This is a common and extremely unfounded fear by our fans. The PS to "stud" list contains so few players over the past 30 years that most of us can probably list the few cases.

Coker is exactly what he has shown, a PS to borderline fringe roster guy. Noteable as this is currently the worst roster in the NFL.

I was not surprised that most of the peiole we cut didn't get claimed. That isn't accidental.

I hope you're wrong about the roster.  I might have agreed with the worst roster last year, but the fan in me believes they have upgraded enough positions to make a little noise this year.  I'm seeing the glass as half full, you're seeing the glass as half full of piss.  But if you've been a fan for a while, I get it, and hope those days are behind us.

Has it been discussed which waiver guys were the biggest head scratchers for us not going after? 

Probably just KJ Henry. More of a 3 tech or 4-3 DE when we're looking for OLB's. Whether it would have still been an upgrade inside I dunno, seems like the D-line can use as much pass rush help as possible wherever it comes from.

If you just walk down the roster, if becomes clear that this is a worse roster than last year.

But, some of that was just going to be the case. I am not saying it in a doom and gloom manner but factually. 

If our offseason moves turn out to be mostly above average and we look like we have competent coaching, then there is plenty of hope for the future no matter how many losses pile up this season.

Worse OL? Nah can't say this year is worse. We got 2 legit and proven OGs. What did we have last year?

WR? TE? RBs? QB? Not seeing it. Who did we lose or add that makes it worse?

DL? How? Looks like we upgraded there.

Edge? Burns for Clowney? Both produce, except we got a better run defender (and someone who doesn't half ass it).

LBs? I don't know....seems like a push there. Same with the secondary.

I just don't see this being a worse roster than last year, especially not "clearly".

It does seem to be marginally less mostly on defense. Although some positions were probably upgrades. Evero seems like his sum is better than his parts so if they can hang and not collapse, it would help. Thin thin thin. 

On offense it come down to making defenses play honest and to do that we have to get respect for the passing threat. I'd sure love to get to the point that we could knock a team out of a playoff spot because that's about the highest reasonable goal I will go for. That's probably not a 4 win team doing that, it is watchable ball.

You think this roster is worse than last year?  I don't see that at all.  I'm not saying we will be good, but I don't see how the roster is worse overall.

Thanks sir. Anything you would have done differently?

I think the ceiling is lower but the floor is higher. Losing burns and that LB, there's no way to mitigate that. But the bottom of the roster appears better, imo.

Losing Luvu stinks, but Burns wasn't a fit.  Maybe he'll become the elite player some fans thought he was in New York.  But on paper, the marginal difference between Clowney and Burns looks like a wash.

There is just no world in which I am gonna agree that we aren't worse. Now, this is a sinking versus floating turds argument ultimately.

he didn't produce like he should, so im not crying about it. still a quality player. Wash with Clowney? Yeah. Maybe. Clowney had an all world year last year but all the guys on the ravens feasted. Still not sure what we have with clowney. Hope so.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      By Paa Langfart · Posted

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
