When was our last exciting offseason?

2006 was pretty exciting, actually... mainly because of signing Keshaun Johnson. everybody thought he was the threat at WR2 we needed to compliment smitty (some things never change) and that our offense would make us major contenders. i know i was pumped.

(in truth, had it not been for a couple of O-line injuries early on in the season, or a chris gamble WTF moment, we might very well have made the playoffs that year.)

The majority of very successful teams build through the draft. And for the most part that is not as exciting as bringing in high priced free agents. Most teams with the most exciting off seasons rarely have good regular seasons. I would rather have a quiet boring off season and a spectacular regular season than the other way around.

It was Fox that ordered the WTF, but it was gamble's job to know if it was a good idea to do it or not.

    • PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.   
    • Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor. 
    • Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
