Major overhaul needed this offseason

I think this game Sealed Rivera's fate. We are starting to see why many teams passed on him with his multiple interviews for a HC gig. From what I understand JR didn't want him and he was Hurney's hiring?

The 90+ million backfield needs to be traded off mostly this offseason. I would re evaluate this entire OL including Gross. At least one of the RB's needs to be traded and we focus on getting one guy the meat of the carries to build a rhythm. Yeah we need a good backup, but not two starters and another overpaid guy.

DT's still suck, DB's not getting it done. LB is about the only quality position we have.

I just have to think losing at home the way we did to John Fox was the final nail in Rivera's coffin.

You know it's bad when you starting thinking about your first round pick and freeze up trying to decide what to address. LT? DT? CB? OG? S? WR?

You could make a good argument for any of those positions. We need so much help.

It's good and bad.

Bad - the amount of holes that need plugging (hahhh)

Good - you really can't miss on position

Upgrading our OLine just became the priority. Along with a playmaking safety in the 2nd round

Need more line help in FA

Overhaul? Nah

enema? Yeah

I was trying to be nice, you said it much better :-)

I gotta go with LT high first round. Gross is not doing poo anymore. If we can get him to take a pay cut/ restructure maybe his slow ass can play RT?

Center is fine, but the guards got blown the fug up today. Bad news is we are going to have to do all of it through the draft next year. There will be a massive cap hit from trading / Cutting Hurneys mess of vastly overpaying average talent.

Oh and a #1 AND #2 WR will be needed as well.

Fun times ahead!

Ron Edwards is old and average. Dwan has been a pleasant surprise.

Also our depth behind these guys are Andre Neblett and Sione Fua. Yeah.

I'd like to point out that Fua has actually improved this season even though we all know him best for his role in Boogie Nights as Heather Graham's co-worker

Why the overreatcion....this team has given away games....some nice additions, keep the coaching staff, keep Cam, get a quality WR and risk on mid round RB and keep beefing up the D....call me crazy but the team didn't play that bad today....The offense never got into a good groove, (1) the broncos D was awesome...it was (2) you have to run the ball....at least a tease to keep the LB's from tyring to kill the QB.

      Panthers decision to pass on Walker

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      The preference for smallish NTs was bizarre to me. I mean, you're already looking for a bit of a unicorn with a NT anyway trying to find a guy who can consistently hold his ground against double teams. Now you want to find a smaller, quicker guy who can do it? Yeah, good luck with that...

      Yep. I had 2 shoulder surgeries (same shoulder) in college. What you say is true because the joint is a ball-in-socket joint and not like a knee, which is a hinge joint.  Another reason (this from my orthopedic surgeon) it is more difficult to overcome is because people want and need to walk, so they are constantly rehabbing the knee.  You can protect the shoulder and avoid using it.  And you can play with a banged up shoulder because it does not reduce your game speed much.  As long as I kept my arm in tight (close to my rib cage) I was fine--but when I extended my arm, I felt vulnerable and it was weaker, it seemed. A shoulder issue was common with LBs.  I don't recall seeing a LB in the dressing room without a surgical scar on is shoulder.

      F- pick. Taking a hurt RB is the dumbest thing a team starved for tallent could have done in the 2nd. As for planning for 2025, they could have just waited since he brought nothing to 2024. That entire argument that they were playing the long game is like such a copout, just admit it was busted from every angle. They bet poorly and lost. It was a dumb pick and a complete waste of a chance to pick up a meaningful player this team still desperately needs. Picks like that is why this team is picking top 10 ever y year.
