Called in to Late Hits on Sirius NFL Radio a few minutes ago.

Believes the 2nd half would have been a lot different if Seattle did not get such good field position on the kickoff. (Have not seen that mentioned here but is a great point.   That short field may have been the demon of the 2nd half.).

He thinks the Panthers will beat the Cards 41-38.  McClain and Finnegan, without mentioning names, are going to get lots of balls thrown their way....we all know that.

When he mentioned Cam he called him, "my good friend Cam."

Praised Richardson and Morrison for the type of players we have.

I think it's almost a certainty that the team lets off the gas. I think many teams do that in the midst of a blowout, but I think we do it way too early. Keeping that killer instinct out there a little longer could've made the box score read 41-14 instead of 31-24.

He is definitely one of the most panther friendly members of the national media.  Good story.

Brandt's resume' as a team architect is impeccable. No, he's not always right, but he's right more often than not. If someone wants to dispute something he says, he has the standing to back it up.

That, plus some of us get to a point where we're too old to give a flying rat's ass what people think, so we just do what we do.

Getting to a point where you just do what you do? Reminds me of a certain someone...

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

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Actually that 4400 was based on a 16 game season to match Bryce's 16 games this year. Your offense has to be to drive the ball when it matters. Bryce doesn't do that with any level of consistency. If you're building a team that isn't focused on your QB, then fine. Then there's no need to pay Bryce as a franchise QB because literally anyone else will do. If you're going to pay him 50m plus per season, you have to be able to put the team on his shoulders and know he's going to carry the load. So far, when the pressure is on to get it done, Bryce has fallen miserably short of the target. 4-6 to finish out the season and 0-2 when all we need is a win to secure a playoff spot isn't stepping up and proving yourself as a franchise QB. I'd say it's quite the opposite.  There isn't a single coach in this league that would take Bryce over Burrow and very few if any that would take Bryce over Prescott. Hurts didn't have to throw in 2025 because Philly's defense was disgusting and Saquan had a MVP season. But then again, Hurts has shown that he can when it counts, and then there's his signature. Philly runs the tush push to lethal perfection, but that's a play we can't even consider with Bryce. You used 3 QBs from teams that had no defense to show QB stats don't always matter. When we had the worst defense in the NFL, we didn't see Bryce step up and carry the offense and put up gaudy numbers in a losing season because we were playing catch up. It was pretty much the opposite.  What have we seen from Bryce consistently to consider offering him a top 10 NFL franchise QB level contract? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?

      If you pay Bryce $50M a year you greatly limit your ability to put the type of team around him you need to have to have a chance to win. THAT is the problem. Hell, we can't win with him on a rookie contract. How the hell are we supposed to start winning with him paying him like a franchise QB and having to make tough roster decisions to accommodate his cap hit?
