Wharton Too....

Recommended Posts

Since he is a FA its not as big of a deal but Wharton might hang it up as well...

The one good news is he says if he decides to play it would be with Carolina. Yes he is older and maybe not the most dynamic Guard we could have (Hoping the young guys are healthy and ready to go) but he is a vet and we could use some of that unless we are in the screw it let the young guys lead us. Which I am actually all for...

They were posted at the same time. 9:14... Mine was one the bottom of my screen but I could care less if this thread is the one that dies. I'm just bored at work and saw it pop up online. I know double threads are fighting words around here but what was I supposed to do go on the other thread and Post "JINX" Muhahaha

 

And yes I am all for going younger and letting Cam and Luke take the reigns.

Yeah I don't usually care about the internet or how people act on it. My last job kept me from logging on this site so I followed an inferior site more. My new job won't let me long on at an inferior site so I follow here more. All I care about is figuring out what is going on with the team and keeping myself from going crazy at my desk lol.

So to the OG topic. What about bringing back the Schwartz.... cause I mean you know... Spaceballs jokes.

    • I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
    • Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly. 
    • Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
