We have been hearing for years how its all about building around a qb on a rookie contract, but how many superbowls have been won by a qb on a rookie contract in the last twenty years? Last one I can think of seahwaks with Wilson? 

 Because Brady won all of them

Other than the Ravens which team with a young QB is a real power? The Chiefs maybe but their defense is worse than ours.

The other top teams have Brees, Brady, and Wilson..

Yeah I was trying to figure out what he’s talking about...the Texans are a playoff team with Deshaun Watson too I guess? Definitely not a threat to win it all though.

I'd add Houston with Watson, the Colts if Brissett is healthy, Cowboys, Rams, Philly, and maybe Jacksonville if you consider Minshew a starter or not.

Granted, some of those already paid their QB.

I dont think anything is significantly different about that mix.  Some good teams but not really contenders.

I think this year we will see a bit of a changing of the times from the legacies in the last 10 years tbh. Right now you are right that these aren't the best teams in the league, but I'd consider any team that gets to the playoffs to be considered a contender in the NFL. The only real team without a shot at the playoffs here is Jacksonville.

He looks very inconsistent. I think if a talent like Tua falls to us we take it. If not we see how Cam’s health is. If that looks bad we might have Allen and Grier battle it out... Maybe his inconsistencies can be fixed? Who knows?

It is called growing pains.  Even a Troy Aikman had them his first year.  How many games did he win that first year?

Quickest way to contender status is hitting on a young QB.

Comparing us to Saints or Patriots is meaningless because they've had their QB for a very long time.  Those teams are also stacked.

 

Our situation is either take another shot with Cam or get moving on rebuilding.  Yepper already alluded he doesn't want long term mediocrity.  Maybe that means cutting Cam now.

A young, good, cheap QB provides you with the easiest path to being a good team.

As I pointed out in another thread, if Cam gets a deal to stay here he will average about 30M per season, if we are able to draft Tua at around 15, we will pay him 3-4M per season, giving us 25+M to help build around him, every season until year 5.

Does that guarantee you a SB?  No.  Does it give you the best shot at building a contender?  Yes, if you have the correct front office and coaching staff.

It's the bs I knew would eventually take hold. Teams like the 49ers, Colts, Rams or Browns (lol) intentionally tank for 4 years and gather carry over cap space and top 10 draft talent. Get top talent on rookie deals then once your QB is in place spend that carry over space on free agents and keeping your young talent. 

The NFL needs to make the max carry over space $10 million or less.

      Most hated teams

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
