Darin Gantt with some good info in his new article.

- team has had discussions with PK Eddy Pineiro 

- potential interest in DE Henry Anderson coming back 

Fug that. Give me Zane Gonzales back. Don't trust Eddy in clutch moments for sh*t.

I'm not a big fan of re-signing Foreman.  Not totally against it because I get it, but I don't think he's anything special and I would rather have a more explosive lead back.  Not to mention he's not much of a threat in the passing game.  

Will be interesting to see the numbers.

Eh, Purdy didn't take over until about 3/4 of the way through the season after Jimmy G. did all the heavy lifting.  He would get an asterisk from me. Wilson has been such a tool lately, I totally blocked him out, lol!   Wilson, Big Ben and Purdy*.  Looooong list indeed. 😀

Add Dak Prescott, Lamar Jackson, and RG3. Before you asterisk jackson for only starting half the season, they won 6 out of the 7 games he started vs Flacco who was 4-5.

And while they didn’t win their division, mac jones, luck, Andy Dalton, mark Sanchez, joe Flacco, and Matt Ryan all made the playoffs in year 1.

A veteran TE is a rookie QBs best friend.  It would be malpractice to draft a QB and give him our current QB room and/or a rookie TE.  I agree, we need to draft a TE, but that doesn't mean we stay away from the position in FA.  Stating the obvious, FA comes before the draft and we can't risk not being in the right spot to draft a TE and miss out entirely.  We don't need to blow a ton of money, a middling guy would suffice.

And TE is a free agent signing that does not break the bank.

I like it, another Jericho Cotchery type.  The price has to be right though.  He's solid, but not worth breaking the bank to acquire.

I read somewhere that he is looking for coin--knows the FA market is crap, I suppose.

Name rookie QBs that have won their division.  I'll wait.  That's a lot of research for such a small list....if you can call it a list.  Let's not go back to the before the 90's, just the past 30-ish years to save you some time.

I realize he was not the starter until he was the starter, but this is the reason Mr. Irrelevant was so impressive this year.  He actually won his first playoff game.  In the playoffs historically, rookie QBs are .355 win percentage, and no rookie has ever taken a team to a Super Bowl.

(I should read ahead before posting)

Good digging!  We won't likely get a Wildcard, though.  In order to make the playoffs we'd have to win the division outright.  The East will earn one, if not two, the West one and potentially one out of the North.  It would be tough.

Brissett makes the most sense to me.  He's worked with Reich before and has shown in the past he understands his role on the team, which is perfect to pair with a rookie QB.  Not to mention if the rookie isn't ready to start right away, Brissett is a capable starter.  Not great but serviceable.

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
