How about all of them? I think the Jackson trade was the only one that was clearly good. The rest are meh.

Evero isn't nearly as good as some around here think. Playing Chinn at FS was a giant red flag. Dude took over a good D and it regressed while here he hasn't built anything for the next guy worth trying to prop up or anything much to blow up either. He is a jag coach and little more.

IDK, having issues with Williams is fine with me and I don't blame him on that front. Very weird he left the play but it also looked like he hopped a bit, too uncertain. I have no problem with a guy who hates to lose but he should have asked for a trade before signing the extension that makes it very difficult to move him for a while. It was 4 months after they traded Fields so that's weird. IDK what's going on but at 27 mil a year makes it worse for the Bears and I am happy to see that.

There doesn't seem to be anyone on the roster worth mentoring. I feel bad for him. What a waste of an end of a career. Him being the only legit passrush has to be the cause of him staying because any compensation would have very little regardless.

It's his 4th year and he is a backup. Great to have but he isn't healthy enough to make me want to see a long term deal. I don't get BC. Physically talented but he kept getting beat by competition at so many different spots. They need more rookie contracts on the online with Ickey coming up for his payday.

A project is fine. A pack of them has been an issuenfor sure. I just think most rookie QBs are projects at this point, some can start and others need to sit But you won't really know until they get in and start working with a professional crew vs the part time gig as a student athlete.

Because Young is so historically bad that it just skews too far outside the normal deviations that perspective is easily lost. That or they just don't want to believe it. The struggles last year would have been more about the infighting and poor roster building or idiot owner's hiring practices than with Stroud. He wouldn't have been as good but he wouldn't have been ruined here and the pressure was not Carr-esk if you take out the Young created portion from his playing style. Dude is a young guy on a team coached by a Defensive guy building a good D but not building up the O in year 2 of his HC 1st time gig. Seems familiar... Go look at his output this year and not just some crappy Thursday night implosion game, I would take that in a second and never ever look back every time without a shred of doubt while eating 4 of those games a year with a giant smile on my face.

He looks the part. Not perfect but very enticing. Looks like a guy that can be coached up.

Trade AT and a 7th while eating his cap while just ending up with a roster space?

I do wonder how it changes by team. Do teams that draft well draft that much better while teams that draft like us bring those % down to those averages? QB in the 1st is a pretty obvious one for people who don't want to pick another 1st round QB next year. Like it or not that is the reality of the situation.

We don't need to know what % was his fault last year because it was all bad enough to know to not sign up for more of it. Look at the stuff he was directly responsible for being the point man on, the pro-personnel, and the stuff he was involved in should tell you enough. If you have to discount it to make it look better than you already knew the answer. It's just making excuses for all of those people. Hoping something changes while discounting the work they already done here has proven to be a losing strategy every time so far. Maximus Copius Bulshitetus i think is the Latin name for that phenonium.

We should have just traded Jackson for a late 5th or 6th and called it a win. Johnson was a known entity when we traded for him and it was stated that brining in a disgruntled WR in a contract year when there isn't a QB worth starting on the team was a bad idea by multiple posters here. That's on Morgan 100% for wasting all that cap and ending up in this situation. Also, it is a good look getting him to a good place. That's the only win here for the Panthers and they need all the help they can get when it comes to perception of guys in free agency and such.

The college level is no longer producing to the standards that makes it worth calling it a feeder league anymore. Just make an NFL developmental league for guys below the 3 year HS cutoff and tell the NCAA to kick rocks. The QBs that are good enough for that level vs the NFL is getting comically bad. If the NFL can't develop guys who played at that level for 3 years in less than 2 years then it's just a failed system at this point. Pay everyone a minimum and the schools couldn't compete, guys would have plenty of money to pay for their own tuition.

I wouldn't focus on a Thursday games too much. They are the the worst product pushed by the NFL, well except the Panthers. That and the Europe games are such a substandard product but even those get a full week. I would still take a player with the ability to play in the NFL over a guy who peaked in school any day and even on a dead end team like the Panthers.

Win-win. The trade was lame AF but he had to go given his situation.

Yup. Just not the expensive guys on day 1 unless you're a playoff team looking for that big missing piece. Looking for elite guys in free agency on a bottom team is a good way to stay at the bottom. Got to hit on those 6 to 10 million guys more as contributors around the draft picks to build up the team first. IMO that did terrible with that this year.

They are divisional rivals. The Saints had their way with them when healthy on game one. They know the game plan. Their D can't be worse than ours. They played Denver 2 weeks ago and gave up 256/122 and we gave up 298/102 Sunday. Seems similar.

Saint will play another game where they look great. Unlike Denver they will keep blitzing until garbage time.

He already did in Arizona with Rosen. The only year as a HC and that literally already happened. They also picked his staff almost completely vs whatever the fug last years approach is categorized as.

Yeah he has a limit when dealing with speed rushers for sure. Still to check off LT with a solid player is a win. Especially on a team desperate for talent. He has been solid this year vs last year. I don't think it's that bad but he needs to keep working for sure.

It's not looking good. And I don't even feel sorry for him at this point. One CB trade doesn't stack up well with all the other mess he either helped with or headed. I can't honestly say anything he beings to that table other than being a loved past player. Nothing.

Ickey looks worse with young because he is asked to kickout way further than with Dalton. That opens up the inside because he is always looking to have to do that. He doesn't look to be a HOF guy but he is serviceable when the QB isn't doing 7+ step drops and bailing on clean pockets. Having the run game shut down also takes a huge dent in the improvement of that unit. I love having talent on the lines but spending big on day one of free agency isn't really a recipe for success. Building around OGs isn't either which is why both made it to free agency.

LOL he makes a meeting to meddle and then still meets with them at other times in the week per Frank, well the 'meetings'. It's not like some hypothetical. That's my point. I wish he would chill but given what we are seeing and hearing it does not sound that way. Again, that's not who Tepper is and that isn't how he does his thing.

No to RB. You can literally pick a good one up when you need it. Just look at Philly and Baltimore. The 49ers rented the best one and effectively replaced him already with an UDFA from 2022. I like Hubbard but we should be selling.
