Ron always talks about how he wants to see consistency when he talks about young players. But if you are completely inconsistent as a VET it is just fine. 

In todays salary cap era a coach has to find the young players that can step in at low salaries and play above their contract.  Ron refuses to do that. He just stays with the mediocre Vets Who play well below the cap value. And is the downfall of this team. 

I like RR but this is starting to get on my last nerve.

Rod Johnson...How did that guy survive high school?

David Newton says Silatolu will likely get the start at right tackle.

That news would come from David Newton.  My least favorite person reporting on my other least favorite person.  F em both.

I was there In person bud. And also read the recaps.  Care to argue some more?  Read the recaps.  Williams gave up 2 sacks.

pass protection has never been his strength, hes a Mauler RT. Amini gave up a 3rd sack and we rushed for -2 yards after Daryl went out. Daryl was destroying Lawrence in the run game.

The Panthers probably need to think about trading for a tackle. My target would be DJ Humphries, from the Arizona Cardinals, who are going nowhere and need picks to build a future. Make the pick a conditional 3rd and a 5th rounder and stick him at LT, moving Moton over to the right side. Humphries can stick even when Kalil returns and is young enough to stick there for a few years.

The current "window" closes when TD, Greg Olsen and Pep leave the team, which is likely at the end of this year. I don't like trading picks often, but believe we have an opportunity here.

      Legette for Coleman?

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      IDK how we go from good player for good player trade suggestions to dumpster fire bust for dumpster fire bust trade suggestions. Even though Coleman is better, he has a littany of motivation and discipline issues. Do we think milquetoast Dave is gonna fix that??

      Recommended free agent targets from roppster report

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I am not worried about the contracts because any/all can be jettisoned in 2027 with minimal ramifications. I would like to land him because you rarely ever see an elite, 25 year old center hit free agency, this is a very weak center class and Mays is a bottom quarter starting center(love him as a utility IOL).  Ideally this offseason we solve center and draft a high caliber RT/LT to fill the gap for Ikey. Then next offseason, pending outcome of the rookie and Ikey's recovery you can jettison Hunt(VASTLY overpaid), make a determination on Ikey's ability to play(perhaps extend him on the franchise tag as a "prove it"), and let the Ikey/rookien situation dictate Moton. He can be extended on a LOWER cost deal or jettisoned if Ikey and the rookie can take the reigns. Either way, both OT's will need to be resolved, we need an actually starting caliber NFL center again and we need to get rid of one of these OG's. Hunt is the obvious choice as Lewis is substantially better across the board and cheaper.

      I’m just not impressed with these hires/openings

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That's not a thing. If they can't find someone, they either aren't actually trying or it's a poisonous job and no one will.  Yes, plenty of them have gone with whom they wanted already. That's not really the point of the rule. It's to force teams to provide opportunities. It has worked well because coaches that wouldn't normally be given interviews are given that experience and teams have also been impressed enough to either offer them in the future or pass positive comments along to other NFL owners/front office personnel.  Also, we are over 20 years into the Rooney Rule. This isn't some new thing teams have to navigate.
