You forgot the GOAT Bersin.

I think it's just a matter of opinion. For example CBS has the Pats as the worst team entering the 2024 season (yes we were number 2). We were definitely bottom tier, but there can be an argument made for other crappy teams. Especially the ones that finished behind us. Hell people on here are literally arguing about it.

Not to mention DB missed the entire season so he is technically a new starter this year vs last. By far our best defender and one of the best in the league.

Not to mention the Bengals defense was awful. Someone has to get the tackles but I’ve heard from several people Pratt is slow for a ILB. Evero needs sideline to sideline speed from his ILBs. That’s why Wallace was so appealing to him despite being pretty raw.

I think we like Jewell and Wallace at ILB. We 100% need depth but I doubt Pratt signs for that.

Oh it was bad and we had no depth so the injuries just crushed us. Eh we split with the other two bad teams in our division. Still beat the Cards, Raiders (who might have the worst roster), and NYG (who had a pretty bad roster). Our OL and RB were solid. Honestly our defense had no depth and a ton of injuries. Hopefully just being healthy can give them a nice boost. It can’t get much worse lol.

Then we had some impressive coaches to finish 8th from worst plus all of our injuries. Titans and Raiders were pretty bad as well.

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

Anything he can do to help bring awareness to mental health will always be welcomed by me. Throw in his practicing/working out with Coker, JT, and TMac and it looks to be a good offseason for him.

I'm excited to see what JT can do this year. He seems focused and ready to take the next step. Love seeing Coker working out with them this summer as well!

Evero coached him already and he is friends with Horn. I'm not too concerned about the personality as long as we aren't allocated a ton of cap towards him and he comes cheap.

Speaking of new looks. It looks like JT shaved off about 10 pounds. Also mentioned Bryce, JT, and Coker working out together in Cali this offseason. Apparently Young helped whip JT into shape lol. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6401049/2025/06/04/panthers-jatavion-sanders-tight-end-offseason/

It would honestly help all rookie QBs to sit a year. Stroud and Daniels are outliers but most rookies are going to struggle. I still can't believe they put Richardson out there right away. He needed probably 2 years to sit and learn. Maybe come in for certain packages. Hopefully they didn't ruin his career by rushing him out. I know it's due to the GMs and coaches having a short shelf life these days.

Kelce has a decent amount allocated to him.

We are taking the Moton hit this year instead of kicking the can down the road which is a third of it. I’m curious to see what we do with Icky who had a solid year last year.

I mean we drafted and traded away Kobe and SGA we are just a cursed franchise right now. We really should just trade away Melo and get building draft capital. The Thunder and Rockets did well with this approach.

That Falcons game is about as good as it gets. Especially on the road. I know the Falcons defense was bad but he was cooking with Coker, an undrafted rookie get the bulk of the receptions. If your QB has 5 TDs and 0 turnovers he is playing like a top QB, yardage be damned. The big question for me is how consistently can be play the whole season? I don’t expect a game like that every week, but I also don’t want to see any performances like the pre benching or that Cowboys game (which was bad post benching). Bryce’s best shot at being the guy is becoming a mini-Burrow who is about as consistent as you can get at the QB position. The good news is this QB class should be a fun one. So hopefully Bryce becomes the guy, if not it’s a nice class to let DC pick his QB and they should come into a great situation with a good OL, RB, young talented WRs etc…

Mays and Zavala looked lost in the Reich offense. Granted Zalava was probably playing too soon due to injuries but he looked terrible. This new staff seems to be doing well with our OL. I also wonder if having two vets in Hunt and Lewis just made life that much easier on whoever was/is playing center.

You don't talk about TMac's QB that way!

I’m a little surprised we didn’t bring his brother in for rookie minicamp.

Yeah it all depends on a lot of factors. How well did Bryce play? Where are we in the draft? Which QB(s) do we love and are they easily attainable? If he is the weak link on offense and we are sitting in the draft with a talented QB on the board then yeah there is a good chance we draft him. There are a lot of variables in that equation though.

Lonzo mentioned Melo going to the Clippers, but he also said we would draft Dylan Harper and he isn't making it to 4.

Yeah I'm not a fan of waiting on him to make that jump. He seems destined to play for a larger market and we have someone in Miller we can still build around. Get a haul for Melo and draft a G. I saw a nice trade suggestion on SI of him Ball to the Rockets for Smith, pick 10, VanVleet (who we can also flip), plus a couple future firsts. Two top 10 picks in this draft would be a great way to build around Miller and Williams. Smith is a solid young defender with a huge ceiling as well. I think it's the quickest way for us to turn this around. https://www.si.com/nba/hornets/news/proposed-lamelo-ball-trade-sends-hornets-star-to-western-conference
