This is a problem with the Panthers organization and its fan base. The team is not run like a business and therefore never achieves the level of success that winning businesses do by making the touch decisions. From Delhomme to S Smith to DWill, we have seen huge contracts offered and guys staying past their prime or at least past they point where they have any trade value to better the team. When it is mentioned on the board, people lose their lunch.

Well, I will mention again. Stewart has like one year left on his contract. No way in our pass happy offense and with the team looking for a scatback that we should sign him after next season. First, we cannot afford it, second, it is stupid money to spend when it is not being utilized. If we are going to get to the point where team means more than individuals and jersey sales, we need to trade Stewart to the Bengals or Browns for either of their second picks in the first round. They will be able to fill a huge need with their second and pick up a proven back who is clean off the field and better than anything they can find in the draft.

With our second pick in the low twenties, we can pick up Burfict ILB, Dennard CB or the WR from Baylor. With our first pick, I think OT Martin is about all that makes sense.

Second rounder will be either LB or CB, whichever we do not choose at the end of the first.

we won't and we shouldn't draft burfict.

bad idea.

too much of a headache/headcase/penalty machine.

that dude will lose games all on his own or get kicked out of games that you depend on him for.

we don't need that. his production won't make it worth it. he's not ndamukong suh or even james frikkin harrison.

we can get guys that are just as talented without the baggage that will certainly come with burfict.

Most fans aren't really cool about trading players, especially players that have a lot to do with our team success. I agree there is no way we can pay Stewart and D-will top RB money. One of them has to be traded. I think it will probably be D-will and they sign Stew to a nice contract. The best you will get for D-will probably be a second and a fourth.

People say we don't use/need 2 RBs but between DWill and JStew that's 1500 yards of offense. What happens if one of them gets hurt? If we don't keep JStew, who is DWills backup? Goodson has done ok in pre-season and as an occasional backup but is he good enough to spell DWill every game? Idk if he is...

Running backs are a dime of a dozen. You can find a decent RB all the time. The easiest position on the field to play. Not saying all running backs can be good because they can't. You have your above average back and you have your Star RB like AP, CJ2k, Arain Foster, and Matt Forte. The key is if you look at most teams in the NFL they have a pretty decent RB maybe two.

The only one that applies to is Delhomme.

What do you think the did out of Oregon could do in our offense? He will be a second rounder or worse. Much, much cheaper than Stewart and equally explosive if not more.

RB's can be found, no need marrying one for life. This is not the seventies. The rules in the NFL are formed to make it a passing game.

      First 4 NFL starts - Tyler Shough

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Completion percentage depends on the offense and type of QB.  So no I don't care about a raw comparison lol. If you don't know what I mean by that I don't know what to tell you. As to Baker, this is the second time you've ignored me and claimed I didn't say something when I did. I'm going to just stop r spending to that crap soon but on the possibility you are just missing these things in good faith - "Baker Mayfield is 11th in QBR, 14th in yards despite the TON of injuries that offense has had, 10th in QB rushing yards, 12th in TDs (and above the average in TD% lol), 25th in INTs (league average would be something like 16th). So yes, he's quite a bit ahead of the average in many categories." Rushing yards by a QB DO matter. You'd think Panthers fans would know that.  Some of Bryce's best plays have come when he uses his legs too, and some of that IS yards on the ground. And the reality is that Tampa has had crazy injury issues and if you look at Bakers career he is unquestionably more successful than Bryce and above average at that. This year his top 3 WRs have all missed considerable time and whose best player on offense hasn't played almost all year...

      Look at the chart. if you are claiming his numbers prove he not  an NFL caliber QB, than neither is Bo Nix, Trevor Lawrence, Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Michael Penix, CJ Stroud, Baker Mayfield and Mahommes. They are all below average and within 2 points of Youngs' numbers.

      Could be worse. Captain Clempsun is sub 60% completion
