That perspective I get.  I'm still a bit iffy on Morgan, although the draft class has looked alright.  

It will take at least another offseason to establish a core group here.  The defense is a sieve, unsure on coaches & QB. And we'll have to get ahead of the curve looking for a Moton replacement as well.  Not so sure that's in house right now.    

I would imagine a Moton extension is probably coming.  I'm just not sure I understand the strategy.  We have so much invested in running the ball, but we don't have a defense or a QB.  It seems like it will be very difficult to put together a viable roster with this setup.  We cannot draft an entirely new defense.  We need some money allocated there too.  And I'm not completely sold that we are solid at WR and TE.

On the other hand you have a third year UDFA #4 in the league in SF filling in for injured huge money CMC.

The Niners RB room is waaaaaaaaay more pricey than ours.  CMC is $19 million by himself.  Before the injuries people liked what the Niners were building.  People love what the Lions are building and they are locking in their RBs, a 1st rounder and a vet they just extended.  The assets allocated to our RB room aren't that crazy honestly.

I keep thinking it's looking like a better and better spot for a young QB to land looking at the offense.

The difference is those teams are competing today.  We're not even close.

Taylor is a dude I would love to see go to a contender and experience some success in the league before he hangs it up.  He's probably got one contract left in the pros and we've got him locked in next season (rest is voidable).  We could be in a spot to grab a young OT in R2-4 this draft that can backup for a season and then take over.  Would love to start backfilling a strength to avoid it becoming a weakness.  Can't have the bottom fall out if we want to be this run heavy team.  Also--just need to figure out the damn QB spot ha - oh and defense.  Lot's to still figure out but back to Chuba - don't think this really straps us.  It's a difference between a 2-4 mil FA contract and a 8 mil known asset that works with the pieces we have.  That's a $4 mil difference on a $260 mil cap.  Manageable.

And it could be substantially less. Outside of a handful of elite guys there's no one who should be getting paid "starter money" at RB. It's a plug and play position. We drafted Brooks to be our starter. We can find a serviceable backup with a mid to late round pick or low level free agent deal. We need a QB and a whole defense. A backup RB with a starter contract or starter draft capital investment is the last thing this roster needs.

I mean the deal isnt that bad I admit, but its just curious for a lot of reasons.  I seriously doubt he would have gotten that on the open market and I really really didnt want to put anything else against our cap until we get out of 2025 but again its not much.  The really odd thing is how much draft capital we have given up for 2 running backs while only 1 has played.   A 4rth, 2 fifths and a second.    4 picks just seems like a lot given this team and the holes on it.  Personally you could have let him walk and more then likely duplicated his overall production in the draft and just start again.

He is just saying you can find really cheap guys to produce in the nfl at the RB position

the hit next year is 31 million which  is kindof nuts so the only way around that is to extend him or get him to agree to a paycut which aint happening.  So seems to me they are lining up for next season to be his last.  Which would be fine since he would be 31 and is expensive as hell.  I dont remember so I will have to go back and read about the deal but damn why was it so back loaded to start with?

But why keep looking for those kinda guys when you have one on your team? You keep signing those guys and they dont pan out, what do you do then? Try again? and sign another one?

Chuba was still on a rookie deal so he was only making a little over $1M a year

I didn’t take the time to find his old contract butI was able to find that he had a 3.25 million dollar cap hit so that sounds incongruous. Maybe it was 3.29 I read it earlier.  

edit: to those calling it big money, I know it is money but how big it is, when WRs are getting well over 20 million per, and over ten years ago the Panthers were paying DW 8.5 mil per.

When you get two years down the road are those numbers gonna look that bad, if he plays well?

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
