Eddie can't hit anything over 50, I'm good finding someone else. Kickers are replaceable.
Last year he was 5-7 from 50 plus yards with a long of 56. He had a off year this year. That being said, if we move on, so be it.

They aren't as replaceable as us fans like to think because we've lost a lot of games because of missed kicks.
Agreed. We haven't had a great kicker since Gano, and maybe as far back as Kasay. We almost had one in Butker, but the front office at that time made some questionable moves.

I agree, peoples reaction to him simply being seen in Charlotte is ludicrous. If he was even seen.

I may be in the minority, but I don't think we need to focus on getting Bryce a #1 WR this draft. Last season we almost beat 3 playoff teams (KC, TB, Philly) in consecutive weeks with our current group of WR's. Legette and Coker should be better next year and it appears Theilen is coming back. We may able to find a FA this offseason to improve the WR core.
On the other hand, our defense was arguably the worst in Panther history. It's got to get better or we have no chance of making the playoffs. Anything to improve the front 7 or the secondary has to be the top priority in the draft.
I'm also not overly concerned with "draft value". If we could find a DE who could set the edge and get between 8-10 sacks in 2025 he'd be worth picking at #8, even if he had a low 1st round/high 2nd round grade entering the draft. Brian Burns just got a $30 mil per year deal and he can only do one of those things.
Same here. And I am willing to see if Leggett can develop anymore before we spend a first rounder on another wide receiver, (especially when the defense needs significant upgrades).

Yep.... They sacked that slippery weaselly Mahomes 6 times. We need defense all the way.
In fairness, we sacked him five times when we played. The difference was that when they didn't sack him, they still played good cover defense, kept him from breaking off major runs, and got some turnovers. If we are ever going to challenge for a Superbowl, the defense needs to improve across the board.

Eagles also hit home runs drafting DeJean and Mitchell plus have an elite #1 receiver
This.
The Eagles have drafted better than us and done better than us in free agency. Although in fairness, they have drafted better than virtually every team in the NFL.

They said it was a "network services" issue. Pretty generic term. Its probably some kind of code or database upgrade that went haywire. Or less likely but possible, they got hacked in some manner.

Well, he would seem to be the answer to our YAC (Yards After Catch) problem.
That being said, he probably doesn't want to come here, and I am not sure he would be what we need.

The Eagles dominated on both sides of the line which was the key to success. And that is how to beat any team by not having to blitz on the defensive side and being able to pass protect and block on the offensive side.
We have done a good job on the offensive line and need to do the same on the defensive side this year. I am convinced if we can pressure the quarterback without blitzing like Philly did last night, we would be a contender. I think we really need to upgrade DLine and safety. Everos scheme demands pressure and right now we have no one outside of Brown who can collapse a pocket or demand a double team.
Bryce and the offense's worst game after he resumed started was the Dallas game, primarily because they were getting pressure up the middle. If you get pressure up the middle and the opposing qb is not Michael Vick, the defense is going to have a good day.

And both teams were top defenses on the season.
I think the Chiefs made a conscious decision to focus on Barkley, and while they shut him down, they paid a defensive price for it as they go crushed by Hurts and the Eagles receivers. Although the turnovers hurt a lot.

It is somewhat appropriate in a season with sort of a defensive resurgence, the team with the best defense won the game.

Hurts is not even remotely close to the quality of quarterback Patrick Mahomes is...
...but it is, and always has been, a team sport.
I agree, but I will say that the eagles built a team the way we would probably need to, in order to win a SB.
-
Jalen Hurts will be the MVP as he is the qb of the winning team.
But the Eagles defense dominated the game until the last 8 minutes or so. They should be the joint MVP.

Well, it does demonstrate the importance of having an effective pass rush.
Ironically, we had one of our pass rushing performances of the year against the Chiefs.

The Eagles defense is better than the Bucs defense when they beat them in the Superbowl, but so far, the tactics and strategy is similar. Pressure Mahomes constantly and relentlessly.
A lot of teams have that strategy, executing successfully is the difficult part.

Taylor Swift is not happy right now.

So it's available to every team to execute then?
I can't imagine trying it with Bryce.

So far, the Eagles look laser focused, while the Chiefs look slow.

The SB bowl experience difference is massive. Just look at the rosters and who has been and who hasn't.
Not saying there is no difference, but the majority of the eagles key players have been in the playoffs and the Superbowl. Hurts, Smith, Brown, Johnson, 3 out of 5 starting oline, etc... have all been there before. Barkley hasn't, but not sure it will matter with him.
I mean its not like they are playing us.

KC hasn't faced a defense like this yet and they are highly mediocre offensively. I think that is the difference.
Conversely, the playoff/Super Bowl experience difference between KC and Philky is fuging insane.
Not sure the difference is that great. KC has a little more experience, but its not like Philly experience is non existent.
Fwiw, I think that both teams have great defenses. KC has a better qb, but Philly has more offensive talent all around. Could come down to special teams.
-
I think its going to be a defensive struggle, with KC winning 20-13 or thereabouts.

This made me laugh cause this is 100% true..
Jake was like a 24-32 ranked QB in the league. Like if you could upgrade you would. But he was also beloved because he was like 'your dad' playing QB..
I also only started watching the Panthers when he was the QB so he holds a lot of nostalgia for me.. but you are right.. lets not forget that when he was here we always wanted to move on from him.
Jake actually had a pretty good run from 03-05, when he was middle of the pack ratings wise. His rating in 05 was top 10 in the NFL. He fell off quickly after that, but John Fox just couldn't bring himself to admit it.

The games didn't always match that. I would say he also benefitted from a weak ACC and a very strong overall Clemson team.
Not to say he wasn't clearly one of the best QB's in college but the hype was never the reality. It really hasn't ever been since high school.
I agree. I think a big part of the problem though is that the number of people who be generational (elite) qb's in the NFL is exceedingly small and its difficult to accurately judge that ability because, among other things, the talent disparity in teams. Arguably the two best qb's in the NFL right now (Allen and Mahomes), while certainly well known, weren't called generational talents in college. If Mahomes had played for Alabama, he would have come into the NFL with more hype than Lawrence. But he played for Texas Tech and got drafted after Mitch Trubiski.

Trevor had the generational resume though. 3 seasons, 3 undefeated regular seasons. Only 2 Ls that came in the playoffs. And he checked every physical box.
but he wasn’t as good as Watson at Clemson.
Clemson had a much superior lineup to virtually any team they played they played in the regular season. Having a lineup that good makes a good qb look great, and a below average qb look average. In Lawrence's last season, Uiagalelei went 1-1 and scored 40 in a loss to Notre Dame while Lawrence was out with injury.

I read something today about a rumor that the Jags are considering moving on from Lawrence. I think its interesting, but I don't think its true (maybe even absurd). And doing so would be idiotic on their part. While he certainly hasn't lived up to the tank for Trevor hype, he is decent enough to stick with for a while. And getting someone better is a longshot.
