While our first 4 opponents haven't been "world beaters"...

Isn't anyone else extremely impressed with Rivera who is notorious for his slow starts? He's had the team prepared every week despite being down key players. Cam has been incredible and I'm not taking anything away from him but we should take a second and recognize Rivera for an uncharacteristic fast start to the season. (run on sentence ftw)

If someone is not impressed with a 4-0 start, they're just being silly.

You can only play the opponent thats in front of you and 4-0 is 4-0.

(Oh, by the way, the Panthers opponents are 3-12 as of right now.  Atlanta's opponents who are being bragged about like they are the best thing since sliced bread?  6-9.  For some reason 3-12 is "bad" (it is), but 6-9 is redefined to be "strong".)

Today Shula was not "good" but he wasn't as bad as he usually is so I won't harp on him. Rivera thus far has been ok, not bad but not great. There's still been clock management issues and game management issues (letting teams stay in the games instead of building a comfortable lead).  He's gotten a bit better about not taking three timeouts in his pocket to end halves, though, as well as solid challenge decisions for the most part.

We're 4-0 without KB, 2 quarters from Kuechly, 2 without Cotchery, no O-line depth with Williams and Silatolu injured, 2 weeks without Star, 1 week without CJ, and a weak run game.  Look at those things I just listed, I don't care who we played, we're 4-0, and getting healthy when we need to.  This team is a contender regardless of what anyone says.

      Joe Person mock draft. Mar 5.

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I love this draft because they picked the right OL.  It is possible that we have 2 rookies starting on the OL.  I would take Utah's Lomu as well, but for those who think you find the OL in free agency and not the draft, here is all I have to say:  We cannot give $110m to the 5 starting OL.  We need an infusion of youth on the OL as well.  If Ickey returns and can play, I imagine that he takes over for Hunt at RG--in 2027 or so.  Currently, our 2 guards and right tackle make up over 20% of the total cap.  We have to add 2 starters, but if Cade Mays was too pricey at around (anticipated) $8m, then we plan to draft a C, it seems. I think we draft an OT and C now because we will need a G or 2 and a RT soon.  While they were good in 2026, they were not elite.  For that kind of $$, we need elite.  Is starting a rookie LT and C ideal?  Nope.  But if we can get better than Nijman and Mays, we should be OK. I think we will pick up an ILB in free agency and add an ILB.  Who we draft (Mike or Will) will depend on who we sign.  Rodriguez is a favorite of mine, but if Golday is there, Morgan is going to take him.  Morgan will love him. I do not think we need to overpopulate the edge position right now because we have 1 edge returning from injury (Jones II), one rookie from last year ready to step up and could be really good (Scourton), and another who could be ready to step into the situational pass rusher role (Princely).  2 hold the edge very well and if we had a situational pass rusher to join Princely, we could be much better. I think rookies at Edge tend to jump considerably from their rookie seasons to years 2 and 3.  (Charles Johnson, Mike Rucker, and Greg Hardy were that way-and all became very good in time. Safety seems omitted, but we shall see.  That could be another free agent acquisition.

      Id like Evans from Duke in the draft as a shooter for the second unit. And probably a more athletic big to replace all, he's good but doesn't really fit the style. White, Evans, green, Williams and center tbd is a pretty good second unit
