Smart moves....

What the Panthers are doing in signing all these "no name players" to 1 and 2 year deals is to give us total freedom in the upcoming draft. Then, if they play good, we keep them. If not, we draft those positions next year. But going into the draft NOT needing 1 position leads to drafting BPA or trading down when some team needs our pick and we get more picks to drop. 

If people complain they are "no names" think of draft picks, they haven't done anything and most are a crap shoot. Taking a vet who's young with some upside is very smart. Even if half the new signings work out, we did great. 

I like what the Panthers are doing. Don't give a bunch of money to one guy and everything revolves around them. Don't even think about it when he gets hurt. Have a team with a lot of really good players but no superstars. Even the depth will be strong. Positive moves going forward.

Overview

The Panthers are currently going through a major roster re-shuffling, one that so far hasn’t netted many positives. However, Rhule has a vision that vision should lead to wins. He did it at Temple, he did it at Baylor, and it’s why he was named the head coach of the Panthers. It may take some time, and the Panthers might not be a great team next year, but if they can create this roster in the way Rhule envisions, they could be a contending team as soon as Rhule’s second season.

The issue is we are making rebuild moves while other moves look like we are trying to compete. I still don’t understand trading Turner for a one year, more expensive rental, rather than getting draft picks. We are signing no name players but still have massive holes at 2 guard spots, DT, DE, WLB, 2 corner sports, and a LOT of depth. I  really can’t think of a single move that we have made that I would consider “smart”.

It's the only thing you can do when you when you are tearing down in rebuilding your roster. Signing big names is pointless and defeats the purpose right now. 5 year time line. Not even started year 1. No reason to sign big names until we are ready to go for it and win big

We only have one DT on the roster and he's over 30 years old and coming off of a season ending injury.

Well, I lied. We have two. The other is Woodrow Hamilton. He's appeared in two games in his career, both of those games were back in 2016.

just you wait until tomorrow when Marty "major moves" Hurney signs Timmy Jernigan and Mike Daniels

So why let your player go for zero return when rebuilding? If you are tearing down and rebuilding the roster wouldn’t you load up on draft picks? We let a 26 year old 5x pro bowl guard go for...a one year rental at tackle thats more expensive and 32 years old. We let a 30 year old MVP QB go for nothing because we screwed up the situation so bad. We are going to end up not even getting a 6th round pick for him. We let Reid go for nothing. I love the team and have no problem with a total rebuild but we are not being very smart on loading up on picks. Hell ATLANTA got a 2nd round pick for a 30 year old wr3 in Sanu. We are letting our talent go for nothing and getting no comp picks in return.

I've always thought it was smarter to trade back and accumulate as many 2nd and 3rd round picks as possible and then doing BPA over and over.  After a couple of years, you're deep at every position with no one taking up huge amounts of space.  If they bust, so what you have tons of other players.  Busting on a 3rd rounder is easier to handle than a 1st rounder.  And while you think you may lose out on those "blue chip" players in reality they bust just as often and many times 2nd and 3rd rounders turn out to be the real blue chips.

The moves the Panthers have made this offseason,  besides Teddy Bridgewater,  have all been quite conservative deals on low-cost players on 'prove it deals' with the upside a young rebuilding team can take a gamble on. They are not in a place to go throw top-dollar at high-end free agents until their dead cap clears and once they have a better idea of where their trajectory is as an organization. We need to keep in mind that Christian McCaffrey will need to be paid in the near future as well.

Rhule undoubtedly turned college programs around. My biggest concern is that despite those turnarounds, his teams still didn't have success against good teams. In 7 seasons as a college coach, he went a combined 2-17 against ranked top 25 competition - and those two wins weren't exactly against traditional powerhouses, they were against an at the time #20 Navy and an at the time #21 East Carolina. There aren't any Vanderbilts or Texas Christians to play in the NFL. The worst team in a league of 32 is still the equivalent of a borderline top 25 team in the NCAA.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
