I hate the wind

I used to live in a small Northern California town just outside of the bay that was surrounded on all sides by 20+ miles of farmland. In a valley. Sometimes the wind swept through that town like the rapture was coming. If you were riding a bike, it would take you from full-pedal to hitting a brick wall in no time. To make things worse, at the time I lived in apartments at the edge of the town. The street my building was on bordered a large irrigation ditch and a farm field. It just so happens that irrigation ditch was great at funneling the wind down the street and turning it into a wind tunnel. I was once literally knocked down by an unexpected 50 mph gust.

At least it wasn't that cold out though. Worst it ever got there was in the 40's. That sucks.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By frankw · Posted

      Yeah I find myself flipping between the worst case scenario of Bryce either playing just mediocre enough for our decision makers to justify giving him a contract extension in their eyes because they want to justify drafting him. Or Bryce going back to playing poorly and us having no one else to fall back on because Pickett might be decent for one or two games but there's no one else and our locker room starts to get ugly because we went all in with our salary cap and guys careers are on the line. This scenario which IMO is the higher probability given our schedule and the amount of tape out there on Bryce is why I say if we can trade down and acquire a few more mid or late round picks we should draft a developmental QB. Not looking for a guy to be the savior but someone with the necessary physical tools and who could actually run a QB sneak. But we'll just have to see how it shakes out. I just want a competitive team but the last thing I want is the season to fall apart because we once again threw our arms up in regards to the QB room.

      ^This. Rico was dynamite when we needed it last season, but not enough to keep but it massively upped his earning potential. It was a win-win for both sides. And he was there to cover the hole left by the injury to another RB, and hopefully his release to free agency means there's good news for us on the way. These new ones give us the opportunity to do that again, on the offensive line and elsewhere. We've got some long term question marks here and there due to injuries and age, and these players have a chance to up their value on the open market or settle down with us if the opportunity arises. And none of it ties us down with dead money down the road if it doesn't work out. And we've been in dead money hell for a decade now. Lease the ones you like, buy if you fall in love.

      Tight End: The Need is Bigger than We Think

      Our red zone offense was excruciatingly painful to watch last season. A half decent TE would do a lot to change that.
