Called in to Late Hits on my way home tonight.  I love Gil.  I wanted to know his thoughts on the Panther offense.  He said these things...

Bills are a lot better than most people think.  McDermott's knowledge of our offense a big factor last week.

Need to get more out of CMC.  Benjamin has improved...Funchess has to keep improving. Of course tough to replace Greg.  At the end said need to see better play "out of my friend" (Cam)

I did not ask but he said that he believes the Panthers are a playoff team this year.  Alex Marvez agrees.

Love Brandt as well. 

I'm shocked at all the negativity surrounding the Panthers. 

Most importantly we're 2-0, but we've been dominate on defense and average on offense. If Cam hits two wide open throws in the SF and Bills game, and Benji holds onto that TD people would be ranking us up w/ one of the best teams in the league. 

Offense is going to only get more cohesive as we go along. Losing Olsen is a blow but it could be a blessing in disguise a la Benji two years ago. This could really be Funchess' chance to step up

I agree with you. The offense will be fine as we go. I have faith in Matso to fix this line. Look what he has done with what he was given. Cam is improving and you know this is killing him more than anyone. He needs to stop relying on CMC all the time and use him more as a decoy. I think he is best as a receiver more than a running back. Unless it is on screens and short passes.

Finally, a media pundit acknowledged we played a good defensive team and Mcd knew us well.

      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?
