A cap expert gives a little analysis on our RBs among other things (via Person)

Is there any chance we could trade D-will for anything ?  Maybe the Raiders who haven't won a game would give us something in a trade .

 

Heck yea.  Just did the math, below is what we could get for DWill.

 

 

DWilli and our next years 2nd and 3rd, for their 2nd.

 

 

Call Reggie.

Need to get rid if Williams bc he takes reps away from whoever else is here. Bottom line.

Need youth. Watch any game. Raiders last night....do we want Jones Drew wasting reps the Murray kid could be getting? Williams is old. Old is proven to be a bad thing at 30 plus.

From a pure playing time aspext he needs to go so we get youth on the field

Raiders won last night. They won bc they FINALLY let there YOUNG RB start to get some early work. Huge difference. What that RB did in a quarter was enough for them to sit on all game.

They spent most of the season letting there older RBs (MJD and nothing but a name McFadden) waste reps.

Mr. Scot I've done that before. Run a search

 

You were asked for examples before.  You didn't provide them then either.

 

(said you didn't have time to look them up) :lol:

 

Gross's own words, and the fact that he's actually still working with the Panthers organization, contradict you.

We need to give Fozzy 12-14 carries.

Nobody knows with 100 percent surety that Gross would have retired if Gettleman had left Gross and his original contract alone prior to last season.  He may have retired. He may have stayed.  I still believe that there was a good chance that he would have played it out.  Once he started thinking in the other direction, it was pretty much a fait accompli.

But there's no actual evidence to support it.

 

There is evidence refuting it.

 

Believe it if you want, but it's pure speculation with nothing to back it up.

No real evidence refuting it either. Just a man saying that he is enjoying his retirement after the fact, and that he has no regrets and made the right decision. 

 

But, that's neither here nor there.  He is gone now, and the problem is that G-man erroneously thought that Bell could replace him, or at least be an OK bridge.  We all see how that is panning out.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
