equals draw per ESPN for the team most adversely affected by the lockout.

Bengals have no QB with Palmer selling his house and leaving the area.

vs.

Panthers have a new defensive minded head coach with no QB.

ESPN called it a push.....with Titans, 49ers and one other team also in the mix.

Vikings are pretty badly off.

It was either the Vikings or Redskins that were in the mix for teams most affected by the lockout.....

to me San Fran is bad off, but they do have Alex Smith...so I guess Carolina is the worst seeing as they have a new QB and coach who will never get to meet or even talk prior to games starting....

What, exactly, is the positive of having Alex Smith?

Not a lot, that's why they are one of the top 5 teams who are the most affected by the lockout, but I would definately want Alex Smith over a quarterbackless Cincy or a Clausen/Moore Panthers.

why would the panthers be more worse of than any other team......its not like anyone else can practice either

New coach. No defined QB.

The lockout will prevent coaches and players from speaking, planning, training or practicing.....so...given that...a team like Pittsburgh or Green Bay is in better shape, seeing as most of their players and coaches are the same as last year, while teams like the Panthers have changed almost all their coaches, soon to change QBs and many of the players are FAs.

Once the lockout is lifted or the old CBA is reinstated, the Panthers are going to have to do a lot more work to get a team on the field than the Steelers or Packers will....that's what ESPN was saying anyway.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Actually that 4400 was based on a 16 game season to match Bryce's 16 games this year. Your offense has to be to drive the ball when it matters. Bryce doesn't do that with any level of consistency. If you're building a team that isn't focused on your QB, then fine. Then there's no need to pay Bryce as a franchise QB because literally anyone else will do. If you're going to pay him 50m plus per season, you have to be able to put the team on his shoulders and know he's going to carry the load. So far, when the pressure is on to get it done, Bryce has fallen miserably short of the target. 4-6 to finish out the season and 0-2 when all we need is a win to secure a playoff spot isn't stepping up and proving yourself as a franchise QB. I'd say it's quite the opposite.  There isn't a single coach in this league that would take Bryce over Burrow and very few if any that would take Bryce over Prescott. Hurts didn't have to throw in 2025 because Philly's defense was disgusting and Saquan had a MVP season. But then again, Hurts has shown that he can when it counts, and then there's his signature. Philly runs the tush push to lethal perfection, but that's a play we can't even consider with Bryce. You used 3 QBs from teams that had no defense to show QB stats don't always matter. When we had the worst defense in the NFL, we didn't see Bryce step up and carry the offense and put up gaudy numbers in a losing season because we were playing catch up. It was pretty much the opposite.  What have we seen from Bryce consistently to consider offering him a top 10 NFL franchise QB level contract? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?

      If you pay Bryce $50M a year you greatly limit your ability to put the type of team around him you need to have to have a chance to win. THAT is the problem. Hell, we can't win with him on a rookie contract. How the hell are we supposed to start winning with him paying him like a franchise QB and having to make tough roster decisions to accommodate his cap hit?
