Key to the offence: Brady Christensen

I watched Fitterer's interview the other day and he spoke a few times about Brady and how important his role will be. So, I've been thinking a lot about this, if he is ready to go and can take a starting spot (T/G) we actually could develop into a very dangerous o-line. 

Our line was so bad last year, we didnt have any chance in games. It really didnt matter who was throwing the ball we were getting blown up every play. 

It all starts at the line and we have not had a good one for years. Now, finally, it looks like we could make that a team strength. 

 

Im excited. The team is getting better. If a QB shows up for us we will make things messy in the NFC. 

LFG!!!

Listen....this isn't Great Britain, we use an "s" in "offence."

Some years back, I had to work July 4th. One of my colleagues who was also there took a call from a British guy.

After the guy hung up, my coworker complained.

"Man, why is this British guy calling in today? Doesn't he know it's July 4th?"

I gently said, "They don't really celebrate that in England. It's... actually kind of a sore spot." 😕

If Brady can actually hold down the LT spot allowing Icky to smash at LG, then that would be awesome.

I would be happy with both of them locking down a spot but it would make me cringe thinking about Icky being licked number 6 overall, 1st offensive player drafted, prototype LT going into LG. That seems like the ultimate Rhule move but I see no way it happens that way

I just gave you the D making you pull off what not many have accomplished. The 5-fecta of emoticons. Congrats my fellow Panther lover.

I am a BIG Christensen fan. I think he has potential to be a very good offensive lineman. He is extremely athletic and smart. Only thing screwing him up right now is Rhule trying to play him at every oline position and not starting him over freaking Michael Jordan and Cam Erving.....Stick him at one spot and he will thrive. Now, if that spot is guard (which it should be) now that we have Icky he will take a year probably and need to gain some weight, but his potential is very high to me.

I’ve spent the 4th of July in London a couple years ago…not a single firework. Sad. Probably had some this year though with their buffoon PM getting the boot.

He doesn't generate a lot of push because although he is a great athlete he is not very strong and his technique is still lacking.

He is definitely a project player.

Im not sure how a 26 year old player is considered a project.  I think at best he is going to be a good/great backup to have on your roster to play in a pinch.

Some linemen do have relatively long careers. If he develops he could have some time in the league as a high caliber player.

I don't see it happening but it is possible.

Age isn't really a part of the equation unless he's old enough to where he's physically limited.  Just because he's a few years older doesn't mean he's further along in his development than a 23-year-old second-year player.  It's about his experience and the level of coaching he has received, which are both on equal footing with NFL sophomores.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
