For those saying someone like Kolb can't fit in anywhere else and be successful....

Check out this guy:

That's Matt Cassel. I remember when he was available from the Patriots some time bet and everyone said the SAME things about him as they are Kolb.

"He's a system QB, so it's easier for him." Etc.

Looked at his numbers this year? (On a good team that's in the playoffs mind you)

Rating: 93

Yards: 3,116

TD's: 27

INT's: 7

Looks like he's done pretty good for himself down in KC. It's always a gamble and it's something you have to do. KC was terrible, traded for Cassel, did some changes, and a couple years later are in the playoffs. What if we did that? Things may be a lot different right now.

Just something to think about....

He sucked ass his first year with the Chiefs.

16 td, 16 int, 69.9 rating, 14 fumbles, 3 lost. It wasn't until they completely revamped the system to be somewhat similar to the Patriots, that he was able to succeed again.

If we were to use the system the Eagles use, then I'm down for getting Kolb. I'd also be down to see what Clausen/Moore could do in that system also though.

I'm mainly showing the connection where everyone didn't want him either. His first season wasn't the best, true, but way better than any of our QB's had this year. You could say Weis came in and helped him but I think it's more than that. I'm just saying, sometimes you take a chance.

If we could trade our 1st down and get more picks, THEN trade that first, I'd be OK with it. Kolb has looked good when he has played, mostly.

And I wouldn't be against changing an offense to fit the QB, it makes sense. Maybe he'd do better in a different system though.

We shouldn't blow it off completely. Maybe we can wait and see what the league does, as in, offering picks (when/if CBA gets renewed). If it gets away from the first round I say we ****** him.

Are you calling this year mediocre for Cassel?

Mediocre would have been a compliment for his playoff performance.

Might be more accurate to call his overall career in KC mediocre. In 2009, he had as many picks as he did TDs (16 of both) and almost as many fumbles (14). This past season, he showed improvement in some categories, but the Chiefs feasted off a weak schedule in the regular season and were clearly overmatched in the playoffs.

The obvious difference between 2009 and 2010? Charlie Weis. What happens next year when Weis is gone again?

      NBC Sports 2026 NFL GM rankings

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      All these rankings have more to do with the writers love or hate for a team.  Morgan, IMO, has done a really good job at building this team.  Yeah, there are a couple of whiffs but for the most part he has done quite well drafting and signing free agents.  22 is a bit low but it's a stupid opinion based on how little a writer knows about the Panthers.

      Maybe? Maybe....?

      When I saw that I was thinking the same thing.  If Evero does have a great season and gets hired as a head coach I wouldn't mind see McD as our DC.  If we do poorly as a team, I definitely would want him to be the front runner for HC.

      Joe Person: Panthers are NOT expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      But it's not about not upsetting a player under contract, it's about not causing a rift in the locker room. The players love Bryce, whether as a person or a player doesn't matter.  You can't spend a Top 10 pick on a QB and then still start your #1 overall pick in the last year of their contract. That act alone will cause a massive locker room rift/distraction that would be unavoidable.  Some players will question why you "wasted" a Top 10 pick on a QB you're not going to start instead of someone who can help right away.  While others will question why we are keeping Bryce around for the season when it's clear he's not the future guy at that point. It would just make for a bad start to the rookie's career while causing locker room distractions.  Again, I'd bet this has never happened in this league before with any 1st round QB, let alone the #1 overall pick, and there is a reason for it, which is that it would be epically stupid to do. And I used the Vikings as the example as they're the closest I can think of, because again, there isn't a direct comparison as nobody has ever done it because it's that dumb of an idea (no offense lol).
