We are killing it today! So far we have signed:

-Troy Hill

This is for those folks that think the cap doesn’t matter. It does. You can play around with it but it’s not unlimited forever. When you spend on JAGs to the top of the cap for 6 years and produce 2-7 wins while also trading away half your draft picks, you hit a wall, a wall we should have hit in 2020 and again in 2022. We didn’t and now we have nothing and are still running into the top of our cap so hopefully we learned our lesson and take our lumps and suck for 2025. Stinks that 2024 appears to be a helluva draft class. Maybe we can squeak out a few more good picks with Burns.

So far seems like we are going to tank 2024.  We are cutting older starters, taking dead money hit and staying put.  Wonder if Tepper is throwing a towel on Bryce after one season.

Wasn’t the whole point of bringing Canales in was for Bryce?

As we should have twice before. Great opportunities squandered. I don’t think anyone is throwing the towel in on Bryce, but I do expect this to be make or break. Well, I shouldn’t say that yet. If the 2025 QB draft class is more like 2022, we might see year 3 of Bryce. If there are good QB prospects like 2020, 2021 or 2023 then I could see us using the 1st on a QB.

It's how we should have done this rebuild from the beginning.  Start building with young hungry players and let them develop together as a team.  Once we get competitive we can add these premium vets to put us over the top.

OK, Panther fans,

I think the Panthers are being smart.  the Bell cut was a bit surprising, but wait until the market calms down.  I am not seeing Detroit going after an Edge yet, and they need one.  Houston might too, now.  So let the dominoes fall.  I think the signings so far will help us negotiate with Burns if nothing else--

That was the line, but I really, really hope it's not true.

I'm just excited to have a YOUNG, offensive minded head coach who offers a fresh take and new perspective.

I've already made up my mind on Bryce. I wonder how long it will take the team to do likewise. But at this point, I've already got my eye on 2025. This is a year to move pawns and try to set us up for the future.

    • We both know there's more that goes into batted passes than just the height of the QB. Most people here have readily acknowledged this and there were numerous discussions about it before we drafted Young. But if you are presenting a POV that Bryce's height hasn't tied to issues with his footwork then there's nothing anyone is going to be able to say to sway you and you know this. Even beyond the footwork I recall a redzone play where Bryce couldn't see around his right tackle at all where a receiver was waiting practically alone in the end zone for a touchdown. There are real world circumstances that are going to show up over the course of the upcoming season and it's up to Bryce and Dave Canales to make adjustments and do anything they can to mitigate negative instances and yes that begins with Bryce's footwork again. Thanks for your time. Have a nice weekend.
    • I'm arguing that should those supposed deficiencies, like height or pocket footwork, be as consequential as you and others have claimed, then there would be a clear, observable impact in the data. That's not unreasonable. For example, batted passes are often used as a size-related concern (see: Baker Mayfield), yet Bryce ranked among the lowest in deflections at the line. If his stature is such a limitation, why isn't it showing up there? Or are you suggesting that's why his passing yards fall short of your expectations? If the latter, I would hope that you're not discounting yards left on the field due to drops (of which he led the league in).  Also, asking for specific, measurable benchmarks isn't aggression... it's accountability. If that feels uncomfortable, it might be worth reflecting on how much of your anti-Bryce argument is grounded in subjective perception rather than objective metrics. So, again: do you have any specific KPIs beyond total passing yardage, height, and weight that you consider relevant to evaluating whether a QB is top-10? If you want to add YPA and passing yards per game to those metrics, that's fair, just be clear about it. But let's not pretend that asking for clarity is some kind of provocation. I'm simply trying to understand the actual criteria... not just the vibes.
    • Jackson actually played quite well for a #2 CB #54 in PFF coverage ratings 12 pass break ups solid in run defense..... Hes gonna be targeted just because Jacyee IS being avoided.
