"We had three receivers dressed for the game. If he (Jarrett)'s one of the ones over on the sideline, I could see how you might say that. But he was active for the game. To get a uniform, I don't think that shows a lack of confidence."

Just three? Me no likey that, Fox. Sure, we have TEs and all...but still, I feel safer with four dressed out.

I know thie Panthers need help at WR,,,,, but it is not like they have had decent QB play. All this if Breeze, or Brady, or Rodgers, etc were on this team they would suck just as bad is b.s. If there was any good QB play and better protection by the o-line - I dont think our WR's would look that bad. There are guys getting open, and even the few times Jarrett was on the field he was open as well. On one play or two of them Moore just scrambled out and ran out of bounds.

That all being said I wish our WR was better, I just think some or more of the blame needs to be on Moore. Maybe we will see a difference with Clausen.

    • Watched the recent Mic'd up which had the Bucs game. This angle makes that fumble look so much worse, pretty sure it was inbetween Bryce's hands.   bbb.mp4
    • Here is what you did not mention (and I have not read the thread--but will--it is a needed) and that is the MAFF.  He is in a contract year (2026-5th year) and we will not know (in all likelihood) how the knee is healing by the time we have to decide on a mega deal.   If you consider the time it takes to fully heal is 12 months if all goes well, the injury is known to shorten careers.  Of course, a man of 330 lbs who needs agility to perform at a high level makes the injury a bit more serious than it was for Jimmy Graham, for example, who recovered in a remarkable 9 months.  Having said all that, I think he should be moved inside to guard.   While many NFL linemen can return to play after patellar tendon surgery, studies show a significant failure rate and reduced performance, with return-to-play (RTP) rates often cited around 50-56%, meaning roughly 44-50% don't make it back, and even those who do often see reduced careers and statistics, highlighting it as a devastating injury for linemen." I think you have to go after an elite OT, and I think it should be a first rounder because you don't sign elite LTs in free agency.  Ickey is already going to get paid $18m or so in 2026.    However, the money you save by not locking him down long term could go to a free agent edge or ILB.  It is very complicated if you start factoring in contracts, risks, cap, and the odds of recovery.    
    • Yes, we played the 2nd most cover 3 in the NFL behind the Raiders.   The flats and seams are the areas you want to attack it so its soft spots are areas qbs can hit quickly which can definitely hurt the pass rush.
