1000% disagree. One is an elite center and the other is a bottom 10 center. The difference will be extreme. No shade to Mays, would love to keep him around as our utility IOL but he has never played above an average level and that is him balling out.

Buffalo has a much worse roster than Carolina's (besides the QB, obviously). Swap BY and JA and the Panthers go 14-3 and the Bills go 4-13. Two disgruntled AFC QB's in Burrow and Allen, but there is no way those teams let those players go. You never know, though. I'd easily give 3 first round picks for either

Could be McDermott pushed heavily for Coleman. I've heard the "it was a collaborative decision" line after firing a coach before though. They may win the short term PR game with this decision but the onus is still on them to hire not just a new head coach but one that will get them not just into the playoffs but the Super Bowl.

I don't know... Jayden Higgins, Jaylin Noel, Xavier Hutchinson, Christian Kirk and Dalton Schultz aren't bad. I'd definitely take that over Carolina's group. We have a few good young individuals, but no real veteran presence. That squad is gonna be bonkers, particularly when Nico and Tank return.

Well there is that thing where Moose left on his own accord and we told DJ his value to us was worth like, Bryce’s left leg maybe. Shipped him out for that.

The zip is what I am talking about. I didn't seem him delivering most of those throws with NFL velocity. Or not frequently enough. Like I said, I only saw a few games so maybe it isn't a big enough sample size but he seemed like a fairly classic "college good" QB to me.

Therein lies the problem. Doing so has propelled us to the most expensive group in the league. And if we hadn't signed them in all likelihood the company line would be that our QB needs better protection. But the argument could be made that without those signings we could have upgraded the defense much more. $153 million is no chump change.

I think you guys are vastly underestimating the power that McDermott had. Terry Pegula, during his presser, said outright that Keon Coleman was NOT BEANE'S next choice. Beane gave into the coaching staff because it was a collaboration. That's what Pegula said. Now we'll likely never know which picks were Beane's and which picks were McDermott's, but suffice it to say that there is a reason McDermott was fired. Pegula basically said that he thought they had hit a wall with all the almost-wins-turned-losses, and he thought that they needed a change. Pegula also addressed the narrative about Beane making some type of power play. He flat out said that had Beane done that, he would've been fired on the spot. For anyone that's interested, it was a compelling interview to watch or listen to.

his attitude might be just that bed. A new age Jeff George.

I think the last 2 seasons have been good examples of why you don't spend heavy in FA. Lewis and Hunt are good players, but they certainly haven't transformed the oline into the juggernaut we thought it'd be. They're ok. Wharton, Patrick Jones and Bobby Brown have been good in spots. But they didn't transform the Dline into some unmovable force. And all of the above have been bitten by the injury bug. Maybe a pass rush specialist for 3rd downs only. That seems to be the biggest problem with the defense - getting off the field on 3rd down, no matter the distance. Well that and the DC backing the secondary 10 yards past the first down marker. Bring in a starter level ILB and a pass rush specialist on defense. Bring in a speed WR on offense and quality oline depth, particularly interior oline. Draft BPA. Every position is open. Even QB. Hate to put all our eggs into the Hendrickson basket, forego all the other needs, and then he gets injured. I agree he could make the team better, but I'm the guy that would rather have two or three 7s, than one 10.

I'd honestly rather just extend Cade Mays rather than pay what it'd take to sign Tyler Linderbaum.

I meant with the office politics and having the ear of the owner. he knifed Fox, got fired, somehow slunk back into the role after serving as an “advisor,” got the job back with a different owner, hired Matt Rhule before finally being sent to the glue factory. fuging worm tongue poo

I can see that. Hurney was bad bad but he did hit on more studs than just Cam in the early rounds. Beane gets credit for Allen but really he just got lucky because Allen's development easily could have gone the other way without the coaching he had.

Stupid. I haven't found any more enjoyment from the 17th game, 18th is even more unnecessary.

Stroud is at a career crossroads. Certainly not the first young quarterback to face such circumstances and heavy criticism. Certainly won't be the last. I must say though the knives that are out for him already with a 3-2 career playoff record at 24 years old when others have been given passes for both playing poorly and not going to the playoffs at all or losing playoff games and still being propped up by the media is an interesting look. Seems inconsistent. Anywho I guess we might as well prepare for paying our guy $30+ million a year when he couldn't complete one single pass in four downs in our stadium going up against a 37 year old QB.

Their greed is out of control.

I feel like this is closer to Hurney. wonder where beane learned it.

I’d take Bryce’s gay little lisp and meaningless fluff over everything CJ is saying right now. my god bro shut the fug up where are your friends

Hey Roger, Thailand, Thailand, Thailand.... Nope. No Thailand. Must be a mistake on the schedule. Sincerely, Bob.

If we need a vet QB hire a real QB coach instead of some jabroni as a favor to someone else. Other than that it should always always be about developing the possible next man up in the event of unforseen circumstances.

Check out the rant by PK Subban about the culture difference between NHL and NBA. Now while this doesn't necessarily apply to the players, I think it applies to the owners. The owners are losing touch with the fans and it's becoming more about money than the people that pay to watch it. Conversely, it's why Banana Ball league become such a huge success. It's a fan driven sport that people get to immerse themselves in. Football is losing that in a hurry and owners like Kraft will keep true home grown fans away if it keeps up.

These are recommendations Some are stop gaps. Some potential long term. Panthers need both 1. Chargers edge Odafe Oweh 2 chiefs linebacker Leo Chenal 3 cardinals LT Kelvin Beachum (1 year stop gap) 4 Ravens center tyler linderbuam (My comment, if he is available Let Mayes walk) 5. eagles Safety Blankenship

As a Panthers fan I know what incompetence and doubling down on mistakes looks like. The Bills are fools for not just going ahead and cleaning house. Already seen that scenario play out with Fitterer. And it will end the same way for them.

Ive watched every snap he has played and the dude has a howitzer CJ Bailey is noted for having impressive, "elite" arm strength with the ability to "push the ball downfield with ease," consistently completing deep shots with high yards-per-attempt, and threading tight windows with velocity, making him a modern NFL-caliber quarterback prospect with no significant arm strength concerns, per 247Sports, The Duke Chronicle, and Trinity Road Times. He's described as a "twitchy thrower" with long limbs, capable of making difficult throws under pressure and creating plays off-schedule, demonstrating both power and placement. Key Aspects of CJ Bailey's Arm Strength: Deep Ball Prowess: He ranks highly among Power Four quarterbacks for deep shot attempts, averaging significant yards per attempt, showing he can easily get the ball downfield. Velocity & Zip: He delivers throws with "requisite zip," layering the ball over defenders and hitting receivers in stride, notes Write For California. Tight Windows: Bailey successfully challenges tight windows and places the ball well, even when layering it over multiple defenders, say Write For California and 247Sports. Off-Schedule Plays: He can make throws with power and accuracy even when scrambling and creating his own space, showing advanced arm talent, notes 247Sports. In short, Bailey possesses the arm talent expected of a high-level modern quarterback, able to generate both power and touch to make all throws, say 247Sports, The Duke Chronicle, and Trinity Road Times.

He has gunslinger tendencies but I am telling you, I don't see a high caliber NFL arm. It's very, very average or below.
