Basically, hit gold on FA's last year. Struck out this year but didn't have many other options because of Hurney. Pass rush and O line biggest weaknesses. Says Cam is shaky but its not Cam's fault, and questions why Rivera left him in last night.

Nothing we really haven't heard before. Personally I wish he went more into the coaching and specifically the offensive play calling's shortcomings, and I definitely don't think leaving Newton in last night has been RR's only questionable decision so far this year.

Where does he get that Fernando Velasco is the replacement for Jordan Gross?

 

He explains in his footnote:

 

Outside of a couple of asterisked changes,1 these are like-for-like swaps at the same position.
Gross retired and was replaced at left tackle by Byron Bell, who moved over from right tackle. Nate Chandler, who mostly played right guard last season, moved to right tackle. Velasco has eventually become the one who stepped in at guard. I’m not cheating here to try to replace Gross with an inferior player; Chandler has been abysmal, Bell has been alternately injured and ineffective, and backup David Foucault has flailed. If anything, Velasco’s been the best of that group.

Assuming of course he agrees that the playcalling is a big problem..  Funny how most folks talking about the Panthers outside the huddle are not blaming the play calling but player execution and lack of talent.

He couldn't have known Hardy would get suspended though.  

 

I do agree that the Hardy tag was kind of a luxury signing for us however, even before the suspension. When he plays, he's clearly a great player, but did we really need nearly $30M invested in the Dline when it means having DeCoud/Harper at safety and Bell/Chandler at tackle?

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Actually that 4400 was based on a 16 game season to match Bryce's 16 games this year. Your offense has to be to drive the ball when it matters. Bryce doesn't do that with any level of consistency. If you're building a team that isn't focused on your QB, then fine. Then there's no need to pay Bryce as a franchise QB because literally anyone else will do. If you're going to pay him 50m plus per season, you have to be able to put the team on his shoulders and know he's going to carry the load. So far, when the pressure is on to get it done, Bryce has fallen miserably short of the target. 4-6 to finish out the season and 0-2 when all we need is a win to secure a playoff spot isn't stepping up and proving yourself as a franchise QB. I'd say it's quite the opposite.  There isn't a single coach in this league that would take Bryce over Burrow and very few if any that would take Bryce over Prescott. Hurts didn't have to throw in 2025 because Philly's defense was disgusting and Saquan had a MVP season. But then again, Hurts has shown that he can when it counts, and then there's his signature. Philly runs the tush push to lethal perfection, but that's a play we can't even consider with Bryce. You used 3 QBs from teams that had no defense to show QB stats don't always matter. When we had the worst defense in the NFL, we didn't see Bryce step up and carry the offense and put up gaudy numbers in a losing season because we were playing catch up. It was pretty much the opposite.  What have we seen from Bryce consistently to consider offering him a top 10 NFL franchise QB level contract? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?

      If you pay Bryce $50M a year you greatly limit your ability to put the type of team around him you need to have to have a chance to win. THAT is the problem. Hell, we can't win with him on a rookie contract. How the hell are we supposed to start winning with him paying him like a franchise QB and having to make tough roster decisions to accommodate his cap hit?
