still not sure about that whole corbett to center thing. 

we have to draft a guy. 

That's my biggest worry on the offense line. Will he stay healthy and be able to hold down the job? If not who replaces him, another scrub? I want a long term solution found before Colbert breaks down as he most likely will.

This is a good year to draft a center.  A starter capable rookie to back up Colbert should be available at our first three picks.

MHS was on to something when he suggested that we need 3-4 of our O line starters on rookie contracts at any point in time.

Our offensive line has to be elite.  I think Morgan has done a good job, at least on paper, of giving us a great offensive line.  If our RBs can run through this line than it is going to make it much easier for Young to pass the ball when needed.  I think D. Johnson is going to have a monster year with this offense.  Even if we draft a rookie WR he will be the #1 target for Young.

There are several additions to this team that could be busts or they could be great.  This first group of free agents will define Morgan going forward.   I have always been optimistic and believe most of these guys will perform well. 

We'll see but if we can put a competitive team on the field, regardless of our final record, I will be happy going forward.

Well, we have one so lots of work to do. Our OL is probably up there for most expensive right now because we barely drafted OL since 2017 and the best OL we’ve drafted since 2017 is BC.

We just need to get to a place where we can keep drafting OL every year.

hate to start a rookie on OL.  Best thing is to let Corbet handle it this year, his final year on contract.  Use one of our first 3 picks on c and let him learn a year and strengthen up.

We're getting lucky  on that position.  One of Van Pran-Granger out of Georgia, Barton out of Duke or Frazier out of WVA would get the job done.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
