Only way he comes to this dumpster fire of a team is if we give him a multi-year deal or pay him like $5 million more than every other team

This league looks more and more like a joke with each passing year...

Leaning toward Kotkaniemi because everyone else you’d think about sitting also can play special teams (Drury - PK, Noesen - PP, Fast - PK).

Additionally, for Noesen and Fast, I can pick out things that they are very good at that will be beneficial come playoff time (Fast - forechecking, Noesen - net front).

Think it comes down to Drury or KK and Drury gets the nod due to special teams.

Though I can see management telling Rod not to sit a guy that we gave a long contract to.

Fast is too important to that Staal line to sit. We are going to rely on the Staal line locking down opposing teams first lines in the playoffs.

Noesen provides much needed offense on the 4th line and good net presence on the PP.

Agree it comes down to KK or Drury. The fact that Drury has been better on faceoffs and is better defensively gives him the nod over KK to me.

As bad as he was for us, I don't know how many times we asked him to go match up one-on-one without safety help against elite wide receivers. I still think back to that win and in game against the bucs two seasons ago where we just literally told CJ to cover Mike Evans one-on-one with zero safety help....

CMC isn't any other elite RB, he's the best weapon in the NFL, there's a reason he won offensive player of the year.

I'd bet at least a dozen teams would be willing to give up their 1st round pick for him, especially if it was the same contract situation at the time of the trade, as we had to take the hit on his signing bonus that we already paid out, there was not much guaranteed money (if any) left on CMC's deal when the 49ers took him on.

It was a TERRIBLE trade, no if's, and's, or but's about it

Well said and 100% agree. Even worse we made that trade to the 49ers, whoever one knew was going to be one of the top five teams at the end of the season, which significantly hurt the value of those picks

I think the 49ers should offer us a discount for switching picks with them because we gave them CMC for practically nothing.

Trade them 33 and our worst draft pick this year to move up to 31

Just watched the highlights and I'm pretty confused at all of the negative talk towards kooch in the game. Literally all four goals they scored were the result of breakaways off completely inexcusable turnovers. Literally those type of turnovers are the crap you would see from a low level CHL team - We did it four times in the game...

Hard to figure out what Jim Harbaugh is doing

Overnight that offense went from 

QB- Herbert

RB - Ekeler

WR - Allen

WR - WIlliams

TE - Everett

to.......Herbert

They were pretty much in cap hell because of some of their contracts. Mike Williams could never stay healthy, Allen is getting older and also had some struggles with injuries the past 2 years, Ekeler is pretty much like a Darren Sproles that can somewhat be replaced, and Everett isn't anything special.

They obviously lost a lot, but they had to shed a lot of salary because of the contracts of Bosa and Mack. Harbaugh has always been a defense first person, so not surprised he valued his top defensive players.

Long story short, it is highly unlikely they are trading Herbert

If we want to build for the future I could see that pick netting us a 1st next year if there's someone that another team really wants sitting at #33.

It seems like the quality of talent in next year's draft is significantly worse than this year. If we trade for a 1st rounder next year, it better be to a team that will finish in the bottom half of the standings. Getting a late 1st rounder next year would be a huge net negative IMO

Bears won that trade, but lets not forget that Keenan Allen has had a hard time staying healthy the past 2 seasons and is over 30 years old. Still, he is definitely a good possession receiver that knows how to get open

I think the only player I would trade up into the early 20s for would be if Brock Bowers somehow fell that far in the draft.

I might look at moving up to 31 to get ahead of the Chiefs if there is still a really good WR we like since that shouldn't cost us much.

Otherwise, stand pat and get a WR at 33 or 39 - there should be  good one there

I think if our defense is somehow better this year, it will only be because of 1 of 2 reasons: 

1) our offense improves significantly, which means way lose turnovers and a much higher TOP. We were god awful in both stats last year

2) we go defense heavy in the draft and the rookies ball out + Horn stays healthy and plays the entire year

Otherwise, I don't see the defense performing better this year than last year, which is ok. If the offense doesn't improve significantly, then we should be very worried

We’ve had so many DJ’s on this team lately it takes some serious thought whenever you see it posted on here.

Only thing missing is signing DJ Khaled to play in the trenches for us

Merriman was better at creating a celebration dance than he was at sacking the QB.  One of the most over-hyped players of all time.  Burns accomplished more in 5 years than he did in 8.

Actually, wondering if Burns gets a big(er) head living in NY if they may become near clones of each other.

Burns is nowhere near the level of dick that Merriman is. And I can't be mad at Burns - dude got paid. Good for him

Tepper pull a Jerry Richardson and be forced to sell the team before the season starts

Lol, so all I need to know about Shawn Merriman is that 1) the dude was a chronic PED user, 2) he chokes women, and 3) he is a broke loser.

Cool. How many twitter followers does he have? 15?

Damn, did Shawne Merriman get cucked by Tepper? I don't think I've seen this much attention from one person on the Panthers since the SuperBowl. Oh wait, I lied. As much attention since our retard owner threw a drink on a Jags fan

I can’t stand the guy. I hope we can turn our team around soon because nothing would make me happier than to start sweeping the Saints year after year. They aren’t rebuilding, and still can’t make the playoffs in this horrible division. 

I mean... we are still splitting with them each year despite having a joke of a roster. So they aren't too far away from being as bad as us it feels like

Aren't the Saints stuck with Jordan because of his terrible cap hit to get rid of him?

Can't win games when you can't score any goals... Bummer to lose to the rags

The Panthers went 2-14 and are getting worse on defense. I don't think we have to worry about going 6-11 unless Bryce Young has an extraordinary turn around. Which if happens then the team will immediately start making moves to win in 2025.

I was referencing a 5 year span. I'm not sure we get a win this year

Just now, Krovvy said:

Well, then just say we're tanking, we're trying to be a bad team for asset acquisition.

I wish we were. I would love to literally just field a team of JAGs for 2 years and just stockpile draft picks and start anew in 2026, instead of the stupid poo we have been doing the past 5 years of thinking we are only 1 or 2 players away and proceeding to go 6-11 or worse

I'll take "who the hell is this person" for 500 Alex

Sure, if you want a warm body. Mix and match and compare PFF grades to make everyone feel better about it too. PFF rated Chase Young higher than Burns pretty much every year despite him producing half as much statistically and two teams pushing him out the door as fast as they could.

All that's going to really matter is when the season starts were the Panthers able to replace the pass-rush, and overall production, of Burns, Luvu, and Jackson. If not then the defense is going to be worse than a team that went 2-15.

Of course our defense is going to be worse than last year - our goal needs to be to either full on tank or try and get a good oline/weapons for Bryce to see if he is actually worth a poo. Trying to make our defense better by paying overrated pass rushers $150 million is the last thing we need to do. And with how much Burns hated us, I wouldn't be surprised if he was asking for $40 million a year from us

Didn't realize that Washington liked sloppy seconds of a 2-14 team that much
