As they should be. I hope it gets done.

The fact that this team was able to get both Philips and Lloyd? Wow. Both of these guys are incredibly talented and play super aggressive. Dan Morgan did, in fact, sign two dawgs today. Panthers defense is back on the rise.

Great deal for a very good player.

Better not be at that number. 16 mil per? Fug that.

I think it's more about the fact that they have a star QB, and if they can fix the defense, they can be contenders again. That division is kind of up in the air at the moment.

Dre greenlaw just became available. That might change things

Likely and Otton have already signed elsewhere. I'd like to see us do a 2 year deal with Goedert.

My only question is that he is a LOLB edge rusher, and that is where Scourton was lining up. So, I guess they feel confident that Nic can play either edge, because if you pay a guy 120 mil, he is lining up where he feels comfortable.

Yeah I like Golday. I think his best fit, unfortunately for us, is as a SAM in a 4-3. Kind of like a Chad Greenway.

Lots of great, athletic LBs that could easily be taken at the bottom of round one or early to mid round 2. Anthony Hill Jr., Jake Golday, and Jacob Rodriguez all made some money today.

Caleb Banks is a massive human being. Nearly 86 inch wingspan? Good Lord.

The thing I like about Bain is that even if he doesn't work out as an edge rusher, he could easily put on 10-15 lbs and be an awesome 4-3 DT or 3-4 DE. I think he is just too good of a player to bust outright. He will be a contributor.

Because you asked about the wrong Chubb.

I've said before that he could possibly be a Cordarrelle Patterson or Ty Montgomery RB conversion type. I don't see him as a tight end though.

Nvm

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.

I hope not. Needs change year to year. If we get to the 3rd round and there is a wide receiver we had graded in the 2nd, but our "need positions" are graded as 4th round or lower, I would really hope we draft the receiver. The fan base may flip out, but the goal is to bring in the best players and look out for the long term success of the team.

If Morgan feels that we are getting to the point that we don't just need quantity anymore, but we need more quality, I'm ok with this move.

He has a shitty attitude and a poor work ethic. The chemistry is off because he isn't trying to establish chemistry with Bryce. He has had plenty of balls hit him in the hands and he just drops it and getting "cold" is possible for a series or maybe a game. He was that way the whole season. That's on him. Cam called XL out before the season started with the workout videos he was putting out. Said he didn't care about the grunting and the routes on air. He asked if he could be reliable. And he hasn't been.

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).

Both were hard to watch. No doubt. I just know that when watching Clausen I was actively screaming at the TV for his inept play. Bryce, I more felt bad for? Different feelings of frustration.

Give me a choice between the two right now? I'm taking Bryce. It's not false. And it is objective. I'm sorry your "reality" doesn't allow you to see that.

Cam is an exponentially better football player. No question. But saying Bryce is in the same conversation as Clausen? Go back and watch Jimmy again bro. Not even close.

Stroud is who I thought he would be. He is a robot. He will make automatic, open throws, but he will crumble under pressure and in contested situations. People always used the Georgia game as an example of what "he could be". That was the outlier. That's not who he is regularly. The Panthers chose right. Was the choice good enough? This next year will tell us. And before the Bryce bashers say "yeah lets see how he does in year 11... Meh meh meh..." The fact is that this is an ascending roster with expectations going into next season. Bryce has to show up and show out. If he doesnt? 2027 is a good year to need a QB in the draft.

Say what you want about easier paths or whatever, but Cam did have some of the most prolific players in Panthers history on his offense in 2011. Jordan Gross, Ryan Kalil, Steve Smith, Greg Olsen, DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart Bryce had... Taylor Moton? So... Yeah. And this isnt a knock on Cam at all. He elevated this team. It's a knock on Jimmy Clausen. Dude was balls.
