Let's say you're James Bradberry or Shaq Thompson. Does change lead to "change" for you too?

Us deciding to keep Hurney last season likely ended our ability to sign Bradberry to a cheap"er" deal.  It's one of the many reasons I wanted him gone.

Don't know who that would be. Maybe someone on the coaching staff? Aside from Mills and Washington I don't know...

Greg referenced 4 players and 2 coaches.   An emotional day for Ron so maybe the numbers are just wrong.  Several guys since 2012 though.

If it's a player, it can't be a draft pick because nobody from the 2011 draft lasted more than a couple of years in the league except Newton.

well, Greg wasn't a draft pick either.  Just a reference to players in general. 

JJ, Greg, and Cam are the 3 known.  Would have to be someone similar to JJ I would think that doesn't show on the stat sheet.

Unfortunately this is the truth and has been for a long time 

We were content with being average as long as we had a nice and pleasant community. 

It's not that I want a bunch of divas. It's just that I'm tired of not being a consistent winning team because the focus is on having a bunch of content and pleasant people on the team who go out on their own terms.

You are on a roll today, my friend.  I agree totally.

To be clear, I didn't really think Olsen was going to be back next year anyway, but reading that comment makes me think it's even less likely than it would have been.

The question that comes to mind now is how many other veterans or free agents might decide they're not necessarily on board for a rebuild.

I thinl many pf them are not on board. I also think that many of them will be canned, even if they want to stay. That is all part of rebuilding. You basically get rid of all of your expensive players over the age of 25.

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Bryce and Dave will determine how many games this team wins next year. It’s not on the WRs. The RBs. LBs. This is about 2 things: 1. Can Bryce continue to come up big in the few key downs that decide most games?  2. Can Canales evolve his play calling to counter punch like the big boys do. Half time adjustments.  teams that score 30+ points on the regular win more games than not. That’s on Bryce and Dave. The offense is top 10 at every position group, save for TE and QB. A baller TE is gravy but not crucial when the receivers are dudes.  The defense is the defense. It’ll be better this season, hopefully by a large margin, but Dave/Bryce is really where it’s at.

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      Normally I'd wholeheartedly agree with this. But I feel like teams figured out this offense after the Raiders game. Bryce was so inept the first 2 games that we couldn't really even run the offense. Dalton's first game showed what we had. But after that game, coverages got a lot tighter and windows were smaller. When Bryce came back in, his ability to extend plays made a big difference. It's really difficult to stop a QB that can beat/escape 1on1 tacklers. It puts a lot of pressure on the defense when you blitz. And he was completing throws in tight coverage with anticipation. Point being Bryce wasn't throwing to wide open receivers that were schemed open by the offense. Occasionally yes. But not often.

      With the additions we've made to our roster combined with the state of the division and the conference as a whole there is no excuse for this team not to make a legitimate push for 8-9 wins. Anything less is honestly inexcusable. There will be no more free passes for being a doormat in this iteration of the league where even mediocre teams are competing for playoff spots.
