Well, PFF says we signed an average to below average safety (#55) to the 10th most expensive safety contract.

Hurney gonna Hurney.

Thought he played OK last season, not terrible, not awesome.

I'll wait to see how this deal is structured before saying if it's a good, average, or bad signing.

I really do wish that Marty Hurney would learn to let players test FA before signing big deals though.

Wait, only 10 million is guaranteed.

 

What are y'all crying about?

Just wait for the classic Hurney "restructure"...

I'm still trying to figure out why he touched Matt Kalil's contract last year. I still haven't figured out how that did anything for us other than out us on tbe hook for more guaranteed money which is just going to cause us to take a bigger hit when we make him a post June 1st cut.

First of all an averaged amount doesn't tell you what he counts this year. I bet his cap this year is around 5 million. Which makes him a bargain. Second the 10 is guaranteed not all 22 which means we won't have a ton of dead money going forward. Third the safety market was an anomaly last year and wasn't going to be cheap going forward. Lastly he is more than just average particularly as a strong safety. Honestly he was playing out of position as a free safety. His much better position is strong safety.

      I must apologize, my sarcasm at times doesnt translate well in text form lol. At this point I would welcome us signing him, Trey Lance, trading for Jameis Winston, asking about Deshaun Watson and playing phone tag with Tom Brady before I ever fully entertain a season of Bryce Young being the defacto Starting Quarterback of the Panthers.

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By beckersteen · Posted

      We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.
