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.

      Good film breakdown of Young. Good and bad. Film examples

      Bryce isn't a risk-taking gunslinger.  That's just QB DNA.  No one has ever said that is what we were drafting when we went that route.  That's my point.  That's not Bryce. Can you make Alex Smith throw deep? Sure.  He will occasionally.  In the reverse, can you ask Brett Favre to just take the easy layups? Sure.  He can in moments.  But in the end, they are what they are.  as I have said, Canales probably could win more games with PJ Walker.  And Bryce is a better overall QB than PJ.  PJ Walker would also have much worse games mixed in that Bryce would.

      From what i see, Canales offense requires a QB that is willing to take chances to maximize the offense. XL is also the kind of receiver that needs a qb to be risky to bring out his full potential. Its just a matter of if Bryce is gonna be that QB.

      Baker just played how Baker played.... everywhere but here. He is a risk taking gunslinger.  Always has been.  And last year was asked to be what he was.   Geno Smith was the best deep ball passer in the NFL his comeback season.  Wasn't even close that year.  Again, that's the type passer Canales has always been around in the offenses he has been part of.  The pass game that compliments the stubborn run is the deep chunk play pass game.   And that was his first investment with XL.  My continued point, is the same as going into last season.  It's a bad marriage going in.  The QB doesn't fit the scheme.  Again.  Carrol/Fox/Ron....all paired up their boring football with risk taking QBs.  And again, I'm fine if that is where we are going.  It's not my preference but that's not my argument.  I'm saying if we are doing that, we need a QB that matches it.
