The thing about Young being benched is that now we know exactly what we have talent wise. We have no pass rush, and defenders who miss too many tackles and allow too much YAC. On offense we have good interior pass protection, so-so exterior pass protection, WRs who are decent but don't win enough on 50/50 balls and have inconsistent hands.

Taken all together, along with other factors, and you have a lower tier team that isn't rock bottom, but isn't going to sniff the playoffs. The top priority now is obviously to improve the pass rush in the 2025 draft. 

Fitt was an awful GM, and too many of his draft picks didn't pan out. We should have traded Brain Burns for two first round picks, and kept CMC. This team with a healthy CMC is close to making the playoffs imo.

Me too. He has been horrible to watch play. I mean from the 1st game where he threw those two picks.

Funny thing is, when that game happened I was bewildered, not sure at all what I was watching. But it was so bad. I remember trying to figure out what I had seen and trying to make sense of it.

After watching him try to play for a season, I went back to check a couple of things and it didn't seem that bad. We have been conditioned to a new low bar for not that bad.

You're overall roster talent is basically two things

1, maximizing cheap talent (your last 4 drafts)

2, maximizing cap space (good FA pickups at fair prices)

Going to take a couple good drafts to turn around the mess Fitterer left.

Luckily there doesn't seem to be too many bad FA contracts we're stuck with long term. Sanders and Ian Thomas should both be coming off soon. After that there's really nothing too bad outside of B.Young who we'll probably end up trading and unload his contract that way.

Can't cry over spilled milk. I'm just happy Fitterer is gone and Morgan is doing well to rebuild this roster. 

Picks 1-4 in 2024 draft class seem to be pretty solid picks. The bottom half of class needs developing.

Not saying Jonathan Brooks is CMC but he might be close if he is anything like he was Texas.  And with Chuba running like he is right now we might be even better.  We could possible see a mix of the CMC days with the Thunder and Lightning days.  Pretty excited about that!

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
