This is what I feel too. 

I mean us draft folks are planning on a heavy defense draft, that means LBs too. I wouldn't be against adding a vet (cheap) too. They are like RB in their market is super cold.

 

That is because there arent many game changing MLBs in the league right now. 

Who is even the best? Fred Warner I guess? The league used to have a number of guys at MLB that were sure fire HoF talents....not so much anymore.

I like to look at the draft in plateaus.  Where does the talent level in your areas of need drop?  Aside from QBs who are not really top 10 talents if you take the position and need away, I think Hunter, Graham, Carter, Jeanty and Johnson are on that top level.  Then there is a drop that goes through 20 or so.  29, in my mind, would be on the third level.  Gettlemen said, "2 dimes is worth less than a quarter."  So that is how I look at it--but if you have needs for 3 players....

Taking Graham with the first pick is probably the most sensible pick.  However, if he is not there, and you have Jeanty, Johnson, and TMac--do you take Johnson?  I think I would-but if you trade back and get a player like Kenneth Grant, Mike Green, or Shemar Stewart, is the difference between one of these players and Graham, for example, worth more than a second rounder this season and next season?  

We have no idea until they lace up in the NFL.....

If I am in charge of that trade im going to need next years first for them to move up and get a guy to help them get that much closer to a super bowl next season or they can kick rocks. I personally am not doing it for two 2nds with one being a future pick.

So the Panthers will have to ask themselves, "Would I take the Commanders' first and second and the 2026 second rounder for our first rounder?" 

Hell NO, Not moving from the 8th pick to 29th for two 2nds. Especially with one of those 2nds being next season.

FYI: This turned out to be true...

Certainly didn't have that on my bingo card

He was great for them the first time, that's the gig that got him HC looks. 

I'm sure the 49ers are thrilled to have him back.

This one can't actually be blamed on Jerry. 

From what I've read, Jerry was giving serious consideration to hiring Deion. His son Stephen though, who for the record has generally been shown to be far more football smart than his dad, pushed back against Deion and suggested hiring Schottenheimer instead.

I agree with not taking on Sanders and the circus that would have come with him, but I'm not so sure Schottenheimer is going to be a great hire either.

As for Lady Cowboy Fan, she's very "men" on this choice, but she is happy it's not Deion.

Just more of the same with this guy, if the team stays healthy they will be in the playoffs but go home early as usual. 

Seems like they have the talent to attract some of the highly sought after coaches if it wasn't for Jerry.

Interesting choice by the Cowboys. I don’t recall Schottenheimer getting any other interviews around the league in recent seasons. After who they got linked with, I suspect it will be difficult for their fans to get excited by this hire.

This is a worse hire than Prime. Cowboys are doomed until Jerry is gone. They have talent but the coaching hires are so uninspiring. 

fug this, we need to be able to stop the run before we can beat anyone. 

I dont hate the prospect, but I hate getting gashed on the ground repeatedly.

BREAKING: Panthers have high interest on prospect from North Carolina

Clicked on this thread to say this, its the Panther way. I knew we would have high interest in him because of where he was born.

Once awhile when Juan is resting form trolling, you get a great take.

 

Plus I think RR needs more credit, he left them like one of those 7-9 Panthers teams that just needed luck and BANG.....

Even without Daniels, peters killed the draft along with filling the needs in FA.

Caught lighting this year...

MoRon sucks. We should have been a perennial contender with Cam and Luke in their primes, instead we wasted those generational talents on Ron and Shula.

Not going to say Delhomme was better as a pure player than Goff. But in crunch time, I would trust Delhomme way more than Goff. His clutchness is what made him work here, and I'm hoping some of those good moments Young had in tight moments is a sign he's also a QB that shines the best when it matters the most.

Lets us not forget the 2008 season when Jake decided to lose his mind in the playoffs and throw 5 ints vs the Cardinals. We could have beaten that team easily and they ended up in the super bowl.

Goff has basically done the same thing Jake has in the playoffs, they both been to a super bowl and championship game.

LOL second round rb pick to miss first two years. This team is just so bad at drafting. They should farm out the process to a private firm or let a draft simulator do it.  AI can't be worse than this bunch.

Huddle poll option for each pick and we would have a better team right now than what we have with Fitt/Morgan/Tepper doing the picks. 

This is why we should have went a different direction with our pick, who cares if dumbass Dallas wanted him. 

Tons of guys on the board we could have taken and made an impact instead of a guy who now is going to miss basically 2 seasons at a position that can be filled with a 5th.

Nah, IMO he is the guy. He just needed to get his mental right and he did. Not worried, that boy ballin. 

Thats fine he played well enough to get another season, I hope he keeps it up because that is better for us.

I would test Hendon Hooker out first. He may be just what they are looking for and need. I feel like he could turn into something and I am surprised if no other team has not attempted to get him in a trade for a later round draft pick to see if he can turn into a solid starter. He has had time on the bench to watch and he is ready to at least see if he can hack it as more than a backup 

Sure, why not, hes on the roster at least see what he has, Goff is decent but hes not elite, see if Hooker is. 

Lets go Rams!

Same reason we traded CMC. When you suck a huge money RB is more of a liability than an asset but I'm still shocked they traded him within the division. That never seemed smart.

He was a FA, they didnt trade him. 

Saquan probably going to break TDs record now. He only needed a little over 300 before this game.

Who believed in the Texans roster two offseasons ago?

I guess the same people that believed in the Commanders

This team did not quit. That tells me everything I need to know about Canales. We got our guy at HC and QB, lets get it! 

 

Even if Bryce isnt "the guy" he is playing well enough now to be at least a placeholder until we are ready to compete. 

Lets see him put a full season of good ball together before claiming him to be the guy.  

Its time for the Lions to pull a KC and trade up for a QB, Goff isnt taking them all the way, thats why the Rams moved on. 

Give Goff this upcoming season because the class is weak and go for a QB in 2026. 

Hoping for a Commanders vs Bills super bowl. The Commanders are my grandpas team and he is up in age and the Bills have never won one.

Panthers fans who still expect to bypass good on the way the Super Bowl are hilarious.

People who act like we haven't done it before are just as hilarious. 

People pining for Baker and Sam need to set there sights higher...

C’mon man. I agree that Olsen is a superior color commentator, but you can’t say he knows football more than Tom Brady. Brady played for 22 years with 7 Super Bowl victories. Played under one of the greatest coaches of all time compared to Greg Olsens 13 year NFL playing career. Plus as a QB, your knowledge level of the game has to be so much greater than all the other positions. Some people are just better at TV than others. It is what it is. 

Olsen would also help Cam with play calls and make sure guys were lined up right, lets not act like hes just some random TE slouch who doesnt know the game. 

Also fug Tom Brady.

and that's why I don't want him.  Gotta be able to get to QB, but you can't disappear when they run right at you.  fug burns.  so glad we didn't pay him

Burns never developed he was still the same player we drafted. Speed rusher who cant stop the run, at this point he should be a situational pass rusher. 

No idea if the next guy will develop, but literally Chuba Hubbard is the only guy that developed under our misift coaches and he did that work on his own.

This is a fair point. I'm glad Canales is also adaptable in his decision-making. Miles Sanders convinced him to run the ball on first and goal against Atlanta, and it resulted in the walk-off TD. If it's a pass, sure, there's every chance Young ends up running it in -- but there's also the greater possibility of a holding penalty or a turnover.

It wasn't a smart call at first, but his relenting was wise and it showed a quality few NFL coaches have: the willingness to consider their first opinion isn't the gospel.

Sanders just wanted the TD, a run play on first and goal from the 1 is never a bad call. 

I do like what Canales was able to do with Young though, he was just a few games from being gone and he completely turned him around.
