Carolina Panthers riding with roster they have following trade deadline

The Carolina Panthers were quiet on Tuesday.

The Carolina Panthers stood pat during Tuesday’s trade deadline. For the most part, I think that was a smart move. Do they have holes in some places? Yes, they absolutely do. However, they are holes that can be fixed. They also have unanswered questions when it comes to who is on the roster. However, those can be answered.

For starters, we don’t know what the quarterback situation is going to be for the Carolina Panthers this season. We have seen what Kyle Allen can do. We have not seen what Cam Newton can do. It will be interesting to see how they manage the quarterbacks moving forward.

The line, although decimated by injuries, seems to be holding its own. Once they get healthy, they should be in a much better place at that position. It seems like the injury bug has hit the Panthers hard this season, and the line is a place it has affected.

If anything, I would’ve thought the Carolina Panthers would make a move for a wide receiver. With Chris Hogan on the shelf, the team could definitely use depth there. Maybe the asking price was too much for some of these receivers. May be the Panthers felt comfortable with the direction that the unit was going in. I would’ve definitely pulled the trigger on maybe a smaller-name receiver. The depth is thinning at the position. There were reports that the Panthers were interested in Emmanuel Sanders, but that never came to fruition.

I’m curious to see how Carolina responds against the Tennessee Titans this Sunday. This is a game that they can win, and they will need to bounce back after a tough performance last week. Time will tell if the Carolina Panthers made the right move, by not making any, at the trade deadline. Personally, I think they could’ve used some help at the wide receiver position, but it wasn’t such a glaring need that the Panthers will be doomed without it.

These next couple of weeks will be a wild ride for the Panthers. The schedule will get tougher, and the playoff picture will begin to come into focus. Hopefully, Carolina will be in the middle of it. When this team plays to their full potential, they are difficult to stop. More concerningly, another loss could make their road to the playoffs even more challenging. If nothing else, the Panthers have had enough challenging times already. They certainly don’t need additional stress.
