The Bills became the first team in history to win a playoff game in six straight years without ever reaching a Super Bowl, which ultimately cost him his job. I don't want that kind of juju.

Without any commentary, let's see what we got out of trading McCaffrey: 2023 2nd Round Included in the massive trade with the Chicago Bears to move up to the No. 1 overall spot in 2023. - Used to draft Bryce Young 2023 3rd Round Traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers (along with the 2023 4th-round pick below) to move up to No. 80. - Used to draft DJ Johnson (LB/EDGE) 2023 4th Round Traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers to facilitate the move up for DJ Johnson.(Pick used by PIT for Nick Herbig) 2024 5th Round Used by the Panthers at No. 164 overall. - Used to draft Chau Smith-Wade (CB) DJ Johnson is no longer on the team, so basically the 3rd and 4th round picks were sent away. Smith-Wade plays only half the team's defensive snaps.

At this stage, we know who are X and Z receivers are. Trading XL for anyone else who doesn't operate primarily out of the slot doesn't make any sense. At this point, just move XL and stick him in the Y Slot and see what he can do.

LOL I haven't heard that name in a long time!

Using a different metric (WAR), here's from Sports Illustrated: "WAR is a difficult stat to analyze, but it essentially means how many wins a player added to their team. So without McMillan, the Panthers lose half a game more, and likely do not make the playoffs. It's most known in baseball, but with there being almost 10 times the games in the MLB, the numbers make a lot more sense. Essentially, if McMillan were in the MLB, that WAR would've translated to 4.8 WAR, which makes him equivalent to George Springer and Mookie Betts, two very good baseball players." https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/onsi/news/how-carolina-panthers-rookie-performed-2025

Pretty spot on. The only thing that I may add is that I think Scourton is our future. I think next season with Wonnum gone he makes the leap and gets 9-10 sacks.

Even if he weren't an employee or former player, what is the context of that tweet/post? What if he posted that right after his career high game against Atlanta?

Robert Hunt is a top 10 RG when he's healthy.

QBR is really indeed a weird metric. Josh Allen's MVP season, his Pro Football Reference Approximate Value was 20 and they gave high QBR of 74.8 rating. Cam Newton's MVP season, his Pro Football Reference Approximate Value was 21 and they gave him QBR of 61.4 rating.

KA plays mostly in the slot and the 3rd down option and receives most of the short yardage work whereas Coker and TMac stretches the field. Having Keenan Allen is like having a more versatile tight end

At this stage, I would bring in Mr. First down, Keenan Allen. He has a market value of 6 Million which is dirt cheap and would be a great veteran presence for the young receivers.

I like him but like others have said, he likely stays.

Holding out hope for a Mahomes type player to hit is farfetched. Hoping to draft a Mahomes is closer to winning the lottery than finding a good starter as even top 10 QB picks still fail 50%+ of the time (looking at you BY). There's maybe 1 Mahomes level player every 10–15 years and the chance we pick one is 1 in 2,500.

While I'm not the biggest Bryce Young fan, BY's first 3 season's beats Alex Smith's first 3 seasons' out the water, as hard that is to fathom, and it's not even particularly close (even factoring injuries). Alex Smith Bryce Young

Roughly ~2–5% of all drafted players become true elite pass rushers (multiple All-Pro or consistently top-tier), and ~8–15% make at least one Pro Bowl at pass rusher (heavily dependent on draft round). Chances we get lucky in the next 2 seasons are extremely low. We cry about our non existent pass rush then also cry when we are unwilling to trade for top tier talent.
