Are we in a Window situation?


Shocker

Recommended Posts

Yeah there’s a window, don’t know how long Luke plays given the concussion history, and we have players approaching 30, so don’t know if there production drops, keep thinking too far in the future and you’ll waste the current talent on the roster, the evident issues with the team have gone 3-4 seasons not being properly addressed. A sense of urgency needs to be in effect

so Brees takes our team further this year?

I say yes...but at the very least it’s arguable. Give brees the Panthers defense?

and that’s a 39 year old HOF QB, not a 28 year old QB in his prime. This fact alone makes them in different tiers.

you guys have to stop making this forum look bad I mean homer all out come game day but we don’t need to look so stupid for other lurkers geez

No because our defense couldn’t stop above average qbs,  but as of now it’s brees over cam and it’s not debatable, and that’s partly due to the FO inability to get him WRs to throw to but I gotta give credit where it’s due. Cam’s dealt with a subpar offesne and Bree has dealt with a subpar defense majority of there careers.

Olsen -100% Totally worth it. 

TD- will probably be worth it after you see his effort knowing it’s his last year. I think he finds that step he lost this year for his finale. 

Kalil- Tough one , obviously stay if he’s healthy . Will probably be on his terms. 

The rest I agree with if we find a replacement that is equal or lower priced. 

Going to be some tough decisions .

if you look at the team cap situation wed save the most cap money by cutting kalil and olsen too out of anyone else on the roster lol. Ugh.

Our window will close as soon as cam decides he's had enough of management and asks for a trade.. I don't have enough faith in us finding a suitable replacement for him if that happens. 

Hopefully they give him some poo to work with this year and he takes us to the promised land in the next year or two

Your window opens when you have a franchise QB in his prime, and to some extent the window can remain open past the QBs prime. For instance Brady and Brees have have held the window open longer than usual because they are 1st ballot HOF QBs. Our window will be open until Cam's play dips significantly due to the aging process. One major problem is that the Falcons and Saints windows are open as well. Not good. It makes the NFCS brutal and easily the best conference in the NFL. Compounding the problem is that the Saints and Falcons have better coaching staffs and coordinators than the Panthers. Drafting the wrong players has also been a major problem, for instance KB. When you screw up in the 1st round it has a major effect for years to come. I think we're in a position now where we need to hit FA hard to fix the team as best we can to contend with the Saints and Falcons.

    • You literally did it right there and didn't even remember it. Sorry long Friday.  
    • TMac to finish up Feels good after pads came on. Physicality is a little different, playstyle is a little different. Refs let the players play, so he has to earn his stripes to get calls and just has to be better playing through contact. Focusing on staying confident and listening to coaches. Not much has changed for him, still trying to be his authentic self. Was asked about boxing practice he was seen doing. He's done that since he was a kid because his dad was a boxer and taught his siblings. Was the youngest and got beat up the most, but now he's the fourth of sixth children. Boxing helps with his cardio and being reactive with his hands to the ball + DB. Admits to struggling the first couple of days, hats off to the DB corps for making him better every single day but had his best day on Wednesday. Even the best get got. Just have to remain confident in preparation and abilities. Confidence will take you only so far, and that's where his resilience plays a factor. XL is authentic and great to have in the room. Can rely on him to be the same guy every day. They make each other better. Everybody feeds off of each other and when one person wins they all win. Happy to be a part of the receiver room. Was asked about how he was laughing harder than everybody else at XL getting his feet in the water off the back of the boat: "Man he needs to be stopped bro... He can't be serious but he was serious. It's all good." Playing against the increased amount of press he's facing in practice is helping him get more physical. His job is to catch the ball, so if it touches his hand he has to come down with it. Only catches with one hand if he needs to, but that gives the QB a bigger catch radius. Had a pregame routine where he did a 360 one-handed catch, but doesn't do it anymore. Working on being a pro: Getting into the facility early and getting treatment, eating better, etc. Just wants to win re: rookie goals. Anything he can do to help the team win. "I'm looking for to the season man and keep pounding."
    • DJ Wonnum up next Felt the defense came out ready to work at all levels and took over practice. New standard around here. Young guys have to know they're coming in to work. Last year was not the standard. Nic and Princely are fun. Different personalities but loves what they bring to the room. Sky is the limit for them. Nic sits next to Wonnum, Princeley sits next to Jones II. Allows them to be better mentors. Feels great and ready to go Incoom's athleticism allows him to bend and get low even to compensate for not being the biggest guy. Can set the edge. EDGE guys are helped when the ILBs can get home because it allows them to be a little more free while still in scheme. DB being back means his dominance is back. Can set the edge from the 3 or wherever he's at to make the runs bounce to the EDGE guys. Winning mentality and standard this year. Championship level from practice to how you live off of the field. Accept greatness and excellence with guys wanting to come to work every day. Not settling for anything less. Been in guys' shoes that are fighting for roster spots so he knows how to address them. Remembers not knowing what's next, especially as a rookie. Have a clear mind and ask the older guys a lot of questions. Has a good relationship already with Pat Jones II due to knowing each other and talking football all of the time. Can make hand gestures and know immediately what to adjust. Taking care of his body and excited to start the season. Getting it acclimated to football again by being able to tackle and bring players to the ground. Didn't know they were playing live tomorrow. Don't tell me it'll be "thud." Browns next week will allow them to hit somebody else and get a feel of what a different team is doing. Also allows the team to see where they're at on offense and defense. Ready to play football. Not worried about the QB matchup for Cleveland, going to play hard regardless of who is back there.
