If we cut Burris, Thomas and Jansen how much money does that save us for this year? I would think if a good safety becomes available Burris could possibly get cut.

Burris might not be great, but I'm not sure I like the idea of rolling with what's behind him.

Won't claim to have looked, but from what I understand his contract isn't all that expensive.

Im just thinking to cut him if a better safety becomes available after cuts... As of now, I agree you have to keep him. Im just thinking if we let those 3 go, then you wouldn't hardly have to dip into the 24 million to sign a safety and can roll that over.

Panthers are pretty big on Sam Franklin

Well, let's see what he's got because Burris sucks.

Curious to see how these OL musical chairs end up getting sorted out. I just want us to field a decent OL. I didn't want Darnold, but he's here and we need to give him a fair chance to succeed so that we know if we need to be QB shopping again next off-season.

That's a gamble. 

I'd add that while the team is always looking to win, I don't think this season is what you'd call their "target season" for winning big.

I would think it’s some what expected with a young QB in a new offense. Hell Brady looked rough early in Tampa (relatively speaking). He started off with a QBR of 40.3 against the Saints in week 1, 44 against us in Week 2.

Brady really did look rough the first few weeks of the season.  In that case, I think Arians adjusted the offense more than Brady acclimated though. It looked different to me later in the season and post season.

Hopefully we'll do something similar finding what works well for our players.

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By CRA · Posted

      I mean, poster also said Young or Mahomes, it would have made no difference.  If there was way to actually test that hypothetical, I would sell every belonging I have and wager that Mahomes would indeed yield different results.  Mahomes automatically changes the D coverages.  He automatically changes the threats.  He attacks and threatens a field different vastly different.   We have seen good QBs and great QBs play behind horrific OLs in a single season....and they don't default into being the worst team in the NFL.  Frank Reich was old, stubborn and not creative enough to deal with an anomaly QB like Bryce.  The best QB in the NFL wouldn't be handicapping Frank, they would be enhancing Frank.  Starting week 1, Frank didn't even trust Bryce with basics....Frank gave him I what I feel comfortable with you being able to do offense.  Which took throws and plays off the table because Bryce couldn't do early on what a bad vet in Dalton could.  Mahomes would not yield the same results.

      All I have to say to this really, is it sounds nice and downgrades Stroud to make Young look better is more like what this take does. Look at the WR numbers the year before and then the year with Stroud. He made them better, not the other way around. That’s my opinion. I appreciate you designating that it was yours. Many state these things as facts.

      but what if.....and here me out....the pro Bryce Young stuff was coming from people under Fitterer.  You know, the people who are employed to feed him that input.  And they happen to all still be employed here.  when Rhule was fired I desperately wanted Fitterer fired.  It set things up for Fitterer to be the sacrificial lamb the next time things went poorly....every time we move on from a disaster, we are retaining a heavy % of the folks who helped bring the disaster we are "moving on from".  Everyone argued Fitterer probably could be great and it was all Rhule.  We are just repeating the same stuff to a degree IMO.   Panthers needed a clean slate post Rhule era.  Needed another post Frank era.  Things were just too bad or too dysfunctional IMO to be salvaging so much.   We keep failing to do that.
