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.

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
