When healthy, it's very possible - maybe even likely - we have the best cornerback room in the NFL.

If the opponents want to put two WR's on the field?  Fine.  Our CB's won't get winded.

You want to go four wide?  Fine.  Jaycee, Stephon, CJ, Donte.  Good luck.  Oh, and Chinn over the top.

That's if we can pay both Gilmore and Jackson...

Paying a 32 year old Gilmore a big deal is a lot less likely than just extending Donte for maybe even half of what Gilmore wants. I can easily see Donte, CJ and Horn starting next year. I honestly don’t think we’ll pay Gilmore unless he gives us a huge hometown discount and that’s not likely. I think Gilmore is more than happy to have a year at home with family, show he’s still got it (easier with some pressure) and then get paid and retire back here. 

Yeah Djax is not gonna settle for "half of what Gilmore wants"

Explain to me how this is "win now" mode when the O-line is literally the worst part of this team and the major fact of the woe's this offense has had AND the major reason we lost to Dallas? This line isn't going to hold up the whole season. 

Tell me how getting a 31 year old CB is Win now mode? Like, what am I missing here. 

Our offense is ranked 8th in passing, 17th in rushing and 13th in scoring. The offense hasn’t had “woes” 

 

the reason we lost to Dallas is because we couldn’t stop the run and get Dallas off the field.

    • You're not understanding what I'm saying. I'm saying that truly elite players will always have a market because they're elite difference makers and that at the "devalued positions" the NFL has discovered that those are spots where unless you have an elite talent there you have an opportunity to get similar results out of run of the mill talent for run of the mill money compared to good talent for good money. The drop off in overall unit performance isn't dramatic dropping down from "good" to "JAG" and it saves money to invest in the premium positions. It's about skill sets and what is hardest to find, simple supply and demand. There's just more serviceable LBs and RBs and safeties out there than their are CBs and pass rushers and QBs. And honestly, a big part of our historic lack of consistent success has been investing too many premium draft and cap resources into those devalued positions. Yeah, we've had a lot of great off the ball LBs and RBs on our way to be a franchise with an overall losing record. Pointing to our success at those positions is proving my point because I just point to our W-L record and overall lack of historical quality at premium positions like QB, WR, CB, etc. We've sucked in large part because we've valued the wrong position groups. In a vacuum it doesn't matter. But in actuality every high pick or big chunk of cap you spend on an off the ball LB or RB or IOL is a high pick or big chunk of cap you couldn't spend on a QB or CB or WR or OT.
    • Right before Kuechly retired, we had some of the worst D line play that year.  We were ranked 29th against the run in 2019.   I remember even Kuechly struggled to get off the blocks at times because the linemen were on second level so quickly due to our porous line made up of Kyle Love, Vernon Butler and a washed up Gerald McCoy.   
    • fingers crossed for BlueSky embeds to come with the board update at least all the schedule reveals will be on the youtube
