He has us at 27th, and most of what he says is agreeable except:

They refused to trade DeAngelo Williams for a presumed Round 2 selection. And yet, they think they can get one for Steve Smith, who is done.

Ridiculous on two counts. To think we should let go of a first rounder who exceeded expectations for a second round pick, AND THEN to claim that Steve Smith is done?! whew, I hope for walter's sake Smitty doesn't catch wind of this. He's liable to catch a broke nose.

DeAngelo is worth at most a 2nd round pick.

I know Panther fans love DeAngelo, but the facts are simply that RB is the easiest position to replace and has the shortest shelf life. Combine that with the fact that DeAngelo is 28 continues to have consistent and nagging injuries and anyone should see why DeAngelo's trade value just isn't that high.

Doesn't matter anyways. I don't believe that players can be traded without the CBA and I know they can't be traded without being under contract.

You don't see a thing wrong with "Steve Smith is done"? Then you, sir, are in the wrong place.

and I'm not saying "WE CAN GET THREE FIRTSZ AND EIGHT SECONDSZES FOR DEANGELO!!!", I'm merely saying there's no way we SHOULD trade him for a second round pick. NO WAY. Worth WAY more to this team than a second round pick.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

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

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
