Just trying to figure out if i am the only one that sees we are really likely to suck next year. I mean come on:mad2:, we haven't picked up anything solid, and let go of a ton. I think we made alot of cap room when there is no cap and for what, all those high picks we are gonna get in the draft. NOT. What are they doing, rebuilding when this is their contract years. Give me a freakin OK I'm done venting for now.

"Addition by subtraction "- Jake Delhomme.

I was just about to say that!

It really is true. I'm not going to bash Delhomme, but look at how well the team played with Moore under center. We have no reason to think our run game will be anything less than it has been the last two years, and our defense improved with just about every game last year.

I'm concerned about the defensive line, but less so now that Brayton's come back. I hope we can grab a good tackle or end in the draft, and a receiver. Other than those positions, I don't think we have any pressing needs.

And I know it's tough to say this before the season, but it would appear that we have a pretty easy schedule next year.

I may need to stay away from this forum for awhile... This shi is getting absolutely crazy this off season.... Just do a search for off season whining... you'll find more post like this... Stupid new threads day after day saying the same thing... A big F*U to all those who do not believe in this team for next season, especially when were in the playoffs. If not, I'll be wrong like every other year we don't make it to the playoffs.. oh well.

yeah we sure going to suck without jake, diggs, lewis, landon johnson, peppers, hoover, moose, dante wesley, vincent. how will we ever overcome such huge losses? oh doom and despair.

only one that could have a big impact is peppers but even with that i don't think it will be much.

plus we have room to pick up 25 more players before camp. and we will have at least 8 picks and could have as many as 10 if we have a repeat of last year giving up a first for a 2nd and a 4th (which is very likely).

there is going to be another wave of free agents hitting the market after the draft in which there will be a good bit to choose from all with talent on par with the first wave (not hard to do considering how poor the FA market was) at a much more reasonable price.

no need to panic. we'll have TD back, an upgrade at QB, one year into the new defensive scheme, still having the best run game in the league with or without hoover, plus one of the best Olines in the league. the secondary is solid and the Dline should be as well. STs should be improved.

superbowl bound? probably not...but still a legit shot at the playoffs and a winning record.

Honestly I feel better about this coming season than had we stuck with that dead weight. We still have a draft to go through where I have a feeling we will pick up some extra picks through mortgaging next years first. We really only have one glaring hole and thats WR. We do need some depth in spots i.e. QB, OLB but things look alot better for next year. I cant wait to see what we can do with Moore starting a whole season.

      Bucky Brooks eats humble pie. You want a couple of slices?

      No you dont.  He had all those records for years before his final season. Whether career or season he had them all years before his final season in which he played 6 games.

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By csx · Posted

      Williams covered for Moore by saying they were on the wrong page about Moores specific route. Williams could have easily covered for him by saying he messed up. Suggesting only 1 route was ever intended to be a viable target is absurd.

      Edge Rushers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I am going to agree with Linville this time--I think we need to get a veteran edge (We have Jones II, Scourton, and Princely--2 developmental guys and a decent veteran).  We don't really think of Jones because he had a hamstring injury weeks 3 and 4 and a back that required surgery Week 6-17.  He still managed 10 pressures, and he will be 28.  Princely Umanmielen only played in approximately 18-20% of the snaps and he struggled at times.  Basically, he was a situational pass rusher.  He got 1.5 sacks and 10 pressures.  He should improve, but for now, he is what he is.  Scourton gives us hope.  For a rookie (and thanks to Jones II's injuries, he was given more PT), he had 8 sacks--and held the edge.  He played at a first-round draft pick level.  He has the potential to become "that guy" in 2026. We lose Wonnum, who played nearly 700 snaps and amassed 3 whole sacks.  For a person raised a Gamecock, I would not be upset if we purged our roster of all South Carolina alumni.   However, I see it this way:  Wonnum was decent holding the edge, something Patrick Jones II and Scourton have demonstrated at a high level.  He is a liability, if you ask me.    Jones had 7 sacks one season in Minnesota and is known for his inside rushing ability--not what you would call a speed rusher.  I think Princely was a bit disappointing, but he was a bit raw.  Out of college, they described him as being a bit predictable.  I see no reason he will not improve in 2026 and become a situational pass rusher.   Basically, with Scourton and Princely expected to continue to develop and Jones II returning from injury, I think we need another veteran (if we can get a good one) to give us balance and depth.  A third developmental player is not ideal.   Draft:  OT, LB, WR, OL depth, S. Free Agency:  Edge, possibly a WR;  re-sign Mays, Cuhran, BC (??), and Nijman.  Let walk:  Wonnum, Scott, Dowdle.  I see about $20m per year after signing the OL depth.  Spend it on a veteran edge.   Players like Reddick (Tampa), Bosa (Buffalo), Khalil Mack (LAC) could be available on a one or two year deal in the $15m range.  We could splurge here, but I think a veteran situational pass rusher (depending on Jones II's back) is all we need while our 2 young guns develop.
