It's worse than I thought

There's a number of holes to be filled on this team and its going to take more than #8 and #40 to fill them. We'll have to use free agency this year.

So my point is that its way too early to start discussing which direction we HAVE to go in the draft with the whole pool available to us. Rest assured, if we get to mid-March though and Dave is busy tossing his feet up on a leather couch and watching 07 Giants highlights while tossing back Dr. Pepper, then I'll frustratingly get involved in the discussion over which position or side of the ball we have to prioritize this year.

If this FO does not address in either free agency or the draft the lack of explosiveness on this offense, expect another season like was just had 

truthfully, outside of Olsen, who does any DC fear, Newton has regressed for many reasons as well and I am not sure any DC has fear of him either  he is a shadow of what he was just two years removed

I hate how the draft is implied as the only way to build.

Norwell and Philly were UDFAs.

Oher was an FA and any criticism of him can be directed to Byron Bell.

Resigned Ginn. Brought in Cotchery + Avant. Brought in Dickson. Brought in some RBs.

If starters are what we are talking last I checked there were only 3 defensive starters drafted by Gettleman unless you include the rookie CBs. If we aren't declaring Williams a starter then imo by no means should Boston nor Ealy be considered starters either.

We didn't get cap space until this past season and a chunk of that was saved to retain core players this coming offseason and next. It's not like we had tons of money to throw around.

This Alamo defense of Gettleman of "who could we have had?" Becomes more preposterous every year.

 

He has been here a long time now. No, I don't remember who was available for free agency four years ago, but I do know teams used it to their advantage.

 

Hey guess what

 

Those "its just a weak class this year" OTs have gone all over the league in recent years and strengthened OLs. In fact as I remember it, two rookies destroyed us in Primetime on a Sunday Night not so long ago.

 

Those "there just aren't any good DBs" all just went to New York and gave them a ride to the postseason.

 

It goes on and on, at every position. Your GM just has to be good enough or willing enough to find them.

    • I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks. 
    • They both outstanding players and both had monster games against Jets.  We gonna need it again this week with the bills.  Go Panthers!!!!
    • Yeah okay fair enough.  Maybe the point is if you have a better system and players you can dumpster dive for a RB and if you don’t you have to shop top shelf. I dunno.    I would put my assets into the best OL I could get and let them make UDFA like Rico look like stars. As opposed to putting CMC behind a makeshift OL. And right now I don’t even remember who was on the OL when we took him, just sayin.
