His Texas tape looks like Miles Sanders Eagles tape. Eh. Sanders btw we owe $8M this year and no one is gonna trade for that dude

Brooks is what they thought they were getting in Sanders. Sanders will be gone as soon as it's financially feasible.

Sanders will be on the team this year, it would be irresponsible if he wasn't.

He counts $7.7 million against the cap.

If we cut or trade him, we take a $10.5 million cap hit

It would literally cost us almost $3 million more in cap space to get rid of him than it would to just have him be a backup or inactive every week.

The Georgia center is ripe for the picking if we want him

I would feel a lot more comfortable if they had a better plan B in place at the position myself. I'm just as confident in Colberts ability and availability for an entire season at the position as the team.

I think we're more likely to find a backup C option later in the draft than we would get potential impact rotational (if not starters) at other positions with this first pick in the 4th.

Take a CB, TE, Edge/LB, and they have a better chance at contributing this year than if we take a Center, who we can take later and/or look to pick up a training camp cut as a backup.

Oh I agree,  they missed out on starting centers in the draft. Let's hope plan A miraculously works.

Is contributing this year the primary goal at this point? Or building  a roster ?

In this instance I think they're the same thing.

With who is available, I think there are players at CB, TE, Edge that are more likely to be starters and impact players down the line than we'd get from any Center prospects at the moment.

Any Center we take with the first pick of the 4th, we'd be able to likely get an equally good center prospect later in the draft or during camp cuts.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
