Let me give you a look at our early depth chart.

QB: Cam Newton

RB: DeAngelo Williams

FB: Mike Tolbert

WR: ?

WR: ?

Slot: ?

TE: Greg Olsen

LT: THE Nate Chandler

LG: Amini Silatolu coming off major surgery

C: Ryan Kalil

RG: Gary Williams coming off of major surgery

RT: THE Byron Bell

Front 7 Dominant

CB: ?

SS: ?

FS: ?

CB: ?

and 4 million to spend. I am usually pretty patient but we need to get something going already

Let's do some quick math:

7 positions that must be filled

Additional 4 spots that need upgrading before camp

6 draft picks

4mil in current cap space.

The current Super Bowl champs built through the draft and so are we. March always seems to be the time where Cleveland and Tampa Bay shine brightest, April is our and Seattle's time.

Except for Bennett, Harvin, Lynch and others they brought in outside draft .

I didn't care about anything, anything, anything except LT. The reasons have been discussed ad nauseum as that is the one position you can't pussyfoot around with and we lost an 11 year starter who was in the pro bowl. Fortunately I do feel Cam is a freak and the GOAT and can overcome so many shortcomings, but I am very concerned. Now at 10:30 on March 11 there are no comforting options.

...Look at our roster, the one that just went 12-4 and won the NFC South, and name a flashy Day 1 free agent signing that was present anywhere on the team. Doesn't matter who the GM is, we build through the draft (Cam, Luke, Star) and sign bargain free agents. If you were expecting something different, you haven't been paying attention.

Name one reasonable person here who is actually flipping poo that we didnt sign a huge name on day 1.

You clearly had the idea of writing this thread 3 weeks ago. Glad you got your wish. Better get started on next years version while youre at it. Since ull be posting the same sh*t then

We have not a single wideout who played more than a couple of snaps last year. Outside of Kalil, we have some scrub ass rando O-Linemen with no depth behind them. Our starting corners right now are looking to be James Dockery and Melvin White with nobody in the slot. Out safeties are... Robert Lester and..? Is the 90 year old Quintin Mikell even still on the squad? Is the forever overrated Charles Godfrey healthy yet?

 

In the draft, we have 7 picks. Eleven spots to potentially fill. And we're likely not gonna find first year starters beyond the 2nd or 3rd.

 

Why are you guys pretending like we're still gonna be an elite team. Unless we make some key signings, we're f*cked and we're gonna finish last in the NFC South.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
