IM SO HAPPYYYYY

I just want to say fug the Saints

Wasting 7.5 mill on a below average backup is actually just dumb

Time we actually get an embed tweet or a proper screenshot instead of some lazy 3 words without any contract specifics.

Gives us flexibility to go BPA or a combo of BPA/biggest need. Could see Kenyon Sadiq, but if a good tackle was there I think we pounce. Or were a potential trade down spot.

Wait we just gotta wait until he throws 3 picks in the first half if he ever came into the game

Not per Juan

Burns better without a doubt

Please let me know your thoughts on him I’m unfamiliar with his game.

I need some opinions on this I am not sure how to feel on one side he is only 26 and pretty well regarded. On the other hand he’s injury prone and his highest sack total was 8.5 and that was his rookie year.

Fantastic write up, the overreaction to sign another DT immediately after missing out on Milton was a painfully bad. I don’t even understand how Tershawn got the contract he got he is an undersized 3tech who benefited to playing next to a HOF all time prime Chris Jones. Even on the Cheifs he was a part time player, he is only 280 with 31 inch arms. He is one of the worst run defending DT in the league and is a slightly above average pass rusher. We paid him 18 million!! That is likely the contract Devin Lloyd will get this offseason. Worst move Morgan has made and I’m a Morgan supporter.

Edmunds would be a fun signing, would love to see him blitzed more dude is huge and explosive.

Would absolutely love this signing

WR is by no means a priority this offseason we have enough invested there and have a certified #1 in Tmac and a solid #2 in Coker personally I don’t hate XL as the #3 and am hopeful he can develop a bit and just avoid his bone headed mistakes. FS is a definite need, Moerig is a textbook SS, and just optimistically hoping if we had a true center fielding FS maybe just maybe Evero would play a bit less off coverage knowing we had somebody deep with true range and not Nick Scott.

Hate to ruin the vet QB idea but were stuck with Dalton next year as our backup. His 5.8 mill contract is basically entirely guaranteed. We cannot cut him therefore he will be on the roster next year, if we had a surplus of cap I could see us making the move but we simply are middle of the pack in cap and have glaring holes on defense that need to be addressed. Mark my words its a slim to zero chance we sign another vet qb for a vet standard 5-10 mill backup contract. Drafting a rookie is definitely in play in the later rounds, and could be a cheap contract to be the QB3 this year and take over QB2 the rest of their rookie contract. Would be nice to have a backup QB that could play in short yardage packages, would be interesting to see a player like Taylen Green in the 6-7th round to get a developmental prospect and our rushing short yardage QB option starting next year.

As a Penn State alum I was excited to see everyone return, truth is I think we came into the year a bit over confident coming off last season. Had a slow start and poor depth at LB once Rojas went down, and once Franklin was fired the season was essentially over. From a character perspective DDS is a 10/10 guy, hardworking and incredibly loyal. Nobody expected him to return for his senior year, but he did to try win us a Natty. He also played the entire bowl game this year against Clemson which is rare to see as a high end senior prospect.

Was a projected first rounder coming into the year, Penn State had a massive down year and a lot of the talented seniors who returned hurt their stock just with the association. Zakee would be a true center fielder for us something we are currently lacking. Also would love to see Dani Dennis Sutton in round 3 or even in second.

Truth is what we do in free agency will entirely dictate what we actually end up doing. If we resign Yosh and Brady I think it’s pretty unlikely we go OT rd1 but it’s also dependent on if any stud defensive players are on the board. If Muiouga fell to 19 I think Morgan would be quite tempted.

He is an OG and with all the money we have tied on the interior I doubt we invest there early. With that said Vega is going to start and play in the league for the next decade, dude is just a textbook lineman.

Gotta say I can’t imagine any Panthers fan not being happy to see Sam win a ring, he is a good dude. He flashed here and never complained about his poor circumstances here. Pretty sure both of his seasons here we brought in another QB to take his spot(Cam then Baker). Truth is he was never going to win a ring here and he needed to go to Shannahan and O’Connell to unlock that next part of his game. Cheers to Sam!

This is pretty comical lmao

Your debating with emotion I’m disproving the points you make with facts and statistics. You’re using arbitrary opinion statements to make a point that is illogical. We were a -70 point differential team last year, we lost to the saints twice this is a growing and young team not a contender. Clearly your not a Bryce guy, I most likely have a higher opinion of him then you do but that is besides the point. Even with an average to above average QB this is not a contending team. We have far too many holes to fill paired with a nonexistent pass rush. We need to invest in building our defense and let Bryce and this offense to continue to develop.

10 of the top 14 defensive teams in EPA per play made the playoffs. Defensive EPA is the gold standard for how we grade and value defenses. Having a good defense is imperative to having a successful team. To your point of this team being a QB away I adamantly disagree I think we’re realistically 1-2 good off seasons away roster construction wise from truly competing for a Super Bowl. To your point that the offense needs to be upgraded I entirely agree, we were far too inconsistent last year and our running game fell off a cliff the last 6 weeks.

First off let’s just establish we were not the 15th ranked scoring offense we were the 16th. Secondly, the 16th scoring defense is even by your own chosen statistic chosen totally average and not special. To anyone that actually cares about defensive advanced statistics, EPA per play is much more effective in determining the actual quality of a defense we ranked 23rd. We were 30th in sacks as a defense, Everos defense is exactly bend don’t break. It naturally gives teams the opposing team the time of possession advantage. This defense is by no means good, in fact at best it is a marginally below average group. I’m not even trying to defend the offense that is also a below average group, but it’s pretty clear we need to upgrade the defensive significantly before we’re close to being Super Bowl contenders.
