Russell Shepard should've been cut that first day of moves when we released Stew and Coleman. I have no idea why he's still on the roster. He's owed a $375k roster bonus. I doubt that will have much of an impact on whether or not we cut him. We could pay that out and still save $1.7M by releasing him.

Shep will get cut with post June 1st designation as soon as we add another WR in FA or by trade like Crabtree OR when we draft one in the first 4-5 rounds. But not until that guy is on the roster. Say what you will but having Shep as a #5 is better than many other options, if it came to that. I think we will upgrade still in FA and/or draft but in the off chance it doesn't work out and fall that way then we have Shep as insurance and on ST.

Honest to god, I'd rather have Bersin out there than Shepard.

Shepard played in nearly a third of our offensive snaps and converted that playing time into 17 catches for 202 yards and 1 TD. That's terribad.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
