Watching Rashawn Slater be great makes me sad and angry.

I would have loved to have Slater. And even moreso as the season goes on and seeing how well he's performed. However, if we had him, the interior Offensive Line wouldn't be much different. So it wouldn't have been the immediate saving grace that many here think. Most moves. I am of the assumption that most moves being made were still for 2022 and beyond. So I'll continue to reserve judgement until then, as hard as it may be.

2020 = Complete strip of the team / rebuild
2021 = See improvement and fill in some gaps
2022 = Patch the rest of the holes possible + compete

We're still in a good position to meet my expectations / hopes. We were not revamping the whole roster in two seasons. And most of the moves being made reflect that.

problem is the defense is ahead of schedule but the offense regressed so we're about the same team as we were last year IMO.

There are a lot more pieces in place in 2022 than last year. But the Offensive Line is the clear achilles hill right now on the Offensive side of the ball. Chuba has looked solid filling in for McCaffrey. Tight End has improved. DJ Moore is still great. Robby has looked like crap and I had higher hopes that Terrace would have more production early on, but WR is a tough transition from College to Pro.

Defense has clearly improved.
Offense - the talent is still there. Enough to see more production than we have (we can't say that about Defenses in years past). But that line....

      What to Consider when you Draft in Round 1

      By Growl · Posted

      fans view “box safety” with the same disdain they have when they hear “game manager” QB.   but there’s a reason most 1st round safeties are “box safeties”-it’s a much longer list of requisite skills to be a good box safety than it is to be a guy whose only real responsibility is to not get beat over the top. Fans crave the ed reed type and as someone who has never been able to enjoy this franchise having a guy like that, I get the enthusiasm-but I’m not really prepared to spend a first round pick on a free safety. If it happens it’ll be fun, it’ll address a need with a good player and that’s well and good. But those guys end up walking after their first contract because their pedigree usually outpaces what their teams feel like they’re adding to their overall win total.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By Basbear · Posted

      Its criminal that the upcoming season is mainly in the tiny hands of BY.  I still member the time I did a full turn, if you member his first off-season from that Panthers all-time worst team....... Answering questions at his first presser, he goes along the lines " I didn't do nothing, no weight room or throwing" " I needed to get away". I was fully out with him, the guy didn't even try to improve his football mind, body, strength, in the biggest joke of panther football. I could not believe it, what a leader or dare say "point guard"(lols @ NBA point guards as a ref)

      I view FS almost as the NT of the secondary. Oftentimes the true measure of his impact isn't necessarily in the plays that he makes but what he allows you to do with the rest of your defense to allow them to make plays. When you have that elite true sideline to sideline FS safety blanket over the top of the defense it allows you to be a lot more aggressive with everyone else. Where as when you have a Nick Scott as your last line of defense you gotta be mindful to not have to rely too heavily on that.
