lol you really believe that?

Yes. If we had an intelligent QB that knew what he was looking at, could see over the line OR find passing lanes, and make the throws when they were there, then we would've won at least 5 more games.

Problem is, as you know, we had ZERO offense... Which caused our defense to give up more points than they would have otherwise. All we needed to do was score and we would have won several more games. We just couldn't score. Mainly because we were inept at QB which in turn made the OL look even worse, allowed opponents to stack the box with no respect for the passing game, and left the defense out there for 2,000 years each game.

So yes, I believe it.

Warner, yes he went to NYG and then Arizona but he was that. Brees will be that.

Warner was a stop gap guy in AZ. I will give you Brees, but that was also a unique situition being a guy who was off major surgery on a team with Franchise QB on its roster. If not for the injury he would have been franchised and traded. (my opinion)

So getting a long term franchise QB via free agency is still very rare.

Connor is not OLB material, so either Beason moves back outside or Connor will back him up. Also, do we have a contengency plan for Davis if he's damaged goods?

Anderson was our second best LB this year and he was making almost as many plays as Beast all year. Really not sure what Panthers squad you watched, or if you just like to be a debbie downer....

Jimmy-3tds/9ints 33 sacks 2 fumbles lost

Moore-5tds/10 ints 13 sacks 2 fumbles lost

Pierre-1td/2 ints 3 sacks

9tds/21 ints 39 sacks. Quarterback lost us atleast 2 games this season.

not to mention both BSP's INTs were pick sixes and two of Jimmy's were. Matt also threw one as far as I can remember. That's horrible.

I'm also convinced if MM would've stayed healthy we would've won at least a few more than we did. But, I'm fine with that now if we get Luck.

    • Sound write-up MHS, as always.  Agree that the smart move that forward thinking franchises make would be drafting a tackle early, if not for sure in R1, depending on who's there. Based on early predictions we're choosing between Fano and Proctor. No brainer here...Fano all day. Proctor does not move the needle for me. In my mind, Icky has less future here than Brooks does. I love Icky, but he has been average as a top-10 pick, one good year where you saw the potential...and that was this year. He's built like a RT and his strengths are there, but he's always played left. I also feel like part of what has held him back from being elite, was his work ethic. He was known for it coming out, but feel like he fell right at home in Carolina and maybe didn't push himself as hard as he needed to. Throw in a major crucial injury that will take time to recover and a historical low return rate to current form, and the outlook is not great. Fano can play both sides and we need to also plan for Moton's departure. Either way, delaying drafting a tackle early this year will hurt us down the line. Our current OL is overpriced and needs to start adding draftees to start balancing out the inevitable changes coming in the next 2-3 years.  As others have said, maybe Icky can replace Hunt or Lewis in a couple years when he's fully recovered....IDK. Also not a guarantee, but then you have to figure out his contract and it becomes even more clouded.
    • It's past time to just eliminate it in terms of an event. Just do the voting, name the roster, and move on. When you get down to 6th and 7th alternates it's just absurd. It doesn't mean anything.
