Im fine extending him. I just hope hes fine with getting a lower tiered contract so if someone outplays him you have a good priced backup.

No doubt. The position coaches influence stuff big time. OC and DC can pass down instructions but those guys implement. They are the every day ‘hands on’ guys. Some positions definitely get a gold star, but we need to fix this poor tackling problem. If I am Evero I am putting pressure on my staff to correct that poo.

I agree. I think the Raiders want more draft capital and are looking to move down. I think Mendoza is doomed to be a Jet or a Brown (with the Cardinals as a sleeper, depending on what they decide to do with Kyler Murray).

Perhaps, but you still can't discount what Beane has done. I'm sure Allen had a voice as well re: McDermott.

Ehlers

This is pretty much 100% my thoughts as well.

Looks like ESPN plus and HULU

Jesus this would be amazing for us, lol. If he turns out to be phenomenal it has little outcome on us, and if not, oh well.

Baltimore and Buffalo may or may not get a better HC but both of those QBs are likely to drag their franchises to the playoffs every year, lol

Got to give some credit to the coaching staff on these. You can grab top talents but without good coaching, they just fizzle out. We've seen that a lot around here.

Oh, no TV for tonight's game unless you have the NHL Network, I believe. I could be wrong, hopefully?

Early returns are great and exciting but also worth noting that Gettleman had a few drafts that looked incredible early on and wound up mostly sucking (2014 mainly). Also PFF; grain of salt, etc. I'm completely sold on Tet being a stud, knocked a high pick out of the park like we needed to and always should. Nearly sold on Scourton. Not sold on Princely but he had flashes. Not sold on Etienne as more than a 3rd stringer and special teamer, but that's not terrible for his draft position. Big fan of Ransom and think he'll be a starter. Cam Jackson : IDK, I see limited upside but we didn't see much of him Evans was a nice find for draft position and he had a great rookie year for a late round rookie TE with plenty of veteran competition. Not sure about his upside though, seems like best case is a long term #2/3 TE, which isn't bad. Jimmy Horn, personally I didn't see a damn thing from him that impressed me all year. And he got a lot of opportunities. Pulling for the kid, but not convinced he's an NFLer. UDFA: Fitzgerald was an amazing find

Hoping someone tells us Bussi was in the starter's crease for the morning skate. Otherwise, place your 1st shot- 1st goal bets! Any closer to a deal that could land a 2C in Trocheck or Brayden Schenn? Or land a winger in Alex Tuch or reach for Jordan Kyrou?

Yep, they were doing basically what Eagles did. Go by all the players pff/analytics grades and then using Eric Eager's analytics to figure out the odds of which of those players would most likely be gone or available the next round. I remember in that behind the scenes draft things they would ask Eager what the odds a pass rusher they liked would be there the next round and he said like 80% they would be gone or something like that, and he constantly provided them information like that during the draft.

Brady is the GM, so that isn't going to happen.

You must be new here.

I tend to agree. In fact, I think that as long as his draft picks continue to perform he'll be fine next year. 2027 will be different, especially if canales struggles in 2026. I expect us to do about how we did this year, minus winning the division, and them both to get one more year. With Bryce, of course.

Oh, you get past DJ and it gets depressing in terms of our franchise history at WR. We've literally only had three legit long-term WRs in the history if the franchise. I mean, a RB who only played five seasons and missed a ton of games over those five seasons sits at #6 on our all-time receiving list. LOL

Lol everyone is a critic lol i just share information to spur discussion if it seems reasonable of course ‘reasonable’ is in the eyes of the reader

He was on the staff at the Rams when Baker was there. I will say, nothing I am gonna be concerned about as a Panthers fan. It would be very funny to see us dominate Tampa like we did Atlanta while he was there.

You know what's funny and depressing is if he just replicates what he did in 2025 next season, he will be in the top 10 WR in franchise history based on receiving yards.

Yep, DJ was a good starting WR. He's still our #3 all-time leading WR and will be for awhile to come. Hope to see T-Mac eclipse that but even if he's killing it it'll take a few years.

That was intended to be plural. Games(3 games he played in 2004). Yeah, I think objectively CJ is still the better QB but I also no longer have a rosy view of his career. I don't know that he is going to ascend any further than his rookie year and he may descend quite far if his confidence is shattered. I am not in the CJ vs. Bryce camp like most of you all are. I don't want either of them. Especially in the context of potentially getting a mega deal. I could be wrong about both or either in the end but my bet now is that entire 2023 first round QB class just doesn't have any upper tier QB's.

I think DJ will always catch some heat because he will never be an elite WR, despite having elite attributes. I remember that when he was here. We all saw Steve Smith play for years, so we know what a truly elite WR looks like. DJ was never that. Now, is he a very, very good WR? Yes. Is he one of the best 15-20 WR's in the NFL year in and year out? I would say yes, as well. But he will always get some doubters because he is the tier below the truly elite WR's. I do agree, though. Would love to still have it. Would love to have reversed that trade immediately. Especially with the benefit of hindsight the way we have now. It's way more painful from that view.

No, he never threw 8 tds in a game. I feel like we're splitting hairs and are describing the exact same situation, but you're looking through the lens of recency bias. Either way, the original point remains the same. CJ Stroud is still far better than Bryce Young.
