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?

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
