Carolina Panthers

cap space: $16 million

2021 draft positioning: Carolina has the eighth and 39th overall picks

Analysis: The Panthers reportedly offered their first-round pick-plus for Matthew Stafford. That doesn't mean they'll do the same for Wentz, but it's at least evidence they're being aggressive in pursuit of a new signal-caller. The pairing of Wentz and up-and-coming offensive coordinator Joe Brady, who interviewed for the Eagles' head-coaching job a couple weeks back, could be an interesting melding of the minds. Teddy Bridgewater remains under contract in Carolina and is scheduled to make $17 million this season

Dude has a SB ring and $78m (before tax) in his bank account. He's doing fine.

I’m sure he loves wearing that ring and thinking about how daddy Foles won it for him. That would eat my soul if I thought I was a MVP caliber QB

Let me wrap my head around this one...

Trading for an injury plagued former MVP caliber QB a year after cutting an injury plagued ACTUAL MVP QB? Good grief, this would be the very definition of NFL desperation.

Some team will think they can fix Wentz. 

Right or wrong, nobody in the league thinks they can fix Cam, hence the reason he signed for almost nothing last year.

Let's clarify one thing while we're having this discussion...

"In on every deal" doesn't mean we're going to make an offer on every single player that comes available. It just means we're going to check in on all of them.

If we think they have value, we'll evaluate it. If we evaluate and think "not worth it" we'll do nothing. If we see something we like though, we'll make an offer.

And don't get too hung up on  "aggressive" either. Just because we say we're "aggressive" doesn't mean we'll overspend.

Right now I'd say that team might be the Eagles. They hired Nick Sirianni on part because he was connected to Frank Reich.

But if not the Eagles, then possibly Reich himself.

I just don't see it.  The upside on Wentz is when he is good, he is very good.  He could lead a team to a Super Bowl.  But when he is bad, he doesn't deserve to be on the field.  He could lead the same team to a top 10 draft choice, as well. 

I've seen him mentioned most realistically with the Colts, Broncos, and even the Pats.  But they seem to be mentioned with any veteran QB who becomes available.

As comparing him to Stafford, until this year, it would be hard to say the trains they were each engineering had the same horsepower.  The Eagles roster has been consistently better than Detroit's.  If I had to take one of them, I'd take Stafford.  While his upside is probably not as high, his downside has not been as low, and his norm is slightly higher, IMO, and he has been more consistently near that norm.  I'm not even sure we have ever seen Wentz's "norm."

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
