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.

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.

      Do You Agree With The Neglect of the Offensive Line from This Draft???

      By d-dave · Posted

      They saw something they liked with Austin Corbett.  I'm not sure if that's the answer, but we'll see. I was hoping they would grab a center, especially the kid out of WVA.  He seemed like a real dawg. So long as the Panthers are better than last year, I'll be satisfied.  I mean, we had the shortest time in the lead in the league and won two games.  Let's see that improvement!

      I doubt he gets all the reps and snaps in preseason. But yeah, the kid better ball or things will get ugly quickly.

      By rayzor · Posted

      i don't see it as an overt neglect of the OL. They had several priorities they felt they had a bigger need to address and available options to take care of them. i would have liked to see us draft an OC, but not sure i'd want that rookie starting, esp. day 1. of course it depends on who it was. agree with it or not, their biggest priority has been on getting BY playmakers, and they got those.  those that have pointed out that FA period isn't over and cuts are likely coming are correct, the roster as is right now won't be what we see day 1. lots of time to pick one up...if they plan to. one thing to consider, they may actually like the idea of Corbett playing there. and, as hard as it might be to consider, that might actually be the right call. and having BC as the backup might just be enough. i don't know. i'm just going to sit back and watch it all unfold and be excited that we have those big OGs on either side of whoever we have starting at OC and we'll be a lot better for it. another thing to consider, BY might just be comfortable with Corbett already there. it's important that the QB feel confident in and have a bit of a connection with the OC.  either way, despite my being all in on Corbett as center, wishing that we had drafted someone, and hoping that we get someone in FA...i'm not upset or bothered by it. the team is in a lot better shape overall than last year going into the season and i feel good about the moves they have made so far. looking forward to what they do the rest of this offseason and what they do going into next year.
