How far would the Stafford led Panthers have gone?

Probably pretty far. The Rams have had that roster together for a while and it’s all been for naught. It was a franchise QB that finally made it all worth it.

to reinforce that, most of their major players were brought in as high priced free agents or blockbuster trades. You’re gonna see more and more teams be more and more willing to part with major assets.

the problem with the panthers pursuing Stafford was never Stafford, it was the opportunity to draft a long term franchise QB, something they foolishly ended up bypassing anyways.

can’t make the mistake again, if the super bowl proved anything, it’s just how futile your chances are without one.

burrow took an average squad and led them to a super bowl.

an elite squad floundered for years because they had an average QB and finally triumphed once they got one.

If Dave tepper doesn’t see the obvious now then there’s no helping this organization as long as he’s here.

no more cutesy minimum play investments. It’s time to spend massive capital one way or the other for a guy.

Smh....we really have people on here acting like the refs won that game for the Rams? Funny how end of the game situation makes people forget what happened earlier in the game.

How many other Super Bowls have you seen where the winning team on their final drive gets that many favorable flags in the span of less than 2 minutes? We got some blind mice here.

Agree with everything you said here except that Brady didn’t win a SB with Caldwell. Caldwell was his #1 WR for one season, in 2006 when Manning finally beat the Patriots and then won the SB. He dropped 2 passes in that game. If anything though it proves your point further.

Whoops. Nice catch (not Caldwell, you)!

Not far, he would have benched himself by week 8 and held out until his trade demands were met.  He wouldn't even do that with the Lions.  How crazy is that?

That would be if he survived until week 8.  As it stands now and this last season, we need somebody that can run for their life back there.

So, not far is the right answer.

The worst part is that we are in the worst year to make that investment. This is truly a case of Murphy’s law.

It feels like this every year, but the math points to the likelihood that there is a guy in this bunch. Identify him. That’s the job they’re paid to do.

      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.
