Please, without an experienced Cam Newton we would be drafting in the top 10. Cam is the x-factor.

Cam is not good enough to win without a good enough team around him. No one is. Not Brady, not Brees, not Manning, no one.

Hurney is a poor roster builder, even with Cam on the team.

You haven't got the first clue how this works.

You’re saying we would have the same record with any Joe Schmo at qb? Got it.

I came here to commment on just that. What people are really talking about are those contracts handed out after the lockout. That was all JR to show people he was committed to spending after gutting the roster in preparation for the lockout. 

JR was even quoted referencing it after people made claims he was cheap. He had  everything to do with it.

I'm saying he cut your favorite player. We  had our best season and went to the Super Bowl shortly after that.

Grow up and get over it.

Fyi, I didn’t mind him cutting Steve Smith. I did have a problem with how he did it and what we replaced him with.

So now, in the effort to make it seem like Hurney knows what he's doing, we've elevated Delhomme's play to "All Pro" level...

Good grief.

I don’t like revisionist history either but Jake had a good run.  Won’t bad mouth his time here. (Well, before the AZ game)

He also wanted to trade the pick that ended up being Cam so he can he can draft up to get Clausen but miraculously  couldn’t find a suitor.

Finding a QB is probably the hardest job to do far as building a team. Nobody new how bad clausen was gonna be BEFORE he was drafted and some mocks leading up to the draft had him going in the top 10. Consider hurney one of the guys who was sold him. Go into next he takes cam number one overall when a lot of other GMs wouldnt have done it. It swings back and forth.

The 31 other GMs who passed on him, including the ones whose teams were badly in need of a quarterback, can certainly be credited with knowing more than we did.

Hurney and Gettleman both made mistakes that probably cost us Super Bowl victories. I think there is a good chance that Hurney learned from his mistakes. He has certainly made at least 2 very good moves since he has been back this time. I am willing to give him a shot (with a short leash).

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

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
