Yall can keep Taysom Hill.

The only reason I mentioned Taysom is because, SP told M Loomis, “He wanted to take Taysom Hill with him.”

not sure why we would not want him.  Just because he played for the hated arch rival, doesn’t make him a bad player.  I am not saying we would want Taysom Hill.  I am saying he would be an excellent play if he works with SP.  I am not sure I would kick him off the football field.

I feel like "settling" is an appropriate word for how I would feel if we hire Steve Wilks. He's fine, but he ain't winning any championships.

it just feels like the 10-7, 6-11, 9-8, 4-13 road ahead would be set in stone for us

 I am not a fan of giving division rivals extremely high draft picks for a their former coach. George Siefert comes to mind and we didn't have to give up high draft picks for him.  Personally, if feels like a Sean Payton money grab for him.  That's why I think he'll go to Denver .  Walton has deep pockets as well. Denver  Division  is tougher than our NFC South currently. But I don't think he cares. It's about a big pay day.

    • I agree.  He is solid. Another player I think is underrated and with good reason (I will explain): Monroe Freeling UGA Many have him the fifth-rated OT, but I would put him at 2 or 3.  Reason?  He played the season with an ankle issue and still kicked arse.  Here is a write-up that describes him--the injury, in my view, has him rated lower than if healthy all season. OT Monroe Freeling Georgia | 6'7" | 315 lbs Ht:6'7" Wt:315 lbs Class:JR Age:21 (25-Jul-2004) Monroe Freeling earned Second-Team All-SEC honors from league coaches for his performance during the 2025 season. Starting 12 of 13 games, he was twice named SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week after dominant showings against Auburn and Texas, notably grading out at 80 percent with zero pressures allowed against the Longhorns. During the 2025 season, he managed a nagging ankle injury suffered against Kentucky but remained a cornerstone for an offense that ranked first nationally in fourth-down conversions. As a draft prospect, he is recognized for his exceptional reach, mobility in pass protection, and "road-grading" power in the running game. While he has proven to be a reliable starter at left tackle, he also offers significant versatility having started at multiple positions along the line during the 2024 season. Here are some others I like (mostly developmental, but we have at least a year--we hope--at RT)   Your boy: The Panthers were looking at Barber at the SR Bowl practices, I believe.  Good run blocker--needs work in pass pro.  A RT candidate? Shelton would be an ideal swing OT. I really like Bowry.  Footwork is huge for a T, and we do a lot of zone blocking.  
    • We could/should re-sign BC and Nijman and draft 2.  There are 5 or 6 expected to go after round 1 that I really like.   Some are a year away, so I would give Moton an apprentice now.
    • I think (April 2025) the Panthers already gave Ickey his 5th year deal for 2026, a $17m fully guaranteed.  This, in my view, eliminates the practicality of signing a free agent, as if any ever make it to free agency anyway.  So we have a year before deciding on Ickey's next deal / future.
