Watching Rashawn Slater be great makes me sad and angry.

seattle was never able to find an O-line for Wilson either

This - I mentioned when he hired Fitz that my one concern was how that organization missed on the OL over and over again.  Hope that isn’t a trend that continues here.

This is something that haunts me. Maybe Fitt will apologize to Russ when he leaves Seattle next year in the promise to make it right and get him protection.

 

Ultimately to come up short. Cuz that's just what happens here in Carolina.

Doesn't matter if we got Slater. Its the interior play that is truly abysmal. Daley and Miller both gave up sacks. Miller had a false start and hold as well.

as nice as Slater would be.   The bulk of our issues on the OL has been on the interior.

But what if the coaches played Slater at guard and Erving at tackle? Or vice versa? Either way might have improved the interior line as well.

With the defensive backs group we've assembled at this point we don't really even need Horn.

There is no way of knowing that those trades would have been available when they drafted Horn. So, taking Horn still makes sense since corner was a big need too. Personally, I would have taken Slater since I believe he would have impacted the game more if he played every game as part of the Oline that impacts every offensive snap. Corners, no matter how good, don't impact every defensive snap.

Wish we had jumped up a couple spots in last years draft for Herbert and then taken slater this year 

Herbert would have meant no first rounder last draft at a minimum.

Or we would have made the smart decision to fire Rivera when the team was shitting the bed and we probably would have never beat Washington in a meaningless game.

This

We could have Orlando Pace and Jordan Gross as our tackles if Daley, Paradis, and Miller are still the "anchors" in the middle, all any team has to do is stunt their best pass rushers up the middle and it's sack city all game.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
