My initial thoughts so far, since we won't be active in the early phase of FA...

 

 

We've brought the band back together for the most part. The only player of note from last year's team we're losing is Bell. We've at least signed another one in Oher, who "could" be an upgrade. We've kept all of our other guys, some who could have a bright future like Fozzy. Continuity could be nice, especially on the DL by bringing back both vet DTs for spot duty. We've also brought back Ginn, who at least instantly upgrades Special Teams (a damn achilles heel last year if there ever was one) and if nothing else, offers a fast guy to stretch the field and open up the middle for Olsen, KB, and check downs. 

 

All small potatoes? Sure. But last year, we couldn't retain our own...so there's a silver lining of progress in there, although granted, last year's FA crop from the team was better. But just bringing back last year's team, which finished on a high note, while continuing to get healthy (Cam never was) and having the young guys improve is enough to win this division IMO. Now, hopefully adding some gems in the draft or a surprise Mike Mitchell level guy in FA (#2 WR perhaps?), it's time to leave no doubt on the road to 3 straight division titles. Get it done, Gettleman.

Hardy signs Panthers mega-deal at 4:05p. Huddle crashes. All-Pros get to keep Huddling. All-Pro subs go up 2000%.

Igo has been playing you guys this whole time. [emoji111]️

 

Don't get their hopes up. But this place would be much quieter without the kids. During the season we should have an AP Monday and lock out the kids.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Totally.  They had a guy starred on their boards that made it in trade worthy range. The risk was totally worth it.  Our case was the classic of a franchise not having a QB, do what you can to get one.  That often results being thrust into a bad situation, putting crazy pressure on 1 guy, and it becomes even worse when he's not that great.  But if we find ourselves just a few spots behind a guy we really like, I don't see a problem.   We just have to see how the season shakes out and enjoy this roller coaster.  It's not pretty at times but we somehow are 5-4 haha. If Bryce turns a page and cranks out some truly QB driven wins, then maybe we do consider just rolling with him and a Dalton replacement in 2026.  Someone like a Jarrett Stidham/Tanner McKee.   However, if he stays mostly the same (whether we fall apart or he struggles on/off but we still win some), I think you have to leave to door open for a QB in the draft.  Scout and meet with the top ones, see if any really fit what D&D want.  Maybe that guy could be Mateer.  Who knows

      Young QBs lead their teams to undefeated October

      I lived in that area for a minute, and 2 decades of BB and Brady made them delusional.  They think everyone is the 2nd coming of Brady and they're just on a short coffee break til the next dynasty.

      Bryce Young hasn't cleared 200 passing yards in a single game in that window.  Meanwhile, Rico Dowdle has put together the greatest 5 game stretch of rushing production in Panthers history.   And RBs have sort of been our thing, so there is ample competition.  This team hasn't been lead by Bryce Young in that stretch. Those wins are simplistically 3 things.  Schedule, Rico, and defense.
