If it's a long term knee they either need a new QB or we're definitely not picking first next year

I’ve seen people mention Tannehill but I’d just ride it out with Willis. If he looks good you can trade him, if he doesn’t GB will actually have a high pick for the first time in a while. Hopefully it’s nothing serious and this is all for nothing.

This Brazil game was so dumb. So after the injury they had a 2 hour bus ride back to their hotel and then a 9 hour flight home before they could even do an MRI. Isn't it a bad idea to fly right after an injury like that?

My guess is they had enough resources to confirm it wasn’t serious enough to limit air travel but not to do the full scope

It is not exactly the best thing to do, no.

Willis is terrible.  Absolutely terrible.  

They're better off with pretty much any other QB.  

If it's a 4-6 weeker (best case scenario), they absolutely grab someone else.  If it's a season ender, they still should.  He has no awareness to even use his speed effectively, no feel for the QB position.  If they even get to one game with him, I think it will be so bad they will have to change for the betterment of the locker room.

International games are money bringers but I personally hate them.  Can't believe the goal is for every team to have 1 international game per year.  I get it, but the forced global reach is straining.  

I think it would be much cooler if they focused on enriching the existing fanbases--- have 1 game as a "home away from home" game.  I.E. - Falcons in Athens, Packers at Camp Randall, Panthers at Kidd Brewer, etc.

If it’s not season ending then yeah that changes things. I mean they traded for Willis (yeah a 7th rounder) and immediately put him over last year’s backup. I was reading Willis looked better in TC this year. My point is if Love is out for the year there is not need to trade or sign some vet that keeps them around 500. Roll with Willis and either he looks good which would turn him into trade bait or he will suck and they get a game changer in the draft. I’m all for boom or bust vs treading water.

      Major Concerns with this team…with numbers

      By Stumpy · Posted

      The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?

      I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this!

      in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
