As CRA just said, Richardson just said that we were not going to sign any big name FAs and that in his opinion, none of them outside of Steven Davis, who had an incentive laden contract, ever meet or exceeded expectations.

I don't care if Jackson played at SD or not, I really doubt we will try and sign him or the other 30 guys that will get multiple threads once FA signings begin.

Despite what some folks think, JR is the ultimate decision maker about who we bring in or not and if he doesn't want it to happen, it won't.

+1

We will probably sign some FAs on defense for depth, and that's about it.

Personally I can't bring myself to devote any resources to the offense with the defense bleeding. He'd a good addition, but we need too much help in D.

I expect us to take a look at a bigger name defensive player via Free Agency, though you may see Rivera inquire about Jackson.

We need to invest money into catching our defense up with our offense if we're being realistic. We can have the best offense in football next season but if we have the worst defense then we'll probably still be a borderline team...

See: Packers, Green Bay (2011) and Patriots, New England (2011).

I know, I know...see Chargers, San Diego (2010)...just sayin

The difference between the Pats, Pack, and Panthers is we don't have the experience of a deep playoff run or even appearance. The players up north know how how to execute in crunch time whereas Cam has not yet. Our young offense can't compensate for the defense like NE and GB can.

That's quite an indictment on the people who have brought in all these free agents.

I don't know if it an indictment of those who brought them in or a realization that it rarely works that well no matter who brings them in. For example look at Philly who brought in Asomuga for all that money. He seriously underperformed. What about Haynesworth whereever he went or McNabb, Kolb, Peppers among many others. When you pay so much for a guy your expectations are very high. It is hard for someone to live up to the hype and play better than expected.

It seems clear Richardson is against the practice not indicting Hurney for trying to go that route in the past. Some of the biggest FA busts for us were actually guys brought in before Hurney took over as GM. Chuck Smith, Eric Swann, Sean Gilbert among others.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Varying degrees all around but it starts at the top. That is where the buck stops. It has been 8 years of stupid, long before Morgan came back. Or Tillis was hired. Made it to the top of stupid mountain in 2023. Stayed in stupid limbo for a while, now we are prepping to scale the next mountain. In this case, I like those guys’ roster building better than what we have had so I am okay with them as our current pawns in the game of Bryce.

      Don't let me gas him up too much, but I hear this and that...... I seen a wide body man with a quick burst, that's able to shed blocks and if extends his long arms its over. He tore up the OL in the senior, you seen about 10 plays and the dog walking OLman. There's other plays of him doing the same, just have to deal with fetus talking over the plays. Plus there's this-  https://x.com/PFF_College/status/2018385471068332410?lang=en     I hope he's ready, cause Id like to see him starting and doing his thang with dbrown, nic, and Phillips.

      I mean there is relevance to that. But I think much of it has to do with the fact that he is clearly likeable. But does that translate to a coach taking his position to the next level like those that have had staying power for many years like Spoelstra? And not for nothing but does how much someone is liked even matter? Across leagues with the Panthers Ron Rivera and Marty Hurney were universally well liked by players. Dave Canales is very well liked. I say you are what your record says. And the record says you got your ass handed to you by a fellow expansion team in the Magic in a game that was over at halftime and that same team went toe to toe with our nemesis who has been handing us L's for over a year now. And if Bam doesn't get his leg swept by LaMelo do we even get past the Heat? Again. It just all boils down to personal standards. I think newer and younger fans will love this. I just want to actually win a real playoff game fam 🤷‍♂️
