Niners Nation on Panthers Offseason Adds

While David Carr will not be a starter (at least in the near future), he was definitely a high profile free agent pickup. Carr has spent most of his NFL career flat on his ass in Houston. If Delhomme were to get hurt or prove ineffective, Carr could very well get a legit shot to run with things. While it might be easy to declare Carr a bust and be done with it, you could just as easily argue for extenuating circumstances in Houston. While I like Jake Delhomme and hope he does not get hurt, I can't help but be mighty curious to see how Carr would look at the helm of the Panthers offense.

While the Panthers did not make a huge impact in free agency, I think they did a very solid job in the draft. I was one of those here on the Dwayne Jarrett bandwagon and think that he could make an impact in year 1, especially without the pressure of being a starter right off the bat. Jon Beason is going to get a chance to start at OLB right away, while Ryan Kalil looks to be groomed as the center of the future. While I'm clearly a big fan of the 49ers draft, I am impressed with Carolina's haul.
