panthers beinf the panthers if byoung finishes anywhere above bottom 5 qbs in the nfl they gonna pay him as a top ten qb and lock him into a long term deal just to punish the panther fans for being panther fans

Javonte Williams DALRunning Back#33 Cowboys signed RB Javonte Williams to a three-year, $24 million contract. The deal includes $16 million in guaranteed money and ties the veteran back to the Cowboys through the 2028 season. Coming off a career year, Williams remains with the Cowboys after playing the 2025 season on a one-year, “prove it” deal. The value on the contract is the same as was recently signed by Bears running back D’Andre Swift, making Williams the 16th highest paid back in the league on an average annual value basis. Expect Williams to enter the 2026 regular season as a borderline workhorse after handling 252 carries and seeing 51 targets in 16 healthy games a season ago.

Surprised they made the saints 7.5. I get they played better with Shough, but that team is pretty void of talent also with a lot of players they are going to lose in free agency. I honestly think the winner of the division will have a losing record again

No doubt we were running better without Corbett out there. Crazy thing is we still ran better with Curhen out there than Corbett. I would love to see a graphic of what % of our run plays were right of the center and inside of the right tackle - it felt like 60% of our run plays the back half of the season were either right of the center or right of the guard, which made no sense when Icky and Lewis are probably our best 2 run blocking offensive linemen

We traded Sexton to the Bulls for Coby White. It’s Grant Williams that was the other injured guy that didn’t play against the Cavs. Coby, Grant, Miles, Moose all out. That 2nd squad looked ROUGH.

Great point. The trends I mentioned are reinforced by the very teams that think the same way in terms of which positions are premiums (mostly teams that are very good too). How many super bowl teams have a remmers at OT? How many of the perennial playoff contenders?

I'm gonna be a grandpa! My 2 year old son sat on my lap Panther's inaugural season in Clemson. Die hard fans ever since. Now he's going to be a daddy and sharing the fan tradition with a custom made shirt. Check out the little fella in the sonogram (look closely).

Watch out now...... I agree but many others disagree with this line of thinking. I seen a recent summary too- Which would you rather have the best safety or the 8th best edge? Best safety maybe kyle hamilton, the 8th best edge is Maxx Crosby. Id take maxx even with Myles or TJ on the roster. Plus if you don't like Maxx as 8th best, Id take whoever the 8th best edge is over the Kyle. Panthers need a starter level edge, the only realistic shot is using the 1st rounder. But if somehow a stud LT pulls out a gas mask and falls to 19, draft them if much higher ranked. The funny deal is those teams drafting in the late portion of drafts don't need edge, QB, WR, or OT..... I wonder why?!??? hmmmmmmm.... plus it pays off for them, cause they do need OG, ILB, TE, safety..... and now they get a top level player to remain great....

Wrong conclusion. FOs should look at this and say “What can I do to better set up my top pick to succeed?” Not say welp I guess I just shouldn’t draft the most talented player at the most important position. It’s like saying the Cavaliers shouldn’t have drafted Lebron because they did a poor job building around him and he didn’t start winning championships until he left. It’s silly. Should teams also look and say “wow look at all these super bowls won by QBs drafted in the 5th round, guess that’s the best round to draft a QB.” Nonsense.

If heels lose to this shitty Syracuse team, Hubert needs to be gone

You dont draft guards, centers, safeties, ILB or tight ends in the first round unless they are sure fire HOF types, like Quenton Nelson. The cost for top flight OT, DT, DE/OLB, QB, WR, and CB are so much higher relative to those others, its almost always the wrong move to draft any that arent those five. There are also always more of the first group available in free agency with CB and WR sometimes available because there are so many (raw numbers) drafted. Play the odds folks.

You got any leans in the game tomorrow?

Not sure why expectations were so high of him. He is talented. He is capable. I knew he wouldn't come in here and become a starter without injury. Players need development.

I think if the NFL can get QB contracts back down to earth, they'd have more time before they give up. 3 years and it's extension time. 30-40m a season for a guy you hope might develop. It's just crippling to the cap if you're wrong, and the ones that are going to sit for a couple of years aren't going to go in the top 10. Expectations aren't realistic because the cap implications are just too damned big.

Because after 4-5 years you have to pay them 50 mil per year or let them go.

It was an example. The point remains. Regardless of position, if the player's value is clearly higher than other positions of need, you take the best player.

No they dont lol. People betting as the line moves do however, opening lines are about action period really the only think moving these lines are QBs.

Vegas doesnt take in consideration losing your starting LT and RB? Right right

Oh come on he scored the only TD in the Weinke Williams Wildcat game who could forget?

Rico was a few game splash but also trust me the books dont consider either.

I'm going to take the outlier here and say we post our first 10 win season in a loooong time. I think we are ahead of the curve in rebuild vs the rest of our division and I think we're seeing something grow culture wise. There's finally some grit in this team. My biggest concern right now is at our OT positions. I'm going to be honest here, I think Icky gets more credit than he has earned. He was the best on our team at LT but I'm not sure he'd crack the top half of the league in LTs, maybe not even the top 2/3rds. And on the right side, as much as I appreciate Moton for who he has been over the tough years for us, he's getting long in the tooth. There just isn't much tread left on those tires. I'm also not worrying about the Rico Dowdle loss because something tells me, he might be back here once he's tested the market. Our CBs and Safeties are better than advertised with a bit more depth than I think any of us predicted. QB... sheesh, I wish I knew what to say. A lot of bumpy road, a few smooth spots, a couple of great highlight reel moments, but more questions than answers. Oh, and I am hoping that XL gets it together and lives up to his potential. They always say it's year 3 for receivers and well, here we go big guy. Make something happen.

Put everything you own on Syracuse -1 today. They will come in confident after their second half against us, and Tarheels are beaten up. Easy money.

8 of next 11 on the road, with the first three being against teams who are tanking. Then 7 straight at home. If this team isn’t over .500 by then, I don’t wanna hear any more Hornets are on the up talk.

And there are a lot of teams that fluctuate from year to year. For example, the Lions disappointed, and the Bears and Pats overachieved. But your stats demonstrate the point. At the bottom 10 of the SOS (toughest schedule) for 2025, the Texans and Rams are the only teams to have winning records. In the top 10 of the SOS (weakest schedules) only the Browns and Cowboys had losing records. So, it seems that if you have a top 10 SOS (toughest), you have an 80% chance of having a losing record. If you have a top 10 easiest schedule, you have an 80% chance of having a winning record. I am not seeing your point, based on these charts.
