searcy (SS), Jeremiah Sirles (G), and Ross Cockrell (CB). It was an important week of free agency that strengthened Carolina’s roster as dig in for the draft. In the absence of Andrew Norwell, Kurt Coleman, and the failed signing of Bashaud Breeland, Carolina had significant needs on both on both sides of the ball.
Read MoreCarolina is currently working on signing Da'Norris Searcy, former Tennessee Titan and Buffalo Bill, to help bolster that defensive backfield. Searcy signed a substantial contract with Tennessee in 2015, after thriving in a Buffalo Bills defense that was churning out top-end safeties year after year. Searcy would have been a nice fit in Carolina at the time, who opted to sign Kurt Coleman and tried to squeeze out every drop of sauce from Roman Harper.
