Nah. We need to draft a guy still. Roy is a backup, Kerr is a journeyman that will need to get replaced eventually. Still are gonna need 2-3 DT's in the next two offseasons.

To me Roy is a young version of Kerr. Its close to only one should stay.

WTF is wrong with you? KK was meh in 2018 and missed most of the last two years. He looked like poo in the time he played this year. He got easily moved out of the way.

We cannot get rid of his $11M in dead cap. Do not pull a Marty and make it worse like he did with the restructuring. He did that and decided to keep Short and look what happened.

Listen, there’s a 10x bigger chance he’s lost for the season yet again than he regains his stellar play at 32 after two missed seasons due to his shoulder.

I just don’t get this line of thinking. The D got better after he got hurt. Kerr played better than Short yet here we have another terrible thought to keep pushing money down the drain. Take the $11M cap hit we can’t change because it’s money already paid to Short. Stop giving him new money that will now be added to the cap for play not better than minimum salary guys. We already lost $13M more in 2020, don’t compound it giving him another $20M more.

Take your hat off and I’ll put the baseball bat to the side of your head. Kerr was paid $1.5M and will get $1.5M this year and you honestly think Short should get 10x that spread over 4 years? GD it, you deserve the bat to your head. Hey, guys let’s spend $20M on Short so we can’t afford to resign Chinn and Brown. MF.

If Short is on this team in 2021, I’ll become a Jags fan just to root on Lawrence.

Nice throat punch. Its more spit balling and putting it on the forum. I knew theres a huge push back on keeping KK. Its just a way to keep KK a panther at a fair rate, especially if it was important to him. 6 million is nothing for a starting DT with his resume. I already stated 0% chance, firing up the forum folks. Without any dead cap, I think 6 million is a good deal for all. Smart move is post june cut......but he could even lower base some and still do a deal like I stated....heeeehe )

Well they are both relatively cheap. Obviously the rookie deal is better.

Thats me, its a toss of the same coin. One is better currently, but the is other is younger and more years. Before Kerr got convid, he was looking like a legit starter/top-rotation player. Hes a great locker guy, hes popular among his peers. Plus I like to have a few of those types- happy, hard-working, earned everything types on the roster. 

I like Roy, hes on the same path as kerr imo. Its a tad redundant with two that play the same spot. I still want a legit starting DT next to brown. Who knows Roy could show up to camp ready for that role and force the panthers to start him. Roy plays hurt, Rhule and me love that trait.

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      By d-dave · Posted

      The problem that Bryce faces is his lack of prototypical tools.  He's not the tall, strong armed mobile QB that tends to get drafted first overall.  His game is not played in underwear on a practice field.  His best asset are his intangibles.  They aren't sexy like a cannon arm or a fast 40 yard dash. OK, so we took the lesser athlete.  Bryce put up a pretty bad season with a bad team around him.  The coaching staff, for all it's platitudes, sucked.  They made sure Bryce could run a huddle, but didn't help him get better as a player.  Bad choice. Compare that to what other teams did to their Rookies:  they put them in position to succeed with better personnel and better play calling.  Sure, there are physical differences which are going to affect the outcomes, but you can't change it. Am I trying to ride to the defense of Bryce?  Only a little.  He's my favorite team's QB, and I believe in him.  Now, he's got this year to show that he's "the No. 1 for a reason" (Thanks CJ Stroud).  Will he, won't he?  I don't know at all.  That's on the D&D crew to put Bryce is position to play well.  Running the ball is going to make things a lot easier for Bryce.  Does that discount his success if he plays well?  For some of y'all it will.  Some of y'all just don't like Bryce, like he stole you DoorDash or something. Regardless, let's see what happens in 2024.  If Bryce stinks it up, then we're going back to the QB well again.

      we may think we know, but we don't know. we won't know what effect upgrades on the OL, coaching staff, and WR room will have. we don't know what scheme canales is going to put together. we don't know a lot of things.  that's why we play the games...to see what shakes out. plenty of reasons to think Bryce is limited this year...again. Plenty of reasons to see an improvement in his play.

      He did not elevate the players around him, but they de-elevated their QB.  A QB like Bryce needs a system, a strong OL, a Running game, and WRs that can get open.  Call him a manager at best, but so is a point guard.  That is all we should need.  He is smart enough to grow into a very effective player.  I once saw a Coach talking about the OL--i forget who it was Schottenheimer comes to mind--and he said, you can succeed if you have one weak link on the OL.  If you get 2 weak links, success comes 10x harder.  If you get three weak links, your season is over.  Your QB is injured, and you are unemployed (paraphrasing).  I would say that we had 4 weak links (Icky does not get a pass) and a RB who was not good at pass blocking. I am not saying the Bryce is the answer at QB--but I am saying we don't know yet. I know QBs (college) and when the OL sucks, they collapse mentally over time.  That is what we saw--a QB who had never played without the advantage.
