Best offseasons, per Gil Brandt


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

I'm not so much looking to compare the Panthers offseason here because this isn't exactly a pool of unbiased people on that topic.

More interested in a discussion of whether he's right or if there are other teams that can be said to have done better.

Not sure about those teams but the Panthers have had their best offseason in years.

-refresh and improvement at receiver

-added a 1,000 yard rusher

-much improved secondary

-resigned Pep

-added Poe

Vikings made a mistake paying Cousins but they could be better with him this year (though losing Shurmur as OC hurt). Not a big fan of the Browns' draft, overpaying (and trading for) Landry or trading for Tyrod. Giants I think did pretty well but Solder was overpaid (better than Matt Kalil, Getty, but still overpaid) and I really think they should've gone QB at #2 as this was their only opportunity and Eli sucks but Barkley is definitely a beast and worthy of a top pick so that's not too bad. 

 

I'm not sure I'd put any of those 3 in the top 5 of best offseasons...

I’m not arguing with you, but u really think our secondary is much improved?

im surprised to see that the panthers weren’t on that list. I wasn’t blown away with some of their draft choices (did love the first rounder) but I think all in all, especially considering the change in ownership, we had a really good offseason. Hopefully a few more tweaks can be made here and there.

The Browns have hade the "best offseason" the past seven years.

To make that list you had to add a veteran player it seems. Browns added two Giants the same Vikings added a vet qb, I believe we would have signed Reid we probably would have. But even tho I'm onboard with Searcy he's been jag that was before he drunk that Ron revitalization juice we keep for players like him M Oher J Allen etc Kurt C stopped drinking it last season we saw how that worked out.

Dontari Poe isn't a veteran player?

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
