What moves would U make as GM

I see alot of post and arm chair quarterbacking about people would do this, would do that, should do this, should do that.. So if you were GM, what do you do? RR is staying so we dont need to hear your philosphys on who we should pick for head coach, but what other moves would you make. im not asking for peoples opinions on others post either.. just strictly, what would you do as gm. if you dont have nothing nice to say...stfu. cuz no one cares

personally, first thing, cut the fat, and dead weight. Players like Clausen need to be gone, they are taking up cap space and roster spots that could much better be utilized. I mean i would rather have a 4th string Left guard to rotate in and out than clausen on the side line. Second, find a REAL kicker. someone that can put points on the board. period.

asside from that, I like the talent we have on the team. BUT id have to trade beason, and try to find some big proven corner. 1 Is better than nothing. On offense, I have to draft O line with the first pick. If the talent isnt there, possible trade back and pick up a Wide reciever, and get a trade or FA Oline. with the talent already on the team, i dont think you need to do much more than that. maybe tighten up the D line a little, but they did a good job as is.

third, Id leave Chud in place. He got the offense working the last half of the season once they moved to a pro style offense. Without being on the inside its hard to say wether he should stay or go based on his attitude towards having his schemes taken from him, but from the outside looking in, Id say he stays.

the only other thing i can think of, is possibly trying to re structure a couple contracts to free up some cap space. but thats an entire topic unto its self...

Lastly, as GM. I WOULD change the mentality in the locker room. Id have to pull a military style beat them to nothing and bring them back up as winners approach, but by the end of it, the entire team would be more cohesive, and tougher.. not to mention stronger.

thats about it for me. what you got.

I'd be looking at the upcoming draft thinking about who would be available around the 14th on the O&D lines that would help us improve up the interiors. I'd also be looking at LT in search for a possible sucessor to Gross so we can slide Bell into RG and move Gross over to that RT for the remainder of his time as a Panther. This is assuming we can restructure his contract and keep him here.

knowing it's a make or break year for Ron and basically its a one year interview, you start getting under the CAP muy pronto and then start stock piling draft picks.

by stockpiling picks, you buy time and cap flexibility. if Ron doesn't make the playoffs, thats ok because you are under the CAP and have lots of picks for the new guy.

If Ron DOES make the playoffs, well, that's cool as well.

find a starting RG, find more competition at T.

Dump a RB

Restructure or dump a LB (Beason and Anderson cost too much money when you look at what Luke/TD cost).

Revamp our QB and WR corps outside of Cam, Smith and LaFell.

Focus on secondary on D.

..... Big names not involved.

Everyone that want a Tackle in the draft always ruin their case by suggesting Bell should move to RG.

    • Not sure why everyone keeps talking about the Panthers paying him $50M/year. I don't recall anyone EVER saying he deserves that. I think something like what the Dolphins signed Malik Willis to would be good: 3 years, $67.5M but it will probably be something along the lines of Mayfield or Darnold which is around $35M/year.
    • Actually that 4400 was based on a 16 game season to match Bryce's 16 games this year. Your offense has to be to drive the ball when it matters. Bryce doesn't do that with any level of consistency. If you're building a team that isn't focused on your QB, then fine. Then there's no need to pay Bryce as a franchise QB because literally anyone else will do. If you're going to pay him 50m plus per season, you have to be able to put the team on his shoulders and know he's going to carry the load. So far, when the pressure is on to get it done, Bryce has fallen miserably short of the target. 4-6 to finish out the season and 0-2 when all we need is a win to secure a playoff spot isn't stepping up and proving yourself as a franchise QB. I'd say it's quite the opposite.  There isn't a single coach in this league that would take Bryce over Burrow and very few if any that would take Bryce over Prescott. Hurts didn't have to throw in 2025 because Philly's defense was disgusting and Saquan had a MVP season. But then again, Hurts has shown that he can when it counts, and then there's his signature. Philly runs the tush push to lethal perfection, but that's a play we can't even consider with Bryce. You used 3 QBs from teams that had no defense to show QB stats don't always matter. When we had the worst defense in the NFL, we didn't see Bryce step up and carry the offense and put up gaudy numbers in a losing season because we were playing catch up. It was pretty much the opposite.  What have we seen from Bryce consistently to consider offering him a top 10 NFL franchise QB level contract? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.   
    • I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?
