Now don't get me wrong, Okafor is a solid player, a good role player to be exact. BUT he is no where near worthy of the contract he has currently, at best he's an average defender with a limited offensive game. He does well on the boards but he doesn't dominate them either. Kind of pains me to know we have 30+mil tied up in this guy...

He will always be hovering around a double-double for as long as he stays in the NBA (which will be a while). He is incredibly smart and incredibly consistent.

The problem is, he is consistently slightly above average. Not great, but not terrible. And his main downside is he doesn't necessarily make people around him better. I love the guy and wish him all the best (he still lives in Charlotte), but he isn't a game changer. He will probably be a journeyman when his contract expires, but he will always log static, productive minutes.

Come on Oke is better than an average defender.

He is just a little short on a lot of attributes... he could be taller, he could be more agile, he could be a better shooter, he could seem to enjoy the game a bit more, etc

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      The defense is 28 out of 32 in salary cap allocation for 2025. We have a ton of resources tied up in the offense including the highest paid OL in the league multiple 1st round WR's and multiple recent draft picks across the offense at TE and RB and we have two 1000 yard backs. Bryce and company couldn't get past Tyler Shough and his crew in 2 games. That's all there is to it. You can spin it and put the entire onus on the defense to your heart's desire it doesn't change the fact that this is an OFFENSIVE team now. If you want to argue that we should revert back to a defensive identity as we have been in the past which has brought us success then I will agree with you on that. But as it stands the onus is on the offense because that is where we have invested through the nose. Dave Canales and Bryce Young need to do a hell of a lot better than they have against the rebuilding Saints who without us should only have 2 wins this season.

      Bryce is not trending up. He is the same QB he has always been. Bottom of the league in most categories.  If Canales thinks he can build a contender with Bryce then he is a bigger idiot then I thought.  Offense next year will have the same issues and be just as inconsistent as it was this year.  We have seen Bryce’a ceiling and it is 175 yards a game and that is not a QB you keep around as your starter. That is barely a backup.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      Looks like Darnold should have had at least 3 picks. That'll get ugly in the playoffs eventually. Can't deny his physical talent though. You either have that or you don't. Mike Macdonald is a legit coach.
