Would love to have him here, if he flames out within 5 years but those 5 years include playoff berths and a potential SB run, it’s worth it imo. That being said, I think he will want a ton of cash (he’s making $7m annually at UM I believe) and bringing his own GM which I’m not sure Tepper is willing to do. I could see him in Indy or Houston for sure tho.

I mean just this season, the difference between being 6-6 (and first in the division) and 4-8 are the result of 3 kicks: Cade York's 58 yard GW FG vs the Browns and Pinero's missed 48 yard GW XP and 33 yard GW FG in OT at Atlanta. We have gone 0-3 in 1 score games (Ls to Browns, at NYG, at ATL). I don't count the Saints game as a 1 score game because that game was pretty much decided, but even if you do, it's 1-3.

Honestly even taking the Browns and Giants losses, if Eddy just hits one of those kicks in the first Falcons game, I'd feel pretty good about the division. That loss is the one that hurts.

Justin Fields went 11th overall my guy. edit: and everyone was saying he was a bust until about 3-4 weeks ago.

Mahomes - 10th overall pick Watson - 12th overall pick Josh Allen - 7th overall pick Justin Herbert - 6th overall pick Lamar Jackson - 32nd overall pick Jalen Hurts - 53rd overall pick Would I prefer a top 2 pick to have our choice of QB prospects? Sure. But let's not act like it's the be all end all to getting out of QB hell. Hell, look at the litany of QBs in the past few drafts that went in the top 5: Darnold Mayfield Trubisky Goff Trey Lance Zach Wilson For every Joe Burrow or Cam Newton at #1 overall, there's a Baker Mayfield and Jared Goff out there.

Hindsight is 20/20 but I agree. And I like Jaycee as a player.

The 13 point spread implies a win probability of ~10% which sounds about right.

I would say it means it's tentatively over

I don't think age matters as much as tread for RBs. Foreman has 331 career carries and 353 career total touches. CMC, despite missing 23 games, has 269 carries and 366 touches since 2020 alone.

This secondary is horrendous

Wilks went back to his Rams turtle game plan. If he doesn’t trust PJ, then put Baker in. You need to threaten and have some semblance of a pass game. Unless he’s just being a tank commander in which case keep on keeping on.

Calling my shot today (bookmark this post) - one of the 5 candidates below WILL be the next Panthers HC Shane Waldron, OC, Seahawks Shane Steichen, OC, Eagles DeMeco Ryans, DC, 49ers Frank Reich, ex-HC, Colts Jim Harbaugh, HC, Michigan

Reich is more likely to land on his feet as a HC next season. Zero shot he’s a QB coach next season lol

No thanks. Take a shot at a QB at the top of the draft. None is without flaws, but it’s time.

Barnwell on Burns:

The frustrating thing is Carolina should probably be at worst 4-4 (Browns and Falcons games should have been Ws) and leading the division. I suppose in the grand scheme a top 5 pick is better to be able to hopefully land a franchise QB, but this team absolutely would've been able to compete this season. I wonder what the record would've been if Rhule was fired last offseason and a better coaching staff had been in place all offseason...

Again, there's no reason to rush this particular deal because the picks are 2024 and 2025. You can probably get that deal in the offseason if you really want. Might as well hold out until then and see if someone will send picks that can help sooner than 2024 and 2025. This team is not that far away. Drop in a franchise QB (I know, I know, easier said than done) and with good coaching they can absolutely contend for the playoffs in 2024.

If the firsts were in 2023 and 2024, I think Carolina probably takes this deal. Being in 2024 and 2025 makes it tougher because there's no guarantee the current GM and whoever is the new coach would be making that 2025 pick.

Another name I could see being dealt is Marquis Haynes. Pass rushers are always en vogue and trading Haynes frees up $3m in cap space next year. Think we could maybe get a mid-round pick (4th?) for him. Given the Miami OT we just signed as well, wouldn't be surprised at all to see Erving shipped off to a team like the Chargers, Broncos, Giants, or Jets for a 5th.

Lol wat

PJ is 7/8 for 67 yards and the one incompletion is a TMJ drop of a 38 yard pass

Wilks single-handedly showing why there’s no merit to the lawsuit with his atrocious game day coaching.
