Doubling down on Young. I don't like it. We NEED Young insurance.

Sure. Sounds like a winning idea but we will not do that. Watch. 

They are all in on this QB. Funny that as an investment banker Tepper is making a classic investor blunder in doubling down on a bad bet. But, I guess Young is just a "distressed asset." 

Too bad we aren’t getting any bailouts.

Idk yet, still new to me so I cannot automatically assume one way or another what they will do.  I won't be surprised if it doesn't happen... like drafting legit TE help over the past 3 seasons.

Dave Canales was able to get Baker to put up 4000 yards and 28td's to 10 int's. If he doesn't think Bryce has the ability to run the offense he wants to run, then I'd be all for going and getting Sam Howell from the Commanders. 

As much as the fanbase would hate it... I don't hate this idea as much.

I'm still a Bryce guy but Sam Howell is an absolutely perfect fit for the offense that Canales ran in Tampa this year. Dude throw's a great deep ball but he needs to control some of his erratic play and taking so many sacks but to be fair the Commanders had an awful Oline last year.

Other than a cheap vet FA or a very late round flyer or UDFA, no more QBs this year. No trades. No attempt at a top shelf FA. No day 1 or 2 draft picks.

Intention should absolutely be to see if we can get something (performance-wise) out of this pick that we fuggin paid so much for with a new coaching staff.

Then next year see what, if anything, can be done to get another one.

But we are at the beginning of a several year process to make us really competitive. We roll with who we've got this year and focus coaching on Bryce and building up the parts around him.

Nope. If he shitts the bed in 2024, you go QB in the next draft. If he is bad again, the draft pick will be top ten. Teams needs Oline, WR, Edge rusher in draft and FA.

Deep WR draft so I'm confident on being able to build that room, OL is shaky to me so far you have really good guys and then a chasm and then alright guys. Hopefully the Senior Bowl can alleviate some of the worry there. Should be some later round Edge guys that are decent.  Unlikely to spend the entire draft and FA periods on those 3 positions though.  Should evaluate from top to bottom and chip away.  if QB ends up one of the places they address later in the process then so be it.

Then we wait 2 years and take advantage of other options until then. Hopefully we won't need to do that.

Just imagine the 2026 draft the panthers have the 1st overall pick and Bryce is a confirmed bust and the Manning family tells Tepper to kick rocks and that Arch will not play for him. Just imagine the huddle melt down🤣

I'd call their bluff and draft him anways. "Make his preferred team trade for him."

    • I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
    • Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly. 
    • Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
