Santonio Holmes? I guess it couldn't hurt.

A hockey guy writing about the Carolina Panthers. That's precious!  But at this point, perhaps Sean Sarcu of Rant Sports has a point. Old Holmes is a return man also.

 

Holmes could be a useful addition for a receiving corps in need of some offensive punch, and no team comes to mind faster than the Carolina Panthers.

 

 

Holmes isn’t the same player that won a Super Bowl in 2009, but he’s still a smart, savvy wideout capable of making some plays if given the opportunity. He showed some flashes of promise in limited action for the disastrously dysfunctional Bears. While Carolina isn’t in such a great situation itself, it is certainly no Chicago (Rochester Jeffersons, anyone?). A change of scenery could do wonders for Holmes, and the Panthers would stand to benefit from it.

 

 

Well, it would be a move that wreaks of desperation, but that's pretty much where we are.  Perhaps he could help our anemic offense that relies so heavily on passing win some of these winnable games (on paper anyway), get us over the hump and secure the division.

 

Now let me go have a therapeutic moment of meditation.

can he catch with his back to the ball? because until cam gets some protection that buys him more than 2 seconds to throw the ball and/or shula draws up some plays that present cam with some real quick passes, and the defense doesn't suck and allow the other team to score some quick points, making us play from behind, it doesn't matter who we have at WR.

Our priority is about DBs, and OTs.

Our Wrs corps is good enough, fix the o'line, sit cam since he is seriously inujured, find us at least 3 starting DBs, save the private Krakken if this is still possible.. and the team will be back on tracks.

 

Our WR corps is not "good enough".  It cannot create separation, period.  

 

I don't see us fixing the O-line, or the defensive backfield before the season ends, so why not just do the best you can?  It's not like it will cost anything.

 

Addressing the O-line and defensive backfield and other priorities (and, yes, our WR corps should absolutely be one of those priorities) can only be sufficiently addressed after the season.  We can only make the best of it right now.

just a waste of money at this point, might as well try to carry as much cap over to next year.

 

Holmes won't cost us anything except what we're already paying some useless scrub.  The cost is virtually nothing, and it certainly won't have any cap implications for next year...unless G-man decides to sign him to a longer contract.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

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

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
