He is a classic me-first guy. I suspect the rest of his career mirrors the post-Panthers Robby Anderson.

I don't think the idea of "competition" is that valuable. Improving the room is a good idea but it's going to be tough to accomplish without massive investment. What you really are probably looking at is more so just having a valid starter when/if Bryce fails in 2025. Like Dalton, basically. If you bank on some other backup level QB(Minshew, Howell, etc) then you are just likely to be watching a slightly better or slightly worse version of what you are replacing. If you bank on a rookie QB(assuming not a first rounder) then you waste potentially valuable draft resources if you take him on Day 2 and likely are looking at low percentage success rate(this is the hail mary option). This is why I am in favor of a legit veteran backup. Dalton, Darnold, someone along those lines.

IDK about smart, you are just taking any option available. I think it was more of a throwaway move than anything. It would have looked very smart had it worked out, I will say.

Well he would be dirt cheap. It's not an awful idea, although I would rather just keep Dalton, TBH. I do like the idea of a veteran backup.

He is going out like Matt Ryan. Suddenly a massive decline. Not Peyton Manning bad but headed that direction.

Nijman was a massive whiff. Surprised he was as bad as he was. Jackson too. I will say for all the high praise of Morgan at times, it has been a very mixed bag in the offseason. Really not many HR's outside the guards.

I will never understand why people continue to include Baker Mayfield in these kind of discussions. He was literally a Pro Bowler that led Cleveland to an 11-5 season and the playoffs. He threw for over 14000 yards and 92 TD's in his four years in Cleveland alone. Geno Smith has 18500 yds and 98 TDs for his entire 11 year NFL career. Sam Darnold has 15600 yds and 92 TDs in his entire 7 year career. Geno Smith and MAYBE Sam Darnold are examples of bust QB's that turned their careers around. Baker Mayfield was a guy that Cleveland inaccurately gave up on and then landed on the worst team in the NFL to fuel the fire that he was now a "bust." He literally had more success with a couple of days notice in LA than he did in Carolina. That wasn't him, it was us. What he is doing in Tampa is much more indicative of just a QB getting better over his career(see Allen, Josh) than him recovering from being a bust. I am not even a big Baker Mayfield fan but this narrative has always driven me insane because it is so unbelievably and WILDLY inaccurate.

It was a solid attempt at trying something. Honestly, I have no qualms with a gamble on a good WR. He would still be the best WR on this team if he wasn't such a petulant child.

If we end up with a top 5 pick, we really should not be trading down. There is very little elite talent in this draft(on paper) and trading out of a spot to snag some isn't wise. Plus, I am not sure I can even recall the last draft trade the Panthers won. It's pretty much the hallmark of a future bust.

Sanders and Jackson make sense to release but releasing the only two NFL caliber pass rushers you have is completely insane. Same with getting rid of the DL. You do functionally have to field an actual team and you are not very likely to find better and cheaper options than those players you are cutting. Not saying we definitely don't need to be be upgrading literally every single one of those positions but the answer to building is not to keep showing up to the worksite every day and demoing half of what you did the day before.

Our top targets every week should be: 1. AT 2. Coker 3. Sanders Literally every week they are healthy.

It's gonna be a big offseason for him. I hope he spends as much time working on his craft as he does building his brand as a redneck. Not trying to be one of those "JUST SHUT UP AND DRIBBLE THE BALL" queefs but I hear from other fans as I travel about how much they love this guy and hearing him talk but then I tell them about the team leading 7 drops and they have no idea. It might be easy to be a brand these days but don't forget that football is the platform that got you to this point. It's football success that will catapult this brand you are building, not vice versa.

He doesn't.

The Huddle chimping out over Johnson getting traded for anything less than a first round pick will go down as one of the most hilarious overreactions of the Tepper era.

DJax is who he has always been. A sugar or poo CB that will produce more INT's than most and get burned more than most too.

I would disagree. It can easily go to poo, IMO.

Love a good woodshedding. We need it, though. Need a couple of get right games.

Jost in time.

Seem to be sleep walking a little bit.

If you take a shot for every time John Buccigross mispronounces a Cane name, you will die of alcohol poisoning.

Damn we are buzzing.

Would like to see a couple of 5 on 5 goals tonight.

I am about to turn the fuging sound off. John cannot get any of our players names correct

2nd rounder isn't a high pick. That's generally when the best C's start coming off the board. 2nd rounder is high for a RB. That's just moronic.
