All depends on how Mayfield looks this year.

No. No matter how good Baker is his best case scenario is a wild card loss. Lets get a real QB w potential that hasn't already proved he is bad in his first 5 years in the NFL and try to resurrect him. This is why its dumb af to sign Baker, now we won't be able to get studs like Young, Stroud, Richardson, Van Dyke, etc b/c Baker will win us just enough to take us out of position to grab them, have to sign Baker to an expensive contract then after and then have a max ceiling of a wild card loss. This franchise is so dumb and tricks ignorant fans.

If Mayfield plays well enough to get this team (and staff) to the playoffs then he's the real deal.

Dan Morgan is going to sign Dawson Knox (Buffalo) and we will have Tremble behind him. Doubt we draft a TE. I don't think Buffalo will be able to afford Knox.

Have you seen our cap space next year? WE don't have the cap room.  Yes, we need to draft a TE.  TE and DE are priorities.  We have to see about QB based on Baker' season.  Assuming our picks stay the same, we only have four selections: 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th.

Yes, we have a lot of room for cuts and re-structures. I played around with our cap and got us to 50 million relatively easily. What we need the most is a DT next to Brown.

Some of the linemen and signings this year will need to be resigned more than likely. We will more than likely need to resign Baker. Even with Darnold off the books it will take a creative front office to keep our core together. I hope Baker works out so we can build the Defensive line interior.

DTs are a dime a dozen; easy FA fix or mid-round fix.  We have some young DTs we need to see as well before writing them off.   Cuts and restructures kicks the can down the road and messes with subsequent years.  As of now, we are in good shape for 2024, so I don't want to mess that up.  If Rhule is still around, I have no doubt he goes down that path.  Inevitably when he is canned, the next couple of years will be a mess to dig out from under as he goes form season-to-season trying to save his backside with little regard to the long term health of the cap.

      So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.

      My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
