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.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
