Only 7 people in the entire history of the NFL have more all-purpose yards than Smitty. SEVEN. Only 7 people have more career receiving yards. ONLY SEVEN.

Everyone who has ever won the triple crown has done so with a Hall of Fame QB. He did it with Delhomme on a team that didn't pass.

Everyone dismisses longevity. The best ability is availability and all that. You can project out and imagine a Hall of Fame career for Kuech .... or you could just look at the real existing true HoF career of Steve Smith. his 05 and 08 season were ranked as the best 2 seasons in modern history for a WR based on Yards per pass attempt which is essentially WR version of QBR . I honestly believe Steve Smith is far and away the best Panther of all time. I don't have peppers there because although he is one of the best ever and accumulated great stats, I never saw him take over games the way Smith did. Peppers usually felt like the guy who put the nail in the coffin, but Smith was single handedly our entire offense for years. Peppers often had other great players around him.

It helped him having Muhsin Muhammad but yeah, no doubt...

It's very simple. Julius Peppers and Luke Kuechly are first ballot HOFers (Peppers is a lock, Luke mayyy wait a year or two). However, Steve Smith is never getting in the HOF.

Muhammad? Really. I love Moose to death but he had one great season for us when Smitty went down. And then left to Chicago and Smitty was still balling out of his mind.

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

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
