SOJA

I'd love to get a nice one but I don't think they sell anything other than the "game" version of him That being said the quality of the nike jerseys are pretty terrible now

The answer as always was take the Rams deal The second option was as soon as you hang up on the Rams you extend him right then (probably would have been around 25-27 mill a year around that time) The third and worst option is what the panthers ended up doing (not Dan's fault)

very fair

I think Jaycee is already the best CB ever to wear a Panthers jersey. yes Josh had one legendary season. Jaycee has been superb every single game he's healthy DB is so so under appreciated. He is so disruptive in both the run game and pass game. He regularly rag dolls very good offensive linemen. Both easily start on the Panthers all time defense

if we build that team we would be the eagles and I'd be ecstatic with that

all I know is Dalton looked really bad in limited snaps. If he is needed longterm we are in trouble

I have maintained that he was going to turn things around. The biggest knock on him out of college was his raw route running. He gets open regularly in the league. That's a great sign. Drops come and go. Very very happy for him

which is saying something because special teams has been special at times this year

fair

It feels good to be this mad after a win. Refs were AWFUL, no PI on TMAC and clear intentional grounding kept this a game Dalton looks awful XL with the best game of his career Rico needs more carries Jaycee and DB are gods ....Canales is a bad situational play caller

I definitely think there is a lot of people who don't like caleb behind the scenes

My guess is that Ben Johnson and him aren't getting along but someone is leaking these trade rumors for sure

I agree, unless there is a young talent available that fits our timeline I would just hold steady at the trade deadline

I should also add the compensation we would get back would probably be abysmal

this is one of those madden trades that makes sense in a video game but not real life for starters Dowdle is on a one year deal second, if Dowdle gets injured then you have DeeJay Dallas and a rookie as your primary backs for the rest of the year third, Chuba is a leader in the locker room and a culture setter You can't complain about us having a bad culture then trade away one of the few guys who is respected and does all the right things Finally, we have found our formula for winning- run the ball well and stop the run. If you trade Chuba you inherently hurt your ability to do that.

When he takes Arvell Reese in round one next year and we have the next Micah Parsons on our hands he will cement himself as the best GM in panthers history

I wonder what Chicago would want for him I've seen a lot of rumors but nothing with a price tag associated

Is it fair to say that paying him scares me? On the one hand he has all the talent in the world, actually loves the Panthers/playing here and you definitely do not want to be in the LT desert. On the other hand he is still inconsistent and still has problems with speed rushers. I think the best plan is if you are planning on extending him do it now before the LT market takes another price hike

Scourton is the perfect edge two in this league and princely is a perfect edge 3. We need a true dominant pass rusher. If we get that, some help at LB and a FS this defense will be locked and loaded

draft arvell reese in april

Rico was incredible today Rookies are balling Defense is much improved Great team win I am still very concerned about the long-term future of this team with Bryce and Canales at the helm

Some of y'all owe Dan an apology this rookie class is killing it so are our FA this year

The other option is to be patient and wait and see if a good HC gets canned from his current team. No way Minnesota fires KOC but let's say they have ANOTHER bad season next year. Maybe we could trade for him. I doubt it but at this point I really want someone with a proven track record of success.

great write up OP but this confirms but my suspicions that there are a TON of names on that list that either don't excite me or straight up terrify me Of all the options listed. Flores, Minter and maybe maybe Morton get me excited we've tried the college HC, we've tried the retread HC, we've tried the upcoming offensive mind. All of these can work but we've simply picked three bad options What we haven't tried is a culture setting CEO type like Dan Campbell. I believe Brian Flores can be that. He will need a good staff around him on offense but at minimum guys will play hard for him. The best success we've had under tepper was with Wilks, it wasn't always pretty but guys played hard and we were competitive. The same can not be said for any other stretch under him
