A team should always be putting at least one or two draft picks in at tackle and guard each season. Those guys just don't last nearly long enough and those that do get very, very expensive. In our situation, we need a little more time to see what the Icky injury works itself out to. Njiman performed really well out there and if this injury lingers into the next season, then he might do well enough there to hold the line for the team. Or we could draft early if there is a stud LOT in the draft when our spot comes along. Honestly, we may be looking at replacing both LT and RT this season at this point. Moton is getting long in the tooth and while he deserves a shot to go for a playoff run with this team, I don't know whether we will really see him come back next season yet. It's still so darned early in all of this to say.

Because we had a ton of things go our way this year and made the playoffs with a -70 point differential. This year was the outlier. Regression to the mean is unavoidable. So the team will have to significantly improve to beat 8 wins next year.

One thing I noticed in this game (and I say this as the biggest of Bryce Young haters) is that Bryce did do a solid job of throwing into voids in this game, and leading receivers on crossers. There were a few times where I was thinking "where the hell is he throwing it" only for a receiver to appear out of nowhere and catch it in stride. Mike McDaniel might be a guy that can squeeze a little bit of production out of the otherwise ghastly Bryce Young. His offenses heavily feature that style of passing game. I've heard Idzik is drawing interest from other teams. If so, bringing McDaniel in at OC would be a stellar move. I know it'll never happen, but fun to think about.

Hopefully whatever back we draft doesn't let the ball hit him in the face.

trade the pick, pick up 2x 2nds from the Jets or Texans. 3 picks in the 2nd would help.

I’m torn here. Mu concern pre-season with Princely was his mouth/ego and wondering if he could back it up or if it would cash checks his rookie ass wasn’t able to support. I like a voice and someone that says what’s on their mind, but as a rookie, I needed to see Jared Verse or Will Anderson type production for all he was saying. That being said, he’s not wrong. I often times wondered why we saw so little of him and thought how on certain plays, he would’ve made an impact. He did not have a great year and was mediocre at best. When we drafted him, he was more of a project that would yield results in a couple years. I hope he didn’t burn a bridge yet and comes back in 2026 ready to earn his time and show the folks that doubt him that he belongs in the lineup. We are absolutely going to draft or bring in a FA EDGE so the clock is ticking on 3.

We need to be prepared for him not to return at all. Hoping for the best but that's a serious injury.

I think a tackle in round 2 or 3 makes sense. We have guys we can shift over to LT to survive if Ickey isn't ready in time. Round 1, I don't see how we can go anything other than LB. We need a psychotic LB who plays with his hair on fire and can take away the middle of the field.

Need to address defense, but still BPA is always the best way to go...

I'm going to get , but maybe move off Jc Horn while his value is high, before the concussion history becomes an issue. Build with Mike Jax...

It's a foregone conclusion he will miss 6-12 months. That leaves a significant hole at the position but not long term. A lot of reporters are penciling us in for a tackle at 19, which I don't think is a bad idea at worst you can slide him to right tackle seeing as moton is getting up there in age. But I don't think that does anything to get us over the hump. If we draft a tackle at 19, does that make us better than we are vs the rams? Does that give us better pass rush or more play makers? I think you can draft a tackle down the line sure just to fill in for a while until ickey is back but I wouldn't invest a first round pick in a position just because a guy might miss a month at most of football or so. I would resign josh, brady chris and address holes we have no answers 2. If you want to take a tackle or lineman after the 3rd round a project go for it.. but the holes at linebacker edge and a play making tight end and deep threat are the reason we are at home now. Not the back up left tackle who played decently. What say you?

Im glad he finally did it considering bank of america has been a graveyard for stafford his entire career up until that point.

Though the scheme isn’t my fave and still very passive, I do agree about seeing it with a full arsenal this disposal. A true alpha at ILB, another edge opposite Scourton and one more dominating force on the DL to help out Brown and I think we see better results. We’ve spent three years loading Bryce up and surrounding him, we’re almost there with the D.

100%. Simple reversion to the mean leaves this team around 5 wins. The division won't be as bad next year. We won't get the same breaks. Making the playoffs with -70 point differential. That was the equivalent of Bryce's 2015. We just saw the best possible outcome.

Need to have more games like Saturday night and less games like Arizona next year. Our dudes better god damn play in the preseason.

Agreed.

I think a guy who went what 2-7, 2-8 down the stretch has shown more stagnation and less upside than a guy who Atlanta down the stretch showed promise and upside.

Bryce put up similar numbers as Herbert against the pats. That’s with our better run game and OL, put him in a worse situation (chargers last night) and he’s toast. If you don’t have anything else to say besides lol ok like a child, kick rocks.

Truthfully. A bit concerned about Horn personally and professional 2nd concussion in six weeks and concussions are not something to,play with it is a collision sport he didn’t seem himself after the first concussion Not sure the severity of the second but if I were the Panthers, I’d be looking for a young backfill with potential…higher than what they have right now

lol okay

Sorry I watched every Panther game this season and watched last night, Bryce wasn’t beating the pats.

It is likely that OT just became a massive need. Especially considering Moton is aging.

Sorry but if you watched us all season and watched that game last night there were at minimum 3 clear sacks Herbert took that Bryce gets out of. Seen him do it over and over and over again this year so I’m comfortable saying he takes at minimum 3 less sacks. That game just played perfect to Bryce’s strength which is extending a play and keeping eyes downfield or scrambling for a little 8 yard gain when you need it. that was 100% a Bryce game, defense played out of their mind, only need 17 points, extend 3-5 times and get a few critical first downs.

If you’re being objective the only one is Jones assuming he comes back 100% from injury. Willis has more tools but I’m not sold on him being a long term starter guy yet.
