Offseason - Offense or Defense for DG


beastson

Recommended Posts

2 out the last 3 years, the number 1 defense has won the SB. Carolina D is good, but not quite that level

or

Offense, getting Kelvin back will help but man Shula and the tackles still is a problem. Game plan was bad and tackles was getting no help and couldnt keep up

I'm interested to see where Gettle put his focus on in the offseason?

We NEED a RT.  Remmers was more responsible than any individual player on our team for this game.  We need a DE, though Ealy showed the f out tonight.  We need a CB and probably a S.  If it were me, the positional priorities would go BPA among DE/RT in the first, the other one in the second, CB, then S.

Defense - Need a DE to play alongside Kony Ealy, would like to pick up a FA DE and a DE in draft. Say Goodbye to Jared Allen and Charles Johnson. Let Charles Tillman, Cortland Finnegan, and Roman Harper walk. We need youth in the secondary. Offense- Kelvin Benjamin is already a big addition, let Cotchery go and get a young speedy slot WR. Replace Mike Remmers with Daryl Williams. Get a second TE that is a legit threat in the passing game, Dickson does not provide enough week to week. Finally, perhaps get a blocking FB.

This game showed us the same weaknesses we've had for like 4 seasons now.

OTs, DBs, WRs

OT isn't really up for debate anymore, Oher hasn't been good in years and Remmers reminded us why he is who he is, an average guy who can be at best an average player.

WR need is pretty dependent on Funchess' development and KB's return to health as they can potentially be our permanent 1/2 on the field.  But Cotch is old, Ginn has bad hands, and Philly shows up occasionally.  So looking into drafting one should be up there as well.

Need some more fresh blood in the secondary, Coleman was a great find, but Harper and Peanut are old, someone solid with Norman/Bene/Coleman/Tre could turn a great defense into an elite one

I'd go defense. CAR doesn't really have pass rushers like that. Ealy was nice and CJ did his thing but he's a shell of himself. Jared is done. Could you imagine a D where you can just send all four lineman and don't have to blitz all the time to have a consistent pass rush?

Umm, remmers cut, probably Norwell too.

Kicker,..cut.

CJ,... Cut

Cotchery, Harper,,....Cut

Go draft CB, OT, DE, another OG.

Benji Funchess Ginn and Brown are our receivers. The rest can go to hell.

Tolbert,... I'm still pissed so I'll wait until I calm down,...

we are in great shape though. If we have another strong draft, I see us fighting for it again and again as long as we keep this corps.

    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
