I actually think the Saints will try to franchise Graham as a TE, then in arbitration it will be determined he gets a WR franchise over the TE designation. I'm not even trolling, the guy takes over 60% of his snaps at WR and he is obviously too much of a pu$$y to be considered a TE since cries for a flag every time he drops a ball and can't get off the line if a defender coughs on him.

Seriously...we may not be able to afford our own Pro Bowl guys. 

 

You think we're going to get other ones??

this.

 

sure it's cool to have some of our guys get this recognition, but what ends up happening is now their agents can say "my guy is a probowler now....get him more money" and it happens every year.

 

when you have probowlers, you have more expensive players which means you have to either let them go or sacrifice other key areas because of more limited funds.

 

it also means that you'll be less able to pick up talented players.

 

ultimately what having probowlers on your team means is that your team is now harder to keep together and harder to improve upon because a few more players are more expensive than they were before they won that stupid little popularity contest.

 

it would be nice if we could impress some of the other players hitting the market this year enough that they want to come here, but we won't have the cap space to do anything about it....at least not without sacrificing more than we were going to have to sacrifice to keep guys here we want to keep around.

Do you think he gets in some players ears? First of all I don't know how many pro bowl players that are in their contract years but do you think he and or our players get in their ears talking about coming to the panthers because we are on the rise? ... discuss and or bash at will... might turn out good he gets a first hand look at some of them.

The only problem with that sceniro is that we have none of the big money to offer that a pro bowl type player would demand.However,it wouldn't hurt to start playing seeds now because we should be out of cap hell in a couple of years.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
