That's why he's still on the team. No chance of him taking over. Honestly if you drew a name out of a hat and signed the guy, there's a chance he'd eventually start for this team. An upgrade could happen by accident. So it seems deliberate that no attempt to upgrade has been made.

Also put me in the camp that thinks McDaniel doesn't get a head coaching gig this year. The optics around the Dolphins collapse are very bad. It made him seem unqualified or at least not ready to be a HC by many teams.

Bold strategy Cotton. But seriously sometimes the devil you know is a completely non viable option. There's almost 0 risk going with a different option. If we don't bring in someone else next year I think there's a very high likelihood the team regresses and the house gets cleaned. So its kind of a big deal to the guys running the show right now, whether they realize it or not. We got incredibly fortunate to win 8 games, as we got a lot of bounces this season. Typically the luck index bounces the other way the following season. We'll need more than luck to make it back to the playoffs next year.

They're not gonna fire Brad Idzik after he fixed Bryce you guys.

This is why I like taking another QB super late if you do take a QB really early. It worked out when Washington took Kirk Cousins after RG3. And recently when Purdy was taken with Lance. A 6th or 7th round pick that doesn't make the team isn't gonna kill you. But if you get a low end starter guy out of that its pretty valuable. And it lets you move on if the original pick is a disaster for whatever reason.

Its not that bad of a roster anymore. Its not great but its improved. "Consistent contender" is more about process than current state.

Ehlers

“Is Joe Flacco elite?” Was a great storyline

He would and we shouldn’t have traded him

Blake brockermeyer?

Correct. I think he’s a minus out there. I’m sorry that’s just what I see. That’s what the numbers say.

Reaching out in case he’s taking a year off. The job will likely be open next year

DJ was a good player for us but he is a different style WR. He is more of a YAC guy. Almost a RB playing WR. TMac is a different breed. He's 100% WR. He runs good routes and has a great catch radius. He shows up on 3rd down and in the red zone.

He was a major part of that offense yeah. You know that whole unstoppable 1 yard play they made a name for themselves on? Hurts added value to that offense despite not being an elite passer. He was good enough. Something we have not seen here.

You don't have to be a contrarian about every thing all the time. Or maybe you do. I don't know

DJ Moore was good, but TMac shows more potential through 1 season.

Kevin Donnalley? (spelling)

At worst TMac is the best WR we have picked in 10 years. He might be the best WR to ever play for us when its all said and done.

The circle of life

CMC had a great rookie year. I just think TMac has 1500 yards and 12+ TDs with Cam

Or the real possibility of regressing to the mean and winning 5 games again. We had a lot of bounces this year to hit 8 wins.

Panthers org is healing

Rookie KB was a great fit for Cam's cannon arm. He had a great season but how any receiver could have 1k yards 7 TDs in this offense is almost unfathomable. Yes, even with an extra game (or 2 in KBs case).

Now imagine rookie KB with Bryce.

The WR not having a QB gets graded on a generous curve for me. TMac is more impressive than what CMC did with Cam in 2017 on a 11-5 team.
