Who Is Going To Lead This Locker Room?

Give me just a moment.

Who is going to lead this locker room and by definition define this upcoming year's team's attitude?

Cam is loud, cocky, funny, confident young lion. Smitty is the brooding, crafty, successful, locker-room quiet guy with the one-liners, that won't shut up with advice. Gross is the good-guy with the aw-shucks attitude but plenty of FU attitude on the field. Beast was once the unchallenged leader on dirt but then went down temporarily. Key is the most no-nonsense, let's get to business guy I have seen in my life. Rivera sets the tone, the players define the tone.

There is a reason teams with great drafts have not lived up to expectations, they never find a common goal/philosophy. Who does this team belong to on defense and offense?

My guess is Cam on O and quite possibly Luke on D.

Just because you get injured doesn't mean you are no longer the leader. It's been Beason's team ever since he was the one to have the balls to call Peppers out on his effort, or lack thereof.

Cam is growing into the leadership role and the wise veterans will make that happen while maintaining their own respected status...it should continue to be all about the team. It would be foolish not to prop Cam up as the leader and he should be more comfortable than ever taking on that role.

There is going to be ambiguity at Beason/Kuechly year two, maybe this year. Beast is my boy but Rivera is setting a new atmosphere, and it it is not accidental. Choose sides now because I do not think this will be amicable.

Not a chance in hell. Beason is the leader, even if he was moved to OLB (which I highly doubt.) There's no drama there.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
