Andy Dalton Re-signed

Something to be said about culture as well. The offense started moving in the right direction as the year went on. If Bryce digresses this year, we don't have enough talent around (insert your backup qb choice here) to matter anyway. Seems to me Dalton has helped Bryce, and has helped the offense. I think the coaching staff is saying having a positive, experienced guy (on the cheap) that knows the offense and has helped Bryce through his struggles was more important than bringing in competition.

Dumb move. He isn't really playable anymore, he fell apart after 1 game this season. If it's for more than vet minimum it's a waste of cap and roster space. Just pay him to coach and free up a roster spot.

The start to another disappointing offseason is underway in Pantherland again.

 

 

I feel close to this as well. That's starter safety moneyz and guess who needs two of them along with 15 other spots....

But this doesn't hurt the high I have after a new strength coach.

Any backup vet QB is going to cost around what Dalton got if not more. All NFL teams have to pay “starting safety” money for a backup unless you roll the dice on an unproven rookie. If we didn’t give Dalton “starting safety money” we would’ve given it to someone else. It’s just the reality of the position

I mean, the QB position is finally heading in the right direction.  not the time to stir the pot.  Nope, skeptics, you are not getting any rookie who would be better as a backup than Andy. Not many teams win with QB2.

I still say if a Rourke, Will Howard, Gabriel, or McCord falls into day 3, you take him.

    • The current OL issues were always my concern when we made the panic FA signings that catapulted our salary cap allocation to the unit to the top of the league. For a brief time we did our victory lap but as we have learned as Panthers fans it takes more time to form a full picture. We are really not that much better off and we should have invested in the unit via the draft. There are many things wrong with this franchise currently. The defense is something we've discussed extensively. Evero is not the guy he was sold to be and we hilariously forced him to stay which has blown up in our faces. But for all the talk of how historically bad the defense was last year the reality of the matter is salary cap wise we are amongst the bottom of the league investment wise on that side of the ball for the year so everything flips back to the offense and rightfully so. Really the only thing going for us against the Dolphins is that it's a home game. But my expectations for the offense are more of the same. Even we score on the first drive it just feels like a matter of time. When we played the Dolphins in 2023 we actually hopped out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter then they took us out to the woodshed for the second half. We'll see how ugly it gets this go around.
    • Even with Hill gone...they still play with a lot of speed and up tempo.... too much for Everos monkeyazz defense.  I really look for them to smoke us.... bad.
    • The passing game simply stinks Pass blocking is not good.  We have a solid unit but we're not the best if you're just looking at the pass game.  They noted our RG depth (although we've been weird without bringing in BC) Receiver blows.  Need to spread out and be in gun to help Bryce, but McMillan has been the only guy worth anything Unexplosive, juiceless, although they concur McMillan is an absolute stud/he's a hit. 3 throws on the entire season less than 15 air yards that is credited "explosive" - no YAC.  No quickness or speed.        Bryce Young is averaging 4.0 air yards per attempt off play action. FOUR!  No play action game at all - doesn't see well (Dead last in the NFL) The team doesn't dictate to opposing defenses- I.E. you seek out matchups to take advantage of.  Understand how to move your guys, manufacture opportunities.  We don't play chess.  We go out, and run a play.  No nuance to our offensive scheme. Icky has been dissapointing this year.  He'll always be solid in the run game, but a top-10 LT? Nope.   "When losing David Moore in 2025 is a big deal..." lol If we can't get it going versus the Dolphins defense this week, then we're in for a serious problem.   What I think you can take out of this likely redundant video for many here - This week is a huge benchmark.  If this offense is still sh*t, then it's time for DT to consider a big move sooner rather than later. If this game is an indictment on the offense more than the defense, do you have enough reason to fire Evero as a transitional move? Canales' isn't firing Idzik.  Does Bryce get benched if its on the offense? What's the move if the offense sucks?
