No not really. I don’t care what people say, Elf was horrible and still graded terrible at center. Brown, a possibility but we have no clue. At this point he hasn’t played really at all and can’t be counted as a starter, we don’t even really know if he’s backup material as he was inactive for the majority of the year. We MUST get a vet starter that is proven in the off-season to have any hope at a halfway decent line because we still only have one proven player in Moton. This doesn’t even touch our depth on the line where we have….Erving

Jesus take the wheel

From Pro football talk: Per Keefer, some concluded that Wentz displayed “a lack of leadership, a resistance to hard coaching and a reckless style of play.” Frankly, these are exactly the concerns that undermined Wentz’s time with the Eagles. That’s why coach Frank Reich’s advocacy for Wentz was so surprising. Reich knew the concerns. Reich, as he said last week in Indianapolis, stuck his neck out for Wentz. But Reich was smart enough to pull his head back into the shell and not pin his career on pushing for a second season for Wentz in 2022. When Keefer explains that the “Colts’ brass simply didn’t trust [Wentz] to be the franchise quarterback moving forward,” the lack of trust begins with owner Jim Irsay. Wentz knew that; he reportedly requested a meeting with Irsay to “clear the air.” Although Irsay declined, he had a pretty good excuse. He was out of town. Per Keefer, the two men eventually spoke.

Well it was a win win for us. With the state of our team it would be a waste of money to have him, being that we won’t be in the playoffs next year. I am happy that he could mentor our young players for a season and we will most likely get a 5th round comp pick from him. I wish we had a QB so we could use people like him to have a competitive team. He was a professional and we need many more like him.

Remember when the Pats gave up a 2nd to the falcons for Sanu…then he got cut….why can’t we get that lucky

Trade our 2nd, 3rd round picks on players holding us back and trade our two best players to recoup those picks…..seems legit

I definitely agree with everything you said other than a legit chance of not sucking. No matter how much our line improved we will still suck with Darnold at QB

Who thought McAdoo was good????

The only Vet QB I have any interest in is a cheaper rental for a year with a chance for them to start over Darnold. Fitzpatrick would be a great option in my opinion, build the line this off-season/next, and draft a QB after Fitz and Darnold are off the books next year.

So glad we signed him to an hefty extension!!! The cops haven’t seen him and neither have panthers fans. He’s invisible on bike and on the field. With that being said it’s really a petty charge that people shouldn’t get riled up about…I’m just bitter that we extended him instead of spending that money on the O line

Dear god no

That would be horrific. I’m trying to think of ways I can get excited for the team but any scenario with Rhule as head coach for another season is beyond comprehension.

I was saying Fitzpatrick because he would be cheaper but the point was to make sure Willis would not play for a full year being that he will absolutely need developing and won’t be ready year 1. This wouldn’t hurt cap that bad as it’s a one year deal and we don’t trade assets by taking Willis at 6

Totally agree with that. In this scenario Rhule still gets fired after this year for sucking yet again and not making the playoffs

Simple question. Read the following scenario and let me know if you would have faith in our future….. Scenario: We draft the QB with the highest ceiling in the draft (Willis) and promise to sit him for a year in order to develop him and build the offensive line. We then sign a cheaper vet QB like Fitzpatrick and let him compete with Darnold to start the year (this makes sure Willis has a red shirt year). We will most likely be one of the worst teams in the league next year, but the following year we are in much better shape cap wise. We will have a high draft pick next year, have a QB on a rookie contract, and give yourself another full off-season to fully build the line for him. https://www.pff.com/news/draft-malik-willis-quarterback-2022-nfl-draft-biggest-unknown
