Overthecap says kk has a 20 mil cap hit for 2021. He really needs to be cut badly.

We have over 57 million dollars on the books for 2021 on three players : Teddy Bridgewater , Shaq Thompson, KK Short. Jesus christ.... Now I'm starting to understand why Hurney firing is long overdue

Depends on what happens in the draft.

If we get Sewell somehow, and tag Moton, we could be in decent shape with a mid level G.

If we get a QB, I have absolutely no idea currently.  I do know that I would focus HARD on O Line evaluations, including IOL for the mid round selections.

I do fear that with a better O Line, and Teddy back under Center again, we could very well be picking around 12-18 next season, making it tougher to snag that QB of the future.

Oline takes time and draft investment to get right. Something the Panthers never understood since Gross retired.

Honestly it doesn’t matter what they do 5 starting positions (4 if they resign Moton) isn’t going to be ‘fixed’ in an single off season. Can’t all of a sudden address a decade overdue issue like an entire oline like it’s a skill position.
 

Going to be a couple drafts before it shapes up.

We aren't getting Sewell at 8 unless there's a early run on QBs and he somehow drops to us .

I think we go after no less than two OL in the draft.  OT, more specifically, LT and a center with guard capabilities. Low-ball some of these Miller, Schofied, Reed types also.  Some will balk and move on, others will want the employment.  Draft the OT in the second round and then center in rounds 4 or 5 to sit/learn behind Paradis for a year.  Re-sign Moton obvisouly.

June 1 cut and we save 9M, and can spread 5.5 over the following two seasons.

He should have never played a down for the Panthers in 2020.

Dumbass move.

It doesn't have to be perfect . Resigning Moton and having Paradis is already 2 out of 5. Draft a really good started and that's 3/5 . You don't have to have 5/5 all star pro bowlers on the oline to make it a good oline overall

I’d honestly just tag moton back to back then let him walk while drafting replacements. I don’t see us being a playoff team next year and probably not the year after. It could happen because our schedule looks favorable next year  but I think it’s gonna be year 4 of Rhule before we are a playoff team if we draft well enough and get an effective qb.  People are really going to turn on Matt if I had to guess. But this franchise is a mess.

If they went dline in first two picks last year they can go oline twice in the first three rounds this year imo.

Some more defensive help at mlb CB and some depth pieces would be nice but I think it's time to finally stop ignoring the oline

Unlikely you draft a really good starter for the oline. Usually takes time to develop. The oline is special because you have to draft guys that gel together, not just good, single players. So it takes time.

I don’t count Paradis...he is ungodly awful and shouldn’t be starting. Plus he has one year left. Once again the Panthers are in the position to address this BEFORE it becomes an (even more) glaring hole and they need to.

They’ve had what...6?8? Starting LTs since Oher? That has to lead to league. I’m clearly not talking about all pros everywhere...even an average LT isn’t easy to find.

Point is, the Panthers have dug a hole and won’t be fielding a competing oline for a couple years.

      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.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      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.
