1. Why did we extend Cmac when he had years (plural) on his contract?

2. Why did we extend Anderson when he had a year left on his and we spent a high pick on a wr in the draft and with Moore coming up as well?

3. Why did we pick up the 5th year option on Darnold?

4.  Why didnt we address the oline in the draft?

 

 

I am sure there are more but those are burning questions for me as we sit going down the tubes.  For a brief minute it seemed like we were ahead of schedule in getting out from some bad deals but damn we are on the hook for a few more years with some dead weight. 
 

 

 

1.  Because when healthy he is one of the best offensive players in the game.  And we don't have a crystal ball to tell us he would get injured 

2.  Questionable move no doubt…however Robbie was fantastic last season

3.  Because we didn't have a QB

4.  They addressed the CB position which was a glaring need before the draft.  Horn looked damn good before the injury too

nah, Bills currently have B2B winning seasons, something we still have never achieved.  So their us, but better.

We should have shitcanned Hurney and let Beane become the GM here the moment they got word he was considering leaving to Buffalo.

These are all valid questions, brother.

I like Robby, but I would have much rather lost him in free agency and moved CMC to receiver to prolong his career.

Our RB rotation would still be solid and you can always find rotational RBs in free agency/undrafted guys.

As far as the oline. We passed on very good offensive linemen, & when we drafted Brady Christensen he was hyped up as a “steal” by our guys. Baffling that he can’t crack the rotation with this group of guys.

I think that speaks to how bad Rhule and his guys are at scouting offensive linemen.

Well this doesnt make any sense because Beane was hired may 2017 while Gettleman was still here. Dave wasn't let go untill that july. So Hurney wasnt anywhere in the picture yet.

Not that I  have any way to prove or back this up but I really feel like they planned all along to give Darnold 2 seasons to get the benefit of an offseason (hopefully) more focused on the offensive line unless the bottom absolutely falls out.  There was probably also an element of making sure there was *someone* at QB who was not PJ Walker next year.  I also still do think that if a premier QB falls into the Panthers laps that 2nd year might be a year as the backup.  

To the OL in the draft - they kinda did.  They just didn't do it the way we wanted or, apparently, very effectively (though BC didn't look that awful).

Oh well pardon me.  Point still stands, they shoulda shitcanned Gettleman and made Beane GM.  Didn't they end up firing Gettleman the next year anyways?

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
