I agree with you in principle. The only caveat I can add putting on my homer hat is that there is typically much more variance in defensive performance than offensive performance in consecutive years.

Meaning we stand a better chance of the defense rebounding to at least average next season based on history.

And our offense was playing for the most part at an average to above average level for most of the 2nd half of the season.

It's hard to believe a unit that finished this season as one of the very worst in NFL history being elite next year, but history says there is a high probability they will not be nearly this bad.

We can certainly hope, but to your original point, I think getting to .500 should be the goal for next year and at least being in the mix for the whole season.

Winning the division or anything beyond would be a nice surprise 

The law of averages says they will improve the defense to a level above what it is now, couldn't possibly be worse. Getting enough depth to survive more than a couple of injuries is going to be challenging. 

As crazy as it sounds Canales not only has the challenge of improving the offensive output and increasing his win total, now there's a full season of tape on it and Young. So in theory the offense could be worse. Yay.

What does "He is" even mean and how is it related to the Panthers? Is he replying to something and I can't see it cause I'm not logged into X?

He’s replying to something. Someone posted something along the lines of “He might be better than we thought he was” pertaining to Bryce

 

”He is” was Garrett’s reply.

Would love the player, but there's two big problems with it.

The first is that the Jets aren't trading a 24 year old #1 WR for anything less than a 1st rounder (and might need more than just a single 1st anyways), and under no circumstances should we be trading our 1st round picks in any year right now.

The second is that when the Jets inevitably move on from Rodgers (and then Adams) this offseason, Wilson isn't going to want out anymore as his problem is with those two more than the organization.

It would take pick 8

And given I want Luther Burden at 8 I’d be willing to send it for a legit WR1 in Wilson

Young and Wilson could play together for the next 10 years 

I'm vehemently against Burden at 8, it's way too high for him.

But I'd rather take him at 8 than trade for Wilson, 100 times out of 100.

It's not that I think Burden is going to be the better player, I actually don't think he'll ever be as good as Wilson is/will be.  But if you make that trade you then have to give Wilson a new contract instead of having that position on a rookie deal.  

Using the pick on Burden and then the extra cap space on a defensive player would be a million times smarter than trading for Wilson and giving him a big deal.

It's basically would you rather have Wilson or Burden and a legit pass rusher, seems like an easy decision to me.

Oh, and this isn’t the first time that Wilson has openly endorsed Young . . .

Remember talking to Garrett about Young back in Jets locker room back October. He was adamant he was a player. Said everyone was gonna see.

I may, or may not, have rolled my eyes.

GW was spot on. https://t.co/co7etqLOAG

You have to spend your cap at some point and Wilson is a #1 and 24.  We would be very lucky to get him.  If we give 8 I want something additional back

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?

      It is due diligence at that point. Irresponsible not to take him.  Crossing my fingers on this one, he has everything you look for except experience.
