Apparently we went 1-15 again

Really nothing said just a re-hash about Williams being old...damn anyone could write this.

3. Carolina Panthers. The Panthers have certainly splashed around some money, so I guess there's an argument to be made that they're winners here. But when you're 1-15, I don't know why you give big money to a 28-year-old running back when you have Jonathan Stewart(notes) on the roster. They were kind of painted into a corner with Charles Johnson(notes) -- he's 25 years old and had 11.5 sacks last year, so they sort of had to keep him -- but to me, $30 million is a whole lot of guaranteed money for a guy who's had one good season. I'm glad they were active and I'm glad they're trying hard to improve, but I wonder if that money couldn't have been put to better use.

Even ignoring the part about 1-15 that was one of the worst write ups I've have ever wasted my time reading.

Mostly because were on the top 5 Losers in FA and NOT in the top 3 winners.

We did an excellent job in FA so that yahoo retard can suck it.

During Lockout:

"Panthers will suck this coming year because they are going to lose DWill, CJ, hell maybe even their LBers in Anderson and TD and they won't be able to replace them!!! Also, Richardson is a cheap son of a bitch that won't pay anyone!"

After the lockout:

"Panthers will suck this year because they kept DWill, CJ, and their LBers and their team sucked last year so it has to suck this year too. Also, Jerry Richardson throws too much money around!"

I understand some of the points they are making but we would have been a much worse team letting those guys go and we still have money to make some other moves. Also, I know it was a trade and not a FA signing, but come on, how do you not give us props for raping the Bears to get Olsen?

I can understand why someone might not put us in the top 5 best teams in FA this year because I don't think we addressed our two biggest needs as well as possible (though perhaps as well as the team could afford while building through youth, which I understand), but I just can't fathom how we are in the bottom 5.

The guys that re-signed were all of the best at they're position in FA. I think we did a decent job, but if we had put "better use" to our money, who were we supposed to sign that were any better?

I suppose they expected us to grab a big name corner or DT or... who the hell am I kidding, they don't know enough about our team to even realize those two areas are weaknesses, they just know our record last year and our lack of big name FA signings from other teams.

    • Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens. 
    • Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.   
    • Highest amount of OL salary cap in the league too. The Chiefs are behind us at 2 but we are ahead of them by a cool $23 million. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/position/offensive-line/_/year/2026/table/active/sort/cap_total
