Annoyingly, O-Line has to be the priority again this off-season. All the progress we made comes crumbling down if we're not able to sustain offensive drives. We will absolutely regress if we don't have a GOOD answer at LT by the time training camp starts.

Outside of that, I'd like to see us bring in a defensive backs coach who emphasizes form tackling. This season was a disaster of missed shoulder tackles, runners falling forward for extra yards, and friendly fire injuries. 

And I still really want to see a game-changing MLB again. I know it's like asking for a winning lottery ticket, but after a decade of Beason and Luke, it just seems like such an integral part of the Panthers identity. 

Three things I certainly agree with there.

His write up of the team is accurate in the vacuum of Saturday's game.  It's not even close to accurate in the context of watching this team all season. 

If the Falcons hire an offensive coach or strong OC, keep Kirk Cousins the starter, and stay healthy, they will win this division by at least 3 games next year.

Barnwell is a dvoa dork so not sure what he’s doing crafting COPE EDS except click farming. 

I am literally too stupid to understand advanced metrics and it makes watching sports sooooo much easier.

Our biggest problem is that we’ve already spent a lot of resources at corner (horn), O-line (Hunt snd Icky - 1st round early pick), WR (XL and McMillan), and RB (Hubbard). 

Because of injuries and FA and XL, we have to compound investment in those positions again. Not good.

Coker made up for the XL miss, but it hurts to have to draft an OT again.

Something will have to be done at LT, as Barnwell pointed out and was very clear in that game, Nijman is a reserve. He will be a disaster for a full season schedule.

It sucks so much worse to lose Ikey with BC likely being done here, too. BC was our realistic, on roster stop gap option.

What did I miss?  Why is BC done here?  No snark, just busy with life and must have missed something.

He tore his Achilles and he is a free agent. At his age, he will likely not be signed by anyone until he can pass a physical. It's possible his career is over or he misses all of 2026.

If he is able to recover well, perhaps towards the end of next season we can bring him in to help out.

Truthfully, the FO needs to overhaul the OL room after the two major injuries.

The origin of advanced metrics was butt hurt patriots fans in the early 2000s trying to come up with a way to make Brady and Peyton comparable stat wise

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      In 2025 Sam Darnold had over 1k more passing yards than Bryce Young on 1 less pass attempt. Repeat that to yourself several times and let it sink in. I absolutely love it when people come on here and invoke Sam Darnold like some gotcha. Darnold is the physical prototype for what anyone needs in a franchise QB. All the physical tools. Few people thought he would put it all together on the mental side of the position. He used to make some of the worst decisions you would ever see. At times in the past he made up for that with absurd throws and athleticism. But make no mistake whatsoever no matter how you feel about our starting QB. Bryce Young is a completely opposite conundrum. He lacks virtually any and all physical tools and athleticism and his elite processing is really mediocre at best on a good day and horrific on a bad day. These are realities people should have already been addressing instead of quadrupling down in year four.

      The nice thing about the timing of Bryce's contract at least is that it's going to match up with the 2027 Draft Class. No excuses, he either becomes Rams 2nd half Bryce year long, or we draft his replacement.  Nothing wrong with carrying Bryce on his 5th year expiring and a 1st round rookie waiting in the wings. Let the rookie sit until the trade deadline, deal Bryce to a needy team at the time, profit.

      Yeah they were bad QBs - but QB's that stayed on their teams for several years.  BY is better than all of those.
