It was so strange when we drafted Grier with the way Allen looked last season. I guess Grier is going to be our long term project with a supposedly higher ceiling. Let's hope anyway.

They went with best player available, I was saying it all along that we know Allen is good.  It was extra insurance because we want to make a playoff run this year so we need to be extra deep.

Good piece.  I hadn't heard that about Robinson, and I'm baffled as well.  When you have four guys like Samuel, Moore, Wright and Hogan . . . why do we even need him.  I get it.  We needed to see some of the guys pan out, but seriously, those four look like locks at this point.  That leaves one or two spots and we know how much Rivera loves him some Torrey Smith.  After the performance of Godwin in the return game . . . I just don't know if anyone else even has a chance.  Heck, I'd even back Levrone over Robinson at this point since Levrone has a bit more size than most of our rostered receivers.

Agreed.  No offense to Cam, but if we'd benched him when the shoulder started to fail, we probably would have made the playoffs.  Granted we would have lost early, but Cam's injury led to him being a liability.  We didn't bench him because we had no faith in the backups.  Getting a solid QB in the draft was necessary given Cam's injury history.  You just can't roll the dice on a guy like Kyle Allen, even if he's had flashes.

Great write up -- my unimportant two cents?  Proofread your bro's work... there are a handful of sentences missing prepositions and the word "nickle/nickel" is spelled inconsistently.  It matters not here, but as y'all are fighting for national exposure, don't let these minor things be used against y'all -- your work really is good and it reflects how much effort you put into it.

 I’ll go back and take a look. I appreciate you bringing that up, I honestly was half awake when I pieced together the graphics for it, that’s all me for missing a few grammar gags. 

Honestly, if it’s missing an occasional preposition, I’m not too worried about that. The way he had it written up to begin with was just bullet points. Stylistically, I agree with you. I wanted things to look clean. No feedback is bad brother.

 

But yes, nickel.

Let be real here.  We are not making a playoff run if Allen or Grier are playing any sort of extended snaps this season.

Allen played 4 quarters of football total over two games. Yeah he looked Okay, but you can't tell me with a straight face that rolling with that unknown of a commodity would have been the best move for our backup situation moving forward. 

It made sense to draft a guy with upside for the first time in a decade and let the competition begin.

From reports from Camp, it seems like Allen has been improving over his rookie year, where he was undrafted and wasn't brought on to the team until midway through the season - Good on him. I'm just glad we didn't sit on our hands and actually provided some depth at QB.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
