notice teams that actually win consistently are silent 

 

 

aka pats

 

sont overpay for FAs. period. 

Why do people keep saying this? The Eagles won the Super Bowl 2 years ago after spending hugely. 3 of the top 4 NFC/AFC championship teams spent highly in FAs last year. 

Everyone keeps bringing up the Pats as if that’s the benchmark in which teams should follow. Let’s do that. Let’s start off by hiring arguably the best coach of all-time and arguably the best QB of all-time. That’ll be easy.

The Pats have four huge advantages. One, arguably the greatest coach of all-time. Two, arguably the greatest QB of all-time. Three, their division is straight trash year in and year out. Four, that arguably greatest of all-time QB is married to a supermodel who is worth even more than he is so he always gives the Pats a VERY cap-friendly deal so they can put a team together around him. He's paid like a middle of the pack starting QB.

I've always said that if you have a coach and you have a QB, you can consistently compete. Every other position is basically a "nice to have". You don't have to have a shutdown CB or an elite WR or a franchise LT, but you do have to have a QB and a coach.

Good teams don't need much free agency help.

 

Are the Panthers a good team?

It's tough having a lot of holes and not much cap room to work with. It's even tougher when you keep dead weight on the roster instead of freeing up that cap space because you're scared of "creating holes". The holes already exist. Taking big cap hits on JAGs doesn't change that.

Absolutely, not. What I’m saying is, we CONSTANTLY never improve our team in free agency. Every year like clockwork. There were guys out there that could really help this team this year and in the past. To me, there’s no point in signing free agents right now. Our roster has massive holes and stupid contracts on not great players. We’re in re-build mode and will be for the next 3 years at least. We should’ve been super aggressive in free-agency around 2015-2017 to take this team over the edge. That time has passed now. 

Losing Davis, Peppers, Kalil, Love, Funchess, Williams hurts. All of those were starters and now need replaced. You can’t do that in one season, especially if you don’t sign any FAs. 

We constantly overpay our guys and majority don’t live up to the contract. Take a look at the Packers.... They let go of one of the biggest leaders on their defense in Matthews, replace him with a younger better player, add another awesome DE and DB, sign a legit guard to protect Rodgers and also have two 1st round picks. That team will me MARGANILLY improves over next year. Us? We’ll be worse.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
