I think whats really missing on the team is on Offense.

Moose and Hoover - Missing the leadership and skill sets they had is really hurting that side of the ball.

Wasn't too worried about defense with the Panthers still having Beason and Brayton.

This.

The argument that they haven't been signed is irrelevant because not many teams run the offense we do and these two guys fit perfectly in our offense and would have helped out tremendously.

I don't get how we can "miss" players that aren't in the league anymore after we cut them

Just because they aren't in the league doesn't mean they didn't have offers, would you want to pick up your family and move across the country knowing you were at the end of your career? Both Hoover and Moose are family guys and put their family first in making a decision about their careers. If you didn't have to work wouldn't you make the same decision when your family and friends live here where your kids are happy. :yesnod:

They're not getting offers.

Moose is retired, and Hoover said himself he hadn't had any prospects.

And while I'm as big a fan of veteran leadership as anyone, to think Moose and Hoover are the missing pieces in our offense is sentimentality, not reality.

Not necessarily true. Both those guys were tremendously important to our running game which coincidentally dried after up after they left. Sure you can blame in on the line but really the only thing that is missing from last year was the right guard. Even then the same line that couldn't do anything this year opened big chunks on the edges. We could run with 8 or 9 in the box last year now we can't do anything. The missing pieces in the run game besides a right tackle are a wide receiver and fullback who block for the backs and clear out the second level.

So are those the numbers from our vets from last year through 7 games compared to our guys through the first seven this year or are you piecing together stats from different people from different teams.

It is a huge stretch to compare from this year to last given the different schedule and time of possession, etc. But if you are piecing individual stats from different guys on different teams playing different defensive schemes with different schedules and comparing them to the stats from our guys this year, that is beyond the realm of validity and reliability.

That kind of shoddy logic is why people say stats can say anything you want them to. Those kind of comparisons have no relevance at all.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By nogoodbum · Posted

      Don't take this personal, but anyone who watches pregame or game broadcast on any of the four major networks & can't point out a dozen "experts" that Luke would do a better job than, is just not paying attention. IMO

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
