Dashon Goldson 32 years old has been released by the Falcons.  Any chance we bring him in to play SS, and move coleman back to his pro-bowl position at FS? Goldson is older, and slower, but could be another Roman Harper type in the box safety, and free Kurt up to do some ball hawking.  Do you guys think is it worth a shot?

A 1-5 team should not be bringing in aging veterans to provide a temporary fix.  You go with youth and gain experience so the team can improve moving forwards.  IMHO bringing in Goldson would be counter-productive to the teams future.  

I don't see anything wrong with bringing players along slowly. That was pretty much standard back in the day. You put players into the frying pan before they are actually ready, and suddenly everyone wants to throw the player into the dumpster as fuel for the impending fire.

We should be in heavy player evaluation mode now, which means we need to take a long look at our rookies and scrubs in live fire on Sundays. Replacing a rookie or scrub with another scrub isn't going to change our fate. It's over. We need to evaluate what we have so we can clean house in the off season, and add to our core with high draft picks and good free agents.

Let's be real here, folks.

Nobody that's in the unemployment line six weeks into the season is gonna come in and cause a spectacular turnaround.

The team can - and will - churn the roster from time to time but anybody expecting to find a savior coming off his couch really needs to lower their expectations.

It "may not hurt" but it also may not make us any better. Guys are unemployed for a reason.

    • The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?
    • I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this! 
    • in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
