Honestly had a good season before getting hurt, but given his age and injury history, it's the right move

It does leave yet another hole

One hole closer to Trevor Lawrence...

Not with Cam Newton on the roster. I know we joke about how bad our overall team is, but this is Cam Newton at QB not Kyle Allen. No way we have the worst record with Cam at QB. Cam is competitive he will not be playing to lose.

Pretty much. Really the offense should get better next year. Yes our defense might be trash but if we finally transition to an offensive team then it might not matter as much.

When Cam is traded that will seal the deal...

Lol. You guys are so far off. We’d have been around .500 last year even with the the 2015 offense. Our defense is far worse than people want to admit and we will lose a ton. Our 2015 offense with a defense that was #1 in takeaways score 500 points. We gave up 470 points last year and we lost Kuechly and likely lose Bradberry, Poe, McCoy, Butler, Boston, Addison and Irvin. That’s half our secondary and more than half our sacks. Our pass rush and pass defense weren’t even our weak points. We likely are going to be the worst defense if we are trying to go for comp picks and to save cap space for the future years of the rebuild.

      Thomas Fletcher Didn’t Make It, But These Four Did

      Seriously? A CB who missed all that time on his rookie deal and was also a top 10 pick when the guys picked right before and after have been studs. A RB our GMs tried to replace with FAs and 2nd rounders and two backup level players is one of the best drafts we’ve ever had? I’d argue that the 2011/2012 drafts were better even with just Cam and Luke/Norman. Here’s the drafts I think were better: 2017, maybe 2018, 2015, 2013, 2011, 2012, 2008, 2007, 2001, 2002 (just Pepp) I’m hoping 2025 is way better as well. Honestly, we’ve kind of sucked at drafting overall and that’s the only reason you can even remotely call Horn, Hubbard, Tremble and BC a good draft let alone one of our best ever. Good teams that draft well would laugh at that as a great draft. If you want to look at say the 2023 Lions draft, you’d get 4 stud/above average/average starters not just 3 replaceable starters/backups and a top 10 pick that missed half his games. That’s a draft that helps turn a team into a playoff team. Our record since our 2021 draft is 19-49. A best ever draft doesn’t go 19-49.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      I remember when football was great.    Wasn't this century.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Bingo. You can't pay that type of player elite franchise QB money. That average starter type player can excel when he's surrounded by top shelf talent in a great offensive system but pay him elite QB money and you're going to really struggle to surround him with the type of talent you need to carry him. You pay those elite franchise QBs because they can carry your roster. You can't pay guys who have to be carried. Bryce showed glimpses down the stretch last year. I really hope he keeps building on that. But before we back up the Brinks truck he needs to show that he's the type of QB who can lift up and carry the offense because when you pay those guys that's what they're gonna have to do.
