We can get another established veteran like Dalton or Flacco, I think. That is more my speed than a bust 1st round QB gamble or some career backup. Get someone that has done it in the past and can manage the offense effectively enough to develop young players.

I think Bryce would probably claim another coaching head if he started all the games next season.

You hit on a biggie. Development of the younger talent. Andy does this in spades. Getting a tempo for the game. Rhythm. The offense is showing completion sans a franchise QB.

I haven't been paying attention but are there any good OT's in the upcoming draft?

In the top 10 perhaps but I am not sure how much that makes sense unless the plan is to trade/cut Ikey or Moton.

There is a possible future path for Ikey at OG or RT if need be but that would be a mighty big waste of top 10 draft capital, IMO.

Ultimately, if the best OT tackle in the draft is available or is BPA, I am 100% for making that choice.

I'm just saying I wouldn't rule anything out. But yeah, I'm hoping Dan truly sticks to a bpa mindset. He didn't do that last year but the early results are somewhat trending in the right direction. It's not bad for not having a 1st round pick. Time will tell of course.

I believe Cade Mays will be a restricted FA 

I guess in my head his rookie contract would have been 4yrs. 2022 draft pick so last year would be the last year of his deal. Guessing maybe when got sent to the practice squad or something it could of changed how it work?

Investment in the O-line should be a no-brainer for any NFL team, especially on the interior to deny defenders the shortest path to blow up a play. The fact the money we spent generated results should come as no surprise. Best part is that we can likely keep this foundation going for a while.

Still, probably best to always try and find an Ugly or two in the draft. Having good depth is critical, as is finding newer and cheaper replacements. I love Moton but I feel he'll be far too much money to keep around after 2026.

I would think he would be a very affordable re-signing. Also, this draft might be the one to finally draft a center.

 

I'm feeling surprising comfortable with Brady and Mays at center.  Hate to lose Brady's versatility on the line with all the injuries we've suffered, but he'll be afforable and effective.

You got to believe some team or teams are going to toss bags of money at Christ. His 2022 LG tape is top tier. He's shown upper level play at C and LT without reps. 

 

I'd almost say if the Panthers were in great cap shape- tag the guy. *with intention of trading him 

He's going to get some 5 years 80 million deal, if not more.

We need to draft the best center in the draft and take this line to the next level.

also, it’s a testament to how good Hunt and Lewis are, that they raise the level of guys that were scrubs last year 

Jonathan Brooks is going to need to be really good for me to get over my anger about passing on Zack Frazier.

      I'm convinced Harden wants to do nothing but put up pretty shots and try to draw fouls and then do nothing on defense lol. Brunson went off though

      what does Bryce's 2026 season need to look like for you to be oaky with extending him?

      By TLGPanthersFan · Posted

      Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens.

      Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.
