Have to get a new GM.  Build one small step at a time starting with identifying and getting the best possible player regardless of position in the draft.  Do not blow big money on free agents.  This is literally a 5 year plan.  No more quick fixes.  No reason to get hasty on Young now.  Get some pieces around him and if he doesn’t work out we will pick very high next years draft.  It’s doable but will take at least 2 or 3 offseasons and some incredible scouting and coaching.

1) Fire Scott Fitterer into fuging orbit. He's simply not a GM, he's awful and I'm furious he's still employed by this team.

2) I am not terribly concerned about who we hire as coach. Frank Smith, Lou Anarumo, Mike MacDonald, Slowik, Ben Johnson (obviously), Shane Waldron are all names that intrigue me at least slightly.

3) Let the coach bring in their own GM. Or vice versa. Either way - we need a front office that Is in synch. A pairing that has a clear, cohesive vision for taking the worst roster in the league and basically building it from the ground up.

4) Extend Derrick Brown. I'm ready to call him premier at his position/what he does. He has earned it. Sit him down and make sure he understands he is the leader of this defense.

5) Trade Brian Burns. I don't think he wants to be here and I don't want him here. Obviously we're not getting anything close to the Rams package. Maybe a day two and a day three. Send him on his way. We're starting from scratch and he is not a franchise player.

6) Sign/acquire two of Marquise Brown, Tyler Boyd, Curtis Samuel, Jerry Jeudy. Give our WR room some badly needed speed/athleticism.

7) Prioritize an LT in the draft. Move Ickey to LG. Roll with New LT/Ickey/Bozeman/Corbett/Moton with BC being able to fill in anywhere. Turn the OL into a strength again.

8. Find a bruising back in FA/draft. Try to get back to smash mouth ball next year. Legit simply things to the max for Bryce. Let running be your identity. Hopefully this gets the offense moving and he can start building some confidence. Doesn't have to be your long term identity, just a way to get things off the ground.

9) All the meanwhile focus on just adding talent to the roster. Don't have any reactionary moves where we are trading away capital. Instead, try to find ways to collect it. Continue building the roster to the original blueprint you had in mind. Find culture changers on both sides of the ball.

It's the NFL, if you do things right it does not have to take long. Those that act like we are 5 years away are overreacting. Hire the right people and within 24 months you can be in the playoff picture.

cut Terrible Terrance 

And Centimeter Sanders 

If you want to subject Maye to this debacle of a team that’s just evil.  I hope he goes to a decent team led by reasonable people

I'm not re signing anyone unless I think I can sign and trade burns.  These players are LOSERS and check collectors almost no exception. Anyone that can be traded would be traded outside of Brown. Take the dead cap hits all in 2024. Then  I'm signing only 1 year deals on anyone new and shooting for the number 1 pick starting completely over in 2025 and ready to compete in 2027ish. 2024s only objective is complete purge of the stench we have now.

The first step is for management to be honest about what this team is right now. We are not a good football team and yet somehow each year we are just the right move away from competing

 

We are not one trade away

We are not one F/A signing away

We are not one draft pick away

 

We are going to have to take our medicine and be a bad team next year, and maybe more than that to get out of this mess. The mentality of making moves that can suddenly make us a good football team has to go if we're going to get out of this downward spiral.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.

      Jones got projected as the next Eli because they share a similar goofball, on the spectrum energy.  That's my theory.

      I didn't think underrated was the wildest statement. The passing and offensive command he showed in week 18 against Atlanta was as good as any QB that has ever played for this franchise.  I mean THAT part is wild.  Which plays into the overrated part.  End of regulation I don't think he even hit 200 yards passing.  I mean he had a very efficient day vs a weak defense.   As good as we have ever seen in Carolina?
