For All That Went Wrong (AGAIN), Cause For Optimism...

Last season against the Seahawks, Cam completed 12 of 29 passes for a 41.4 completion percentage. He threw for 141 yards and had no TDs or Ints, but did have one fumble.

If one of those drives were sustained today that Olsen dropped a pass on, or we sustained any other drive, he would've surpassed his yardage total against them from last season.

He completed at almost 70% today for 125 and a TD.

Their secondary is apparently just that good.

Now the downside... they were missing virtually all of their pass rushers and Browner in the secondary. But, perhaps Seattle's defense should be given some credit.

Still I don't want to hear excuses or moral victories, I'm just saying there's a slight possibility that we didn't play as bad as it actuslly appeared and our offense perhaps isn't destined for failure.

Don't get me wrong, that's still me stance on things. But next week is my last, last, last chance given to Rivera... even though I felt we shouldve fired him midway through last season.

We need a #1 WR. That's our main priority IMO. Rivera is getting better however will he ever be what we need him to be? I'm willing to be JR wants to find out despite our record. (unless it's fuging terrible) I just think Rivera has transformed our defense from a joke to a fuging juggernaut. We are a play making safety and a true #1 receiver away from being truly great. I hate to say it but Rivera needs more pieces to truly be great but you're right he has enough for this team to be competitive. I'm drunk I don't even know if this paragraph makes sense.

Done with moral victories time to win a dam game. This guys didn't build off these type of game last year so I don't expect them to build of this one.

After all the talk this off season about wanting to be more aggressive and stuff I can't believe Rivera called the game he did. Almost impressive how gutless this guy is.

We are still a improved 6-10 team. We took on a team that is playoff caliber and lost. In that regard we are a year or two away from a good team. When you play ST guys the fug up because they are ST guys. I happens and we will have to deal with that.

In today's NFL, more important than a great defense, you need a offense that can get you points when you need it late in the game. The Panthers simply don't have it as it was evident again despite all the problems last season. Simply inexcusable not to upgrade that part of the team

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
