Athletic was recommending we may need to add a pick with Sam for a lesser pick.  Something like a 6th+Sam for a 7th.  Basically get someone to pay out his contract. He's a negative asset.  

So a team with either a set rookie and no backup and a ton of space next year...

LAC & JAX would be my guess.

Nothing to be undecided on, he’s been terrible and there was 0 need to do an extension before the year. His second half last year was a red flag. You don’t pay a number 2 WR $15M a year to placate him, especially as one of the non-super charged passing teams. The timing was terrible and never should have been done before the season. Reminds me of Hurney placating Olsen with extra money only to waste millions more after he was hurt. Robby’s extension average salary is right where Godwin and Kupp are.

Anderson is ranked 114th in receiving yards. Zylstra and Thomas have combined for 35% more yards and Zylstra was on IR.

He shouldn't have been extended. It was a bad move.

However, I have a feeling we'll be able to up his production and he'll be tradeable by the end of the year.

At least with Anderson you had a proven production. I think there's a good shot he'll play much better the rest of the season. In which case the Panthers can deal him for draft picks that they desperately need.

I honestly feel bad for Anderson. He had his early career derailed by Sam Darnold. So much so he had to come to Carolina on a prove-it deal. He played well with Bridgewater, earning a contract extension, but then the same man that derailed his career early does it once again.

Imagine losing potentially tens of millions of dollars because of one man. Him telling off Darnold on the sideline made complete sense to me.

This really isn't born out by the facts of his time at NY tho...  He did have a usage decline with Darnold slightly, but nothing like this year, not even close, and he was still productive there...  same YPC with and without Darnold at NY, and fewer than 1 reception less per game with Darnold. Similar TDs. Now that doesn't mean he *liked* darnold, which maybe is a bigger issue with him.

tbh Robby hasn't played particularly well since midway thru last season... Dude's average just tanked.

I agree on the extension.  It was too long of an investment in Robby.  But it's sunk cost so you have to squeeze all the juice you can from that lemon.

He's on pace for his worst year in the NFL, even with an extra game. Even with Walker, and a broken Bridgewater he played fine at the end of last season. His production wasn't like early in the season when Teddy was staring him down, but it was still good for a number two.

Sam Darnold is done. He's doing so bad that even D.J. was on target for by far his worst statistical season. The reason is Sam. I read a tweet earlier that indicated that the last two games of Sam Darnold were statistically the worst in the NFL, ever.

Anderson has done well overall throughout his career. He'll be in the NFL for quite a few more years.

In the first half. He disappeared in the second half and no, after 1 year of his two year deal he didn’t earn an extension with all the other guys we’ll need to pay.

Bridgewater did get hurt, and played through injury last season in the games he didn't miss.

It wasn't perfect, but Anderson had his best year.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By frankw · Posted

      Oh please with the wallowing in victimhood I'm going to take my ball and go home routine. You were just in here referring to people as super weird haters because they don't completely agree with your borderline delusional spin on what Bryce Young is and isn't as a fourth year starter. We can hope by some miracle that Bryce Young will actually be able to lead a formidable passing offense this season without being irrational homers and pretending verfiable data and what we have seen with our own two eyes doesn't tell us exactly what he has been to this point which is someone who moves the ball at a historically low rate.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      By OldhamA · Posted

      I am curious who's behind all of this though. A video and photos from years ago surfacing? Someone has a vendetta and is driving this PR campaign. I'm loving it, but I'd also like to know who said mystery figure is.

      I say positive things about Bryce when he earns them. Which he has a handful of times. It is all here and on the record but your lobby won’t focus on that or the flat out truth inside of our critical comments.  It is a constant thing with him and his backers - one or two good things and people are trying to extrapolate that to proof we should commit to him, while ignoring or making excuses for the larger portion of his track record.  When he is able to consistently turn in franchise QB extension worthy outings the tone of the posts will reflect that.  I have already said that if he would play like he did in the WC as often as we need him to, I would be okay with keeping him.  See you don’t want to talk about that though because it shows actual fair minded evaluation not stanning.
