Gross -  maybe had one good year left but that is doubful given his age

 

Smitty - 35 year old guy in the last year or two of his career - lst year undr 60 catches and 800 yards- noting special in the number 1 or even number 2 WR category - last game he hurt and may be not coming back from that injury in any significant way

 

Rest of the o lineman - bunch of back up type players most in them also old old old  - no big loss

 

Ginn - return specialist - had a few good catches last season - not anything special

 

Hixon - one catch of note all year that looked like a play run with him as a substitute  Armanti Edwards - no loss

 

so what are you fools crying about with 6 months left to go before the season starts?

Outside of Gross (nothing we could do) and Smitty (no one really knows why it happened) everyone we have lost is very replaceable. And matching the offers they got from other teams would be the most Hurney thing we could do. Doing that kind of stuff is why we have no money right now. Just be patient. It's March 13.

26th ranked offense**

Serviceable S and CB that played behind the best front 7 in football**

All replaceable.

With what, exactly? 5 million and 7 draft picks? Optimistically that's maybe 9-10 players, and not all are starters.

Meanwhile, while we cut half our starters everyone else is upgrading.

Ginn, Mitchell, Captain were all making pennies. Same with Mikell. No one else wanted them and we paid pennies.

You don't have to drop big contracts or get big money guys to win. We are a prime example.

 

Remember the Summer where we drop huge deals left and right to keep the gang together. Like everyone wanted. It screwed us. It's why can't spend much money now.

So, if it's so easy give me all the players we can sign with our current situation to adequately fix our holes and return to the playoffs.

I'm not an NFL GM so I can't answer that question. If you asked my that question at this time last year there is no way I'm throwing out Mitchell, Mikell, Ginn, Hixon.

Smith and Gross probably won't be replaced until the draft.

Munnerlyn, Mitchell, Ginn, Lafell, Hixon are all rather easily replaceable and I expect them to be replaced at some point in FA.

In other words: I ain't worried.

And by the way, of the second list of players only two weren't complained about over and over.

Ginn - because we were so use to him being a bust

And Mitchell because we were pleasantly surprised.

And lastly of the list of players we let walk most people here would have complained if we offered them the contract they eventually signed.

Pay Mitchell 5yrs 25 mil? No thanks

Pay Captain 3yrs 15 mil? No thanks

      Panthers OLB Pat Jones II makes bold claim about team's defense

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.

      We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
