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.

Some of us see Linderbaum and Humphrey...

But at the same time... Mays up there @ #6 as a sixth-round pick surrounded by first- and second- round guys is impressive and likely why they felt comfortable passing on them for other players.

I am not sure if we have done 

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

They were the worst receiving group in the NFL last season after Diontae lost his mind. 

We're putting a lot of faith in 2 second year players developing, 2 rookies (1 being a 6th rounder), a 30 years old that hasn't played in years, and a bunch of UDFA. Hopefully Dan and Brad can work their magic.

I don't know if the order of operations fits, but I'm glad Mays has shown he can play in this league.  We missed out on the top guys, but we may have made out alright regardless.  Even if Mays is just a bridge, its encouraging to see his improvement since being drafted.  As a rookie I wasn't sure that he was going to stick.

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.

I have center 1 as one of my pre-season battles to watch. Corbett is not guaranteed the job. 

It's a lot more relevant than WR6 or secondary depth (I still think that we're not done here. I expect a S and CB to be added before week 1).

I hope there's a good competition for starting center this season. Since we have a young QB who is still very much developing, this is a massively important role to get set in stone here.

Good luck to Cade!

Yeah, I hope Cade wins the job.  I am pretty sure Corbett is one and done here, but if he wins the job after 1 healthy season in three, he will ask for a big extension, in my estimation.  If Mays shows well early, I would extend him to a decent contract while you have options.

Corbett has played 9 of the past 34 games.

Mays and Zavala looked lost in the Reich offense.  Granted Zalava was probably playing too soon due to injuries but he looked terrible.  This new staff seems to be doing well with our OL.  I also wonder if having two vets in Hunt and Lewis just made life that much easier on whoever was/is playing center.

This board, me included, was beating the drums for both Humphrey and Frazier. I honestly think this board would draft better than the actual team after the first round, like if we had a consensus poll everytime we picked. Panthers wasting shitloads of money on scouting

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By woahfraze · Posted

      Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.

      Totally agree with you, if we had invested in drafting a corner or two I wouldn’t even ponder adding Ramsey. But, to be honest we legit added nobody to our corner room this offseason we have nobody worth developing. Even if Chau Smith Wade is better then what I think, he is the only guy we have invested draft capital into outside of our starters.

      Look at his snap counts, your telling me that his entire college and pro football career every coach he has had has misused him? No offense but I don’t think you understand the role of a slot corner. Mike Jackson is the literal definition of an outside zone corner, he would be totally inept as a slot corner. Ala why he has been an outside corner his entire career.
