Looking at his PFF grades; 

2015; 63.4

2016; 82.1

2017; 69.6

2018; 73.3

2019; 72.3

2020; 51.1

2021; 45.0

Seems to be on a downward trajectory. 

Sounds like he's a perfect Matt Rhule guy, Rhule loves trying to prove how great he is coaching guys up.

Man I hope some of the late round DTs of last two years catch on.

Nixon was one of my favorite DT prospects that year. He has some pass rushing capabilities.   Roy and Haskins are big bodied dudes that can hopefully stop the run.  I think we good. If we spend money in free agency is pick up players cut during pre season I hope it's at linebacker.

Im right with you. Deal is they are a little too young and DL always get injuried in TC. Depth just isnt there and all it takes is one injury, then Roy is the best option to start....

Future-wise I expect the 2023 draft to be 90% DL...

Shelton and Dunlap are done. Sorry guys. Decent depth at the very best. Reason we haven't signed them yet is we aren't budging off the league minimum which is smart. 

Brother all is needed like 30% of snaps and holding hands. Trades are still in play too......Ive been wondering what the raiders would take for Colin Ferrell...can not be more than 7th/6th.

 

Plus panthers have some players to trade, glulp OL ERV or Elf for a DL.....

    • For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.  
    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
