"The Panthers had the NFL’s most underrated offseason"

both of the following can be true: we can have had a good offseason and we still might suck next year. 

It's all about two things: building a sustainable future (not tying up cap with bad contracts, hitting on draft picks, accumulating not burning future draft capital) AND finding out if Bryce is the guy

nothing really new, just thought an outsiders view on what has been going on in the offseason was interesting.

excerpt:

article linky

it doesn't go into the draft, just talks mainly about how the FA acquisitions give some insight into what they have planned. 

We'll see. We had these kinda reviews for last year too with the coaches and free agents we brought in.

So much of the time the only way to figure poo out is by fuging things up a lot and fall in your face. But you keep on trying and eventually you'll fall into some good poo.

I'm hoping that's where we are now. I'm willing to give it a shot.

CMC is off the books. We're not paying Burns. We have a QB on a rookie deal. We have no offensive star on the team. Under those conditions you would expect some good moves in free agency because there is some money for it, and we've improved the roster. Even so, Young decides out fate. If he's trash again, then we're obviously cooked.

This is a pretty good assessment IMO.   As mentioned he is on a rookie contract and if he fails to improve we will likely have a high draft pick next year and wouldn't be surprised if we target a QB. I view the moves we've made should allow a young QB to display talent and grow.  The upgrades to the line and beefing up the WR room also help, but it doesnt have to be the guy they have installed there now.  That said, I want BY to succeed but he can't excel under these conditions or show marked improvement, you try to move on.  Sure, it will turn out to be an extremely costly experiment but that is the only path.

Nix!

They might as well take 1 qb every year til they get it right because the free agent market is washed. Would send a message to the qb's too, nothing should be handed to them, if numerous guys turn out to look decent then you got trade capital for another position. Better than drafting the DJ Johnsons of Mingos of the world

    • Micron just announced it is leaving the consumer market and Crucial as of February 26 will be no more. While Samsung and SK Hynix are guaranteeing most of its supply to business contracts for AI companies, leaving a tiny supply for its consumer markets. Combined with Micron those three companies make up 96% of the world's Dram supply with almost none of it going to consumers.  It's so bad that Samsung Mobile is having issues getting supply from Samsung DX which is causing internal issues and will lead to a shortage of phones and higher prices in February.  AMD announced a 10% price hike across its product line going forward as of today.   GPU's will go up here shortly, ram has already doubled this year and it will keep going up. Storage has seen a smaller increase but a bigger one is coming for it as the next generation of AI cards are being built that require a ton of HBM on the boards.  Rumors that both AMD and Nvidia will eliminate lower tier GPU's for the next generation if not sooner.  So the end isn't in site and it will totally affect next generation consoles, the PC building and prebuilt markets and everything in-between including cellphones.  Pretty much seeing the end of the main stream gaming industry end before your eyes right now.    Storage pricing doubling to tripling over the next year to two.  Consoles starting at 699.99/799.99 and up for what you would've spent 400 on just a few years ago.   An entry level PC build starting in the 3k range considering the new reality for ram, storage and GPU costs.  The cost to entry will be too high for most consumers after this shift is finished in 2028 and that's if a consumer market even exists by then.

He could check down with the best of them.  I'm one of those people that watches and analyzes a lot, my brain does it by default, and it's something that I fully expect our scouts and FO to do religiously. Football is a sport I enjoy, and I actually watch footwork more than most. It drives my wife nuts, especially with our local hockey team. I can tell within a few games usually if a goalie is going to make it or not just by watching their feet. That's why I said stats give you a direction. They help show you where to look. They're a tool. As long as you realize that they're a tool to be used, not relied upon for absolute certainty. I trust my eyes too. And I trust what I'm seeing. 3 years in, and Bryce's footwork and mechanics look almost identical to his rookie season and Alabama. Every time I see that jump pass I want to scream. Or when he squares up to the line of scrimmage to throw a pass instead of stepping into it to drive a throw. He does seem to have some sort of clutch gene, but he also has a WTF gene that rears its ugly head too.
