some love for Cade Mays

How nice would it be for a franchise that has had years long woes along the offensive line to have Cade Mays and the guy #2 on that list on a rookie contract.

Anyone suggesting this is irrelevant might as well call up the Panthers and ask to get put on the payroll in some capacity because why be an unpaid sycophant?

All the huddle is going to see is Frazier number 2

No, some of us will see Humphrey 1 and Frazier 2. We know about Frazier but don’t forget that when C was a huge hole without Kalil, we took TMJ right before Humphrey. Lots of us in here wanted OL, OL and more OL that draft but we liked Erving and Elflein better. Could have had Slater, Humphrey, Smith, Moton and even BC anchoring the OL for years. Could have had Garrett Wilson and $150M for DL as well. It’s truly groundbreaking how bad that Fitterer dude was.

With as much of a crap shoot as the draft can be, it is pretty good for any round pick imo.  Hopefully he is our center for the future and we can scratch that off the list.

It's hard to overstate how important an offensive line is to a QBs performance and development.

If there was one overriding failure during Cam's run, it was the fact we invested so little overall in his protection.

The value of giving Bryce good protection, especially in the interior, is paramount.

I genuinely cannot remember a year where we had this much Oline talent and depth.

I am not sure if we have done 

enough on defense to be great, but the offense has no excuses.

We were spoiled by the good Kalil for a long time, and we forgot how important a good and intelligent center can be.

Kalil helped Cam tremendously his rookie season

People were not that high on Mays during the season.  I saw some good stuff from him and felt that we have our center.   He and Hunt are tight, fwiw.  When the good players accept you, it is because they know and trust you.  I am not sold on Corbett as the starter--Mays, in my view, earned it.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
