What Id rather is irrelevant. I just eatch what happens and hope to win each week.

TE isnt a need. Certainly not in any meaningful way.

Nice little video with Kuechly's perspective on the state of the team.

But does Kuechly work for the Panthers in some capacity? He keeps referring to the them as "we". 

 

Hes been on our radio game announcing crew since 2022

I can't fathom why the Jags wouldn't tag him or just re-sign him.

Because it doesnt make sense tagging middle linebackers when the formula takes in to account the salaries of OLBs

Tepper, on the other hand...  Remember, the Browns were the only team to outbid us for DeShaun Watson.

The Saints and Falcons had already outbid Panthers. This was in the news. It was down to them when the Browns came back with the stupid offer.

Sign a LB. There are some interesting vet options and they will be better deals than an OT of the same caliber.

I have been looking for a dropped pass list and all that comes up is QBs. And team stats. When I do receivers I get the passing stats for a handful that threw passes this year. 
 

I wanted to be accurate but anyhow I was looking because thought I remembered reading where T Mac had more drops than XL this year. 
One of you many smarter than me people here,I would appreciate it if you know how to pull that up, please do. Thank you. 
 

And yeah I know that isn’t all there is to it I just thought it was interesting. 
Of course what the hell is a drop lol. 

 

Search for NFL WR drop stats. Its the first 3 results .

With teams employing nickel defense most of the time it just doesn't seem the ballhawk free safety thing has been much of a thing for a while. I'll take one though but I dont expect it to be a priority attempt

I understand that some people want WR. I am solidly against using yet another high pick there. Coker is pretty good and we used No picks on him. 

What I think we really need at WR is a little bit of a Smitty lite. It is ridiculous to say let’s get a Smitty because you just can’t do that, but someone not tall and long striding but more in his mold. I think we’d have a pretty well rounded group. 
 

Looking at tackle, with replacing Moton looming, it just seems like the no brainer.  You fill in Icky short term. Depending on how he recovers, and how the new guy plays, you go from there.

A tackle at 19 is most likely either a LOT, a ROT, or a big talented guard, at worst. We will need all three in the next couple of years. 

I would love to have a stud ILB be there at 19 but the OL is the responsible thing to do I believe. 

A tackle is a tackle or a guard? Confused. 

OT has to be in top 3 needs if not top 2 and arguably 1.

I believe he is just be nature of being in year 3.

The age thing never made much sense to me. Especially going forward thinking will need to change.

We've already got 2nd fiddles we need the big dog to flush the QB to those blokes. Like what Bain did for this fella 

Mesidor had more sacks, more tackles, more tackles for loss, more forced fumbles while playing 1 less game. 

Its a team sport. They benefited from each other.

Id prefer an OT or top inside linebacker but Mesidor is no slouch

Or it was Von Miller living in our backfield because Rivera refused to give any help to Remmers. Come on now. Be better…

Its both obviously 

I wouldn't make much if this either way.

Depends what you want. It's an expensive trade (although not a crippling one). It's whether you think he's a game wrecker or not.

I know he was in College - he was sensational for 3 years (and actually hurt himself by refusing to come out of games) - and I think he will be in the NFL.

Evero employs soft zone schemes with big CBs - so you don't need to spend high Draft picks on CBs. We need a LB and a S, but they're no longer a premium position in the NFL i.e. not first round picks.

So I could get down with improving the DLine.

A middle linebacker 2 safety, and a weekside linebacker just got first, second,  fourth, snd fifth in defense rookie of the year voting. 

That game came down to 4 plays. Not some master strategy.

2 fumbles an interception and 1 Cotchery call.

Plus Phillips didn't out scheme us. He simply utilized his pass rushers against our weak to mediocre tackles. They played physical. We didnt

I haven’t followed the tawdry tale of Watson and his massage therapy, basically at all. 
 Being ignorant, I have to wonder how that stuff doesn’t relieve his employers from their financial obligations. Seems like that is a ‘for cause’ scenario. 
 

Cleveland traded for Watson long after the incident. His issues have been bad play and injury since then. Why would that relieve Cleveland of financial obligations?

That poo happened when he was a Texan. There was a full year a public drama and legal proceedings in the media and then Cleveland traded for him knowing all of of It.

Historically elite defense led by Wade Phillips vs Mike Shula. regardless of any Shula adjustment, Wade was going to play 4D chess. Mike Shula is not going to out scheme Wade Phillips. Mike could only hold a job for 2-3 years with every team he worked for… except the Panthers. We were blessed with 6 years of his guidance.

When it comes to coaching, we still can’t have nice things. 

 

Historically elite? They werent the best defense that season They were 4th in points allowed that season just 2 ahead of us with less than 1 point per game separating.  

They were 2nd in yards in 15 but there were 6 teams this season alone that gave up fewer yards per game.

This guy is cooked regardless of Strato insulting the appearance of the victim.
