Let us talk Carolina Panthers at Cleveland Browns

Here is a statistical snapshot of these two teams.

Interesting that Chubb and CMC are averaging the same rushing yards per attempt. 

It seems like the Cleveland rankings should be trending upward as they have been playing better since they fired their head coach. 

I won't lie. I am not sure if the Carolina Panthers can win in Cleveland. They are 1-5 on the road. I am not sure they can beat anyone away at all anymore.

On Paper the Panthers look like the better team. But watching the games, we find ways to shoot ourselves in the foot each week. If we can survive the first quarter without giving up a TD, we win. On the road we keep falling behind quickly and having to play catch up.

I am really curious to see what the defense looks like with good play calling. It will tell us in which way Ron Rivera has failed us. 

 

Either he has been the problem all along or Washington has been the problem and Rivera failed to act in a timely manner, costing us the season.

I believe it will be the latter. Rivera is always late to react. Washington should have been demoted after the Steelers game. They would have had 10 days to adjust for the Lions game. I think Mushin Muhammad mentioned that in the Bucs game we had Mike Adams blitz from his safety spot 15 yards away from the line of scrimmage. Washington right now is just button smashing to see what works.

Exactly. Perhaps he should have been calling the defense his whole career as HC. Some coaches are more involved maybe he should have been.

I think we can beat the Browns. Of course, I thought we could beat the Lions, Seahawks and Bucs.

I honestly have to admit that even if we do beat Cleveland, it won't really inspire me that much. Even with their resurgence, they're still not a very good team.

Beating the Saints would be much more encouraging, but the thought of that game makes me cringe right now.

    • Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.  
    • Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO. 
    • Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
