Post draft... what positions do you think we are weakest at?

My biggest concern heading into this year is the LB group, we're just thin there and even when healthy it doesn't appear to be a very good unit overall. 

My second concern is TE. Hurst is good but he has injury baggage and behind him is still the woeful Ian Thomas

Defense.. particularly pass rusher and LB really need another DB as well I think they are setting the new DC up to fail personally... 

Pretty harsh take there. Most believe our defense is a top 10 defense.  We put a good offense on the field our defensive numbers are going to improve.  Hopefully, 3 and out doesn't happen too often and our defense will stay straight.

I do think LB can be upgraded and probably will after Evero gets a chance to see our guys perform in OTAs and minicamps.  Our scheme is changing so it is very hard to say what our front seven is going to look like.

After Hurst TE is a bit thin.  I am hoping now that Fhule is gone Tremble will get more action and prove his value.

Defense in my opinion was pretty overrated last year.. now a new scheme change and no new additions?? I don't see it going well for us at all

Our defense is not top 10. I wish it was, but we don’t have the pieces quite yet. Need LB, CB, and another good DE.

Eviro scheme and 3-4 in general rely on the ends to free up the OLB to get after the qb. Got solid set of 3-4 style DE's that can do that. 

 

CB is definitely a ? mark because of health. 

 

Olb must be what your talking about at LB and they drafted one and have a bunch of young guys that fit the new scheme really well. 

 

Are people forgetting the switch to 3-4?? 

 

Tons of post in here that make me think so.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By PootieNunu · Posted

      It's funny how the teams with the great QBs stay at or near the top of the league every season.  Yes it is a team game, but the QB has the biggest impact in most NFL football games.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By d-dave · Posted

      Look, no one is ever a perfect player.  Since the QB handles the ball on 100% of plays offensively (unless there's a direct snap to a RB or something), I can absolutely see where they get an outsized blame and gain from what happens at any given snap of a football game.   Theoretically, there shouldn't even be a stat or idea to a 4th quarter comeback or game winning drive because you should already have done that during the game.  Losers!  Right?  Just because you win late doesn't take away the fact you tried to lose the game for your team! I'm not a fan of that opinion, but again, I'm just a moron with a keyboard.   Bryce has limited tools.  Bryce has not inspired the same level of confidence in us as Cam Newton did in year 3.  I certainly get that.  We traded a TON of assets to get Bryce, and we still suck.  (I mean, since we've lost games, we're losers right?) I completely understand that some fans are just unhappy with a limited QB and a team that isn't performing well, unless the other teams are worse losers than we are. I will say this:  Bryce will fight until the end.  Sure, he's has some real loser football.   But in close games, he's doing his best to comeback (even against a winner of prevent D). Now is it better or worse if your QB plays their best ball in the first half and sucks 2nd half so long as they finish with 300 yards, 3 TDs for your fantasy points? Who said stats are for winners anyway?  The Panthers and Bryce has a long way to go.  I'm enjoying the winning right now.  Though I do start each game thinking "how will we fug this up today?" Because it's been such a poo show in the Tepper era.  Will he prove to be a legit starting NFL QB?  Maybe not here as evidence by our record with QBs who were high draft picks.

      Ive never liked the term game winning drives because they include games where the QB was part of or was the reason the team was behind in the first place. Ive been arguing against this stat since the Delhomme years. It should only count when the QB is out of the equation of reasons why the team fell behind in the first place and is at least half the reason why he led the last drive to give them a lead. It shouldnt count if they just hand it off most of the time and the RB is on fire and they go down and score a TD or FG.
