Tee Higgins would obviously be fantastic if we could sign him next year. But what about Jonah Williams? I’ve only seen him play a few times, but he strikes me as a starter level LT. He’s had some injuries and was moved to RT this year, but I wonder what he would look like next to Ickey at LG? Anyone watched him play? Would playing next to a potentially very good LG in Ickey (I know, lots of assumptions here) be a valid option for us next year?

Panthers fans don’t understand how bad our situation is. No free agent worth a damn is coming to a 1 win team. Jonah Williams is a right tackle exclusively, we have Moton who’s better than Williams. The Bengals aren’t letting their good players walk. They have twice as much cap space as we do(75m vs 37m) They’ll just tag Higgins(20m), and we have nothing to trade for him. We spent a bunch on free agents last year and we got worse, teams don’t let good players walk, we need to build through the draft.

Yeah the pipe dreams of crushing free agency should be gone. We've gotten demonstrably worse since Rhule got canned. 

Given that fact, I wouldn't expect anything close to good offseasons until Tepper kicks the bucket or stays away.

We’ll the Bengals signed Orlando Bloom from Chiefs (good starter) and let Jesse Bates go in FA (great starter), so that’s an overall weird take.

I was more curious about Jonah and if he can be an ok starter at LT or not with a potential great LG next to him. But I guess we shouldn’t even talk about free agency with so much else to talk about 🙄.

      Lowest Yards Per Completion...All Time.

      So much revisionist history around the pre-draft Bryce hype. The media was practically united in saying that if he were a couple inches taller he'd be the perfect prospect and it was just a question of whether he'd hold up in the NFL being that small. The Panthers did not create the mythos around him they were just the team that bought in. The team was largely praised for the move after and for surrounding him with what was considered an all-star coaching staff at the time.  Yeah part of the fanbase wanted Stroud but let's be real, we're coming from an oversized franchise QB who injured himself out the league. There was some analysis here on the limitations of Bryce's game but people were mostly just concerned he was going to turn into dust when he got sacked in the NFL.

      Maybe Rod changing his philosophy a little so that stars dont turn into JAGs.

      I feel like the last 2 years were the best chances to win the Cup under Rod. Especially 2 years ago. Im afraid this year is the start of the decline. You cant last forever with his philosophy which doesnt change and most stars you get by the trade deadline end up being just another guy.  It sucks because he is a master motivator. All he needs to do is make small tweaks like change his coaching staff and actually address the issues this team has had year after year in the playoffs. Not just personnel wise, but strategic wise.
