I agree, I think the right elite that's not a diva could blend right in - I wish we kept Guentzel

Better than the time he gave me the same look he gave Anthony Bright before ending his career when I met him at the Fan Caravan in 2005.

Is he still unsigned? Big fan of him since college and I feel his dad was one of the most underrated players in NFL history. He’s a baller.

In defense, without a doubt. Overall is probably a little debatable.

We weren't bottom five, we were the bottom.

Team friendly deal and no pressure to be relevant or compete for anything.

Just turn off injuries.

I wonder if sign with the panthers at a discount, since he is from Charlotte

I’ve turned from a staunch detractor to him now having my 100% support. 1. He turned the worst o line in the league in to a top 10 unit in 1 offseason. Incredible. 2. Contracts to Horn and Hubbard. Reward your ride or die homegrown talent. Neither contract was way out of line for market value. 3. All of the talent he has added are intelligent, high floor types who love competing. 4. He understands that an org lives and dies off of the draft. This was the very first draft that I can remember since… ever where the franchise didn’t make a boneheaded trade and/or waste a high pick on a project tweener. No. It was Tepper sitting by almost completely mum, watching Dan orchestrate Dan’s draft…. picking intelligent high floor dudes from big name schools who showed up to play every Saturday and loved competing. It just felt right. 5. He has shown no reservation in cutting bait on guys that he sees as not having what it takes. This is really big one. It’s what the good teams do. Without it, you get the ‘coach’s guys’. Complacency. Stagnation. All these dudes needs to watch their backs. I see him building a young core who have displayed NFL level ability. For the first time in a really long time it feels like the captain of the ship actually knows what he is doing.

Jake Guentzel was a pretty elite player and he fit us very well. And we’ve only had two offensive elite forwards under Rod. That’s Jake and Miko. Sample size is pretty small and I feel like your arguments biased. We are going to get an elite player or two In the off-season, we can be the judge of that this time next year.

Defense is overall bottom 5 without a doubt. We literally do no have any depth on any position for the defense. We are once again a couple of injuries away from being complete garbage again. I assume next draft will be defense heavy.

We were not botton 5 last year imo. The oline was to good to be bottom 5. Maybe bottom ten.

Another new video. I'm the scriptwriter behind this one. Complex case that unfolded quickly.

hello, fellow football players

Yep. No thanks unless he’s crazy cheap. Based on the last 4 years, even if you make the crazy assumption that they were both healthy on the exact same weeks, they could have only played together 29 out of 68 games. Amazingly enough, Jaire is more fragile now. Again, only way I’d want him is if he wants to give the team a home town discount for 1-2 years to prove he can stay healthy and get another deal like Gilmore.

I mean the #33 overall pick signed for what, 4 years $12M? Average $3M a year? That's barely over 1% of the salary cap. The Panthers routinely extend TEs who should be desperately competing for a roster spot more than that. Much ado about nothing.

At the most, a prove it contract would be advisable. Oft injured DBs often get contact shy and that can be an issue, actually leading to more injuries. Personally, I was impressed by how Horn came back last season and wasn't just great in coverage but became much, much more aggressive in tackling and run defense. He apparently learned that it is better to be the hammer than the nail.

I really like our starters.

We SHOULD be better overall than last year. I would say this is still, on paper, firmly a bottom 5 roster in the NFL. I definitely hope that improves over the course of the season.

I agree with this. ASJ would be another good option.

dude already bought a house. getting jersey fitted as we speak.

TBH I'd rather have a younger and cheaper Samuel Jr but wouldn't be mad at it

It's really going to depend on what he wants and depend on where he is physically. Is he looking to sign for the most money he can get? Is he looking for a prove it type deal in a good situation where he can rehab is value then sign another mega deal? Is he looking to ring chase with a contender? A lot of variables at work here on whether or not we would even be looked at as a possible option for him from his perspective.

One year incentive heavy deal to not impact the future, to come home and try to cash in next year, why not? Don't offer anything crazy, but at least throw in an offer. He's Horn insurance, Horn is Jaire insurance, if they're both on the field we're thrilled. If the season isn't going well, trade him to a contender mid-year and get a draft pick for our troubles.
