...or their eyes are on the bigger issue at hand, the defensive line.

Yes I do think that the D-line is a bigger issue, but the weakness of the D-line only exploits the weakness of the secondary. Our oppposing QB has all day to pick apart our secondary. Yes, yes I know, weak d-line. Our weak secondary gives the QB to many options. Better corner play, less options, blitz a LB with weak d-line = less QB time in the pocket.

is off the market w/o us going after him. Hayden just signed a 1 yr deal with the Falcons. So now Newton will have to throw against him twice a year...

maybe you should consider all the teams who passed him up after his visits and that after all of that he only ended up with a 1yr deal before you post threads like this..

he's never been a particularly healthy or durable guy. he was on the market a long time and he's just now finding a team why????

i'm not worried about us not signing him. i'm not worried about the falcons bringing him in. he won't be the reason we win or lose games against them. not even close.

he might have had an offer to come here and thought he would rather not. he might not have fit what the panthers wanted in a CB so they didn't put much into trying to bring him in. there are too many reasons for him not being here, but he's not talented enough as a player to be upset over missing out on.

is he better than what we have on the roster? maybe. but the bar isn't really set too high and there will be other CBs coming available who won't be as injury prone and who will probably fit more what the panthers need in a CB (mainly someone to handle the slot receiver).

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
