Philly's D is just trash without Jalen Carter

They've been pulling games out of their ass all season. They could easily have at least 3 losses.

Dart has a little juice to him.

I'll admit to getting duped by his early success finding impact free agents in the dumpster bin but man, that really was fool's gold. It was all downhill after that

It's a good year to have a good team that wasn't necessarily expected to be a contender. There's not a team in the league that strikes fear in the hearts of opponents. Every team seems very glazed and very bearable hence why no one even made it to 5-0.

Going into a season with Chandler and Bell penciled in as your starting OTs is just inexcusable. That's the type of OT tanden you field after getting decimated by injuries. To go into a season with them planned starters to bookend your OL is just unbelievable roster neglect.

Yeah they were pretty good LBs. Not great and if they're your best defenders you're in trouble but if they're your B or C level starters you're in good shape.

It doesn't change who he is. We just replaced a serviceable starter with complete trash. Spoon and Anderson were 3rd round picks and basically what we were hoping to get with Trevin Wallace it's just not working out so far.

I honestly think Spoon, Anderson, and Shaq were all basically interchangeable. I think Spoon was the best of the bunch but you're not gonna see a big drop off replacing any with any of the rest.

They all kinda mirrored each other like that Spoon's and Anderson's three 100+ tackle seasons came over the course of a four year span.

Good. Glad they're holding each other accountable and realizing they got a do better impacting the opposing QB.

Yeah, he has all the talent in the world but it's time to start translating that into wins. This is year six and he's barely over .500 as a starter with zero playoff wins. He's past the point of his career where you can learn on stats and well into the portion of his career where success is determined by wins and post season success.

Do I think Spoon was the best of the bunch? Yeah. Do I put him head and shoulders above the others? No.

I mean, it was a great 1-2 punch of RBs but at a tremendous cost that limited the rest of the roster.

Three 100+ tackle seasons in 12. All three guys peaked around the same level.

He had three 100+ tackle seasons in 10 season. Shaq has had four in 11.

I wouldn't go that far. He's basically a James Anderson/Will Witherspoon level player. Check the box starter. Not a problem area but not a guy you make a cornerstone of your defense either.

Shaq at $1.25M would've been a great addition but let's be honest... who's passing up an opportunity to play for the Bills right now to sign with the Panthers? Shaq has made plenty of money. Unless we were willing to offer him stupid money again yeah, I'd much rather play for the Bills currently.

I say he's a run of the mill starter. You say he has had a decent career. We're saying the same thing. I never had any issues with Shaq. My issues were with the Panthers in that one, we drafted a player in the 1st round at a position of our greatest strength when there were options available that would've provided us with more initial help. You make a move like that because you think a guy is special, that he's by far and away the best talent available. Two, after he had proven to be good but not great (basically a run of the mill starter) on the field, we turn around and pay him like he's a future HOFer. These aren't issues with Shaq. They're issues with the organization.

I don't even blame Remmers. The Falcons did us a massive favor showing us his Achilles heel in our lone regular season loss. They ruined our perfect season but in doing so they should've helped us win the SH. Remmers absolutely couldn't handle an elite speed rusher one on one. Providing Remmers help on Von Miller out of the gate should have been plan A in SB50 and we needed to have a plan B of shifting to focus more on quick developing routes of our typical slow developing downfield passing game wasn't planning out. Remmers gets most of the blame from fans for the outcome of that game but honestly I put much more of the blame on Shula. Vic Beasley and the Falcons had already given you a preview. The Broncos players literally laughing in the post-game interviews about how we changed up literally nothing for that game was just the icing on the cake. Shula was playing checkers against Wade Phillips chess.

Yeah he clearly wanted nothing to do with a rookie QB and seeing what he's doing with an elite QB recruit at Nebraska (albeit a seemingly mentally ill or who is more interested in cosplaying another man than concentrating on being the best version of himself) maybe it starts to show why.

I liked JStew but he honestly might be the most overrated player amongst Panthers fans. Only one 1000 yard season and only two double digit TD seasons and all of that came within his first two seasons. He was a good player, don't get me wrong. But he was terrible ROI on a 1st round RB pick that also limited the ROI on our other (better) 1st round RB. If you look through his stats and tell me he was a mid-round pick it's like sweet. Nice pick. But if you look through his stats and tell me he was a 1st rounder it's like oof. Not great.

Honestly, Herbert would've likely busted here.

Pretty crazy how lucrative being a run of the mill NFL starter is. I guess it's a lot more lucrative when you have Marty Hurney and his "if we pay them like they're elite then they'll play like they're elite" mentality banging out the contracts.

The Giants are still flailing around in the mess he made up there too. Dude was an atrocious GM and just caught lightning in a bottle with those bargain basement free agents going into 2015 and his ego convinced him he could replicate that over and over again while he annihilated rosters.
