Let me ask you guys, what makes you think Stafford would want to come to the Panthers?

I just don't see it

He is from the south.  College ball at GA.  The Carolinas are nicer than Detroit.   No snow. Cost of living is good. 

and we had 3 WRs go over 1000 total yards last year...and CMC.  No team will offer a better set of skill position players. 

that’s the pitch.

Let's see

Lions:

Just now blowing up and starting over with a new regime.  

Little to no weapons

Defense, no young core pieces that have stood out.

 

Panthers:

Already began the rebuild 

#1 RB in the NFL

#2 WR that's better than Detroit's #1

3 key young core defensive players under the age of 23

I agree that we are one year ahead of Detroit, but I would argue that Robby is on par with Golladay, and the latter is only 27. CMC might be RB1, but Swift will be a top-8 back in the NFL very, very soon...the kid is dangerous.

If I'm Matt Stafford, Carolina isn't moving the needle for me when there's teams like Pittsburgh, Indy, and SF that are so much closer than us.

If I were Stafford, I would be less than impressed

Golladay is a FA and may not even be back in Detroit next season.

 

Its Hard to project Swift to be a top 8 back soon.  He wasnt even a top 3 back from his own rookie class this season when healthy.  So needs to pump the brakes there

Ok. Do the pitch of a team we are competing with.   Outside of SF and Pitt...we got a decent offer and I don’t know how thirsty they really are for a QB.

We weren’t very close heading into the 2003 season or the 2015 season.  No one we calling that. 

this mantra of we are way off still doesn’t fly.  We are missing QB play.   You get that and you can bandaid the holes on D.  

Tampa went out and bought the best roster.  The rest of the NFC? They all got issues on their rosters too.

If we're talking teams on the cusp/playoff ready without a QB, then you look to LAR, Indy & NO.  There's no way in hell they're shipping him to Chicago.

Otherwise, we're in a much better spot than WFT, Philly, NE, HOU, DEN.  Though if I had to guess, think Denver gets him at the end of the day.  He's very much the type they look for.

I think a team like Indy would be in the catbird seat for Stafford’s services. They’re a QB shy of being in the playoffs again and Reich is a QB’s guru and good HC.

Indy?  went 11-5 and QB just retired.  Patriots? WFT?  Denver?

There are plenty of teams you could see Stafford as a good upgrade and from the outside looking in we don't look as appealing as a lot of the fans on this forum think.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By Basbear · Posted

      Im not firm on many things football, but this statement or belief or strategy I am 100% for. Full Offseason the goal is to make the playoffs. Week 1, 1000% I want to win. Weeks 2-10,  1000% I want to win. Until the math stats 0.000000000% chance at NO playoffs, I want to win. *Once* there's no chance at the playoffs, I want to 100% lose every game until the end. You are still loser at 2-15 or 5-12, I want to never lose like this again. I want the best value for losing and suffering. Again the only goal is playoffs. Once in the playoffs anything can happen, I want to win the whole dam show. If you happen to lose in the first round, that's perfectly fine and lets work hard this upcoming off-season to get another chance to make them.  This is the ONLY way to play in the NFL. Anyone not understanding this method of strategy, please call your doctor for a visit...

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Purdy's good but at the end of the day you're paying first class money for a business class seat.  It's a big problem with the salary cap.  QBs take most of it whether they are Pat Mahomes or not.

      Purdy saved the 49ers from that three 1st picks for Trey Lance. People forget that. People also forget he should have MVP votes for the 23 season. He's been any where from the 8th(his best/23) to 14th ranked QB, he's legit and guys around top 10 get paid as QBs.....guys in 28th get paid too, he's 4x the QB Trevor Lawrence is and better than BY by miles as well...even without CMC, Samuel(whos a RB playing WE), and half the OL.    *BUT*    You non-believers missed this ultra important mistake that honestly made me reconsider all the praise I gave him. https://www.si.com/nfl/49ers/news/49ers-qb-brock-purdy-throws-blind-40-percent   That's is damming to my case and reset my thinking of his. That's nuclear scary now and I need some time.  too honest for me to overlook.
