Theres not going to be alot available free agent wise and this college class doesn't look amazing for qb's.  Considering Carolinas lack of picks, they may need another rental for 2 years.  I feel a trade is imminent.  What do we think about Garoppalo?  He will almost have to be available.  

 

Mike Kafka  - Offensive Coordinator

Trade down twice to 15+ acquiring 2x 2nd round picks and probably a 3rd/4th. 

Trevor Penning OT - Draft 1st Round

Carson Strong QB - Draft 2nd Round

Rasheed Walker OT - Draft 2nd Round

John Schmitz C - Draft 4th Round

Garoppolo - Trade for a 3rd

This rebuilds the Oline, gives a decent qb room with Garoppolo, Darnold and Strong and an up and coming qb coach to oversee it.

Short answer?  No.

However, the good news is....we are primed for a total rebuild with tons of cap space and a new GM...right when the rest of the division is heading toward major shakeups.

 

 

Oh poo...that's not true...we were primed for a perfect rebuild and the coach, that the owner hired and gave way too much power to, thought we were ready to win now and treated his cap space and future picks that way.

 

Now we must start all over again, since we didn't do it correctly the first time.  Tepper needs to hire someone that truly understands the NFL, and allow them and Fitt to run the show.  He HAS to get away from this team.  He has proven that if there is a decision to be made, he will make the wrong choice.

The fact that we’ll need at a bare minimum 3 starters on the line and depth, as well as a re-designed QB room suggests this will be a multi-year rebuild. If we had the picks, or had the money, it could possibly be fixed sooner, but I’m not expecting it to be significantly better until 2023 or even 2024. 

But by then, the defense would have fell apart.

IF, and that is a big if, we can can basically can the entire offensive coaching staff and bring in a crew who know how to get the best out of players and can scheme around the talent that we have, and if we spend the vast majority of our draft capital on the OL, then I think we can be a decent to good offense. QB is still an area of need but OL has to come first. We have talent on the offense, we just need a good line and coaches who actually know what they're doing.

I don't get drafting a QB in Round 2 if we're also going to be trading for Jimmy G in this scenario.  Use that pick for offensive line help.

It's not going to be easy, that much is for sure.

This offensive needs a QB, LT, LG, C, TE2, OL depth, and an actual scheme that can succeed in today's NFL while stuck with salary cap restrictions as well as no day 2 picks (though, to be fair, CJ Henderson for a third is actually starting to look like a steal).

Is Rhule still here? If so, no.

I'm afraid this is probably correct.

For one, if Rhule is still in charge, I can't see him moving on to a different OC. Remember he said that he "went outside his comfort zone" to hire Joe Brady. Jeff Nixon, on the other hand, is well within his comfort zone so it's difficult to think he'd make a change there.

Matt had his chance to pick OC, now its Fitts turn

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
