Read MoreNew and exciting times here in Panthers Country, but we've got the same decision to make at the quarterback position. Have we learned from our past, and will the Panthers be able to tailor a playstyle that fits the new quarterback prospect? Countless mistakes were made with Baker and Sam, and you can certainly blame coaching and organizational problems as the root of the problem. Do the Panthers have the wherewithal to avoid the pitfalls that tons of highly touted quarterback prospects fall into? We don't want to mortgage our future on a quarterback that isn't set up for success. But we also don't want to pick a guy who doesn't match what we ultimately want to do on offense. We've been down a similar road before, Panthers Fans, and this time we must get it Reich!
Read MoreThe Carolina Panthers made a significant move to bolster their offense in the off-season by signing veteran wide receiver Adam Thielen. Thielen brings a wealth of experience and talent to the team, which should help them compete in an NFC South division that is up for grabs.
Read MoreNot many prospects coming into this year's draft are as polarizing as Anthony Richardson. The chatter around AR started months ago as he was touted as one of the best quarterbacks in college football. This was despite only having only 22 starts at the position and a career completion percentage of 54.7%.

Read MoreThe Carolina Panthers' decision to trade DJ Moore to the Chicago Bears has left a void in their wide receiver room that needs to be filled. The Panthers will have to be active in free agency to find a reliable veteran receiver who can provide stability and leadership to their young receiving corps. They may also need to invest in a wide receiver in the upcoming NFL draft to add depth and competition to the position.
It's crucial for the Panthers to surround their young quarterback with the best possible talent, and that starts with the wide receiver position. With Moore gone, the Panthers' remaining receivers - Terrace Marshall, Jr, Laviska Shenault, and Shi Smith - are young and inexperienced. While they all have potential, they may not be ready to carry the load of a passing game that already struggled last season.
The Panthers will explore all options to fill the void left by Moore. Whether it's through free agency or the draft, they need to find reliable options for their quarterback. This will give him the best chance to succeed and grow as an NFL quarterback.
The Panthers need to be active in free agency and possibly the draft to bolster their wide receiver room. The departure of DJ Moore leaves a big hole, and the Panthers need to find a way to fill it. If they can add the right pieces to their offense, they could be well-positioned to take a step forward and compete in the tough NFC South.

Read MoreFrank Reich said his first order of business was putting together one of the leagues best coaching staffs. It was largely his plan and ability to put together a top-staff that reportedly separated him from other, less-experienced candidates.
