You know who I speak of.....safety, running back, and guard. One of each in no particular order. Hopefully before pre-season. I hope they are not waiting for June cuts just to pick up a bunch of jags. Still a few FA that would certainly help this team. What u got?

 I don’t know that the team feels there’s as big a need at safety and guard as many fans do. So I wouldn’t really expect any big splashes there. 

And at running back, I wonder if they haven’t already had talks with CJ Anderson, but his price tag is a little more than they are willing to pay for a back up. If that’s the case, we are probably waiting until tomorrow or after cuts to find someone to compete with CAP.

They DEFINITELY need a veteran safety. Really the last key position they need to fill. Can't go into the season with what they have at safety or this is 2016 all over again.

I don't see another guard being brought in. They've got a bunch of guys that'll be in the mix at LG already. Sirles has experience, Silatolu has started games at LG (not a great option but he has) lot of hype around Dorian Johnson, maybe they give Larsen a look, Moton will be in the mix. I think someone will emerge from that group and grab the LG spot.

I'm way more concerned about the depth at tackle. If Daryl Williams or Matt "speedbump" Kalil go down, the depth behind them is almost non-existent. Bunch of cast offs from other teams practice squads from what I can see. From the Panthers depth chart it looks like Amini Silatolu is being listed as a tackle. So I'd definitely like to see them bring in a veteran tackle because if Amini is starting at LT, Cam is going to die.

Searcy and Colin Jones have been in the league since 2011 and we know how old Adams is. Are you saying they need a veteran or a BETTER veteran?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Watching those throws Drake Maye was making on a dead run threading lasers into tight coverage on the sidelines over and over in that game against the Bills... these people need to go watch that and be honest with themselves.

      why rig the scenario with the "as a passer" tag.   I mean, I assume you do that because Bryce needs help in the argument.  If we are just talking players and no contacts?   I mean, give me Young over Russell Wilson.   That's it.   I'd put him on par w/ Penix, Fields, McCarthy and Rattler,  so that's a wash.  Give me everyone else over Bryce.  And I'm not handicapping the other players as passing only because when you start doing that it's really meaningless.

      McCarthy to date, for sure. That's a very early sample size, however. Russell Wilson is a backup. Not sure Wilson wouldn't be better suited to our offense specifically, but at the bare minimum it's basically a wash. Hurts I would generally disagree with. I do think Hurts is likely to be less than stellar in our offense. Justin Fields - Agree. Fields is a significant threat on the ground but he sees the field as badly or worse than Bryce. And that's with significantly more reps. Spencer Rattler - I honestly thought this would be an easier call that it is. TBH, right now Rattler looks a lot better. Really almost across the board. Kyler - Murray is better. Basically across the board. Not significantly better, mind you. Trevor Lawrence is more debatable than it seems. Low completion percentages, tons of TO's.....he really has been quite bad this year in Jax. He is considerably more talented than Bryce but the results have been marginally better. Tua - Tua is a little more dynamic of a player but he is a TO machine. Tend to agree. Caleb Williams. Not sure on this. Williams is still struggling to be consistent but his upper end is WAY higher than Bryce. He shows it fairlu frequently, as well. Probably would rather be working through Caleb's issues than Bryce. Penix - 100%. This guy stinks. Cam Ward. This is a little tough. Again, far higher ceiling on Ward and he shows flashes but it's been a mess there in Tenn. Probably lean towards Bryce here.
