Jon Snow

I've noticed that I'm saying "who the hell is that guy?" a lot during the game when the Panthers are in defense.

As long the player is bpa it makes sense. Reaching on a bottom of the 1st at best qb at 4 and possibly 1st overall is how we got here.

Their biggest issue is they cannot stop the run or pass. If they could do at least 1 of those they might have a chance at not getting blown out. They stink at both and this is what you get.

Everytime they did they got burned. It's better that they don't with this group.

So far it looks like the Panthers are the only team in the group that really need a qb. Cleveland can have Sanders and his ego maniac Dad if they want them but I'm not sure they will pull the trigger. I hope the do and it Sanders.

I think the truth lies somewhere in the middle. The players just aren't capable of anything more that what they've learned so far and all of the new guys are just trying to learn the base defense. I'm not sure how you scheme around a lack of experience and skill even if Evero could. I'm not going to lose sleep if he leaves because it would not matter in the grand scheme of things. More talent would help a lot but that takes time.

Too early to decide on extensions for anyone. There's a lot of games left to be played and you have no way of knowing what will play out with these guys. Patience wins in the end.

If you treat this season as an extended preseason it makes it easier to stomach watching. It's experience for the rookies and allows you a more thorough evaluation of your backups against other teams starters. Maybe 1 or 2 nfl level starters develop out of this abomination of a team for next year's attempt at team building.

They have two choices with Hubbard, give him an extension or draft his replacement. Brooks will split carries with Chuba or whoever they replace him with. This team needs two RB's to be successful. You cannot run one back into the ground.

It's probably because they have been there for the last 4 seasons. I expect them to be there for a good while longer.

Some team will take a chance on him. You just have to find one desperate enough to trade something for him. He's here for another season at least. Most likely as qb3 if he is just due to that contract acceleration clause if nothing else.

...and the Lions.

Dan did ok in FA for what he had to work with. I'm sure it's hard to get anyone with options to sign here. It whip be for awhile. But we had to field a full team so it is full of replacements right now. His drafting will take a year or two to flesh out the whole value of those selections. The drafts will make or break his success. Oh, and not making stupid trades or contract extensions.

Don't tell anyone. There's still people who think he's great so they just might be able to trade him for something, anything really.

The bottom is just in sight.

Not bad, not great. Talk to me after the season. There's too much disfunction to make an accurate call.

No restructuring contracts. This team needs to clear up the cap while they still suck. Which appears to be for a long time to go still.

To be fair it's all backups and ps players out there. I expected them to hang at least 60 in us.

Well that went better than I expected.

Agree 100% on all points. The first thing they need to get right is drafting. Until they start hitting on draft picks nothing else will matter. At least clear the cap while they suck.

I just think you will waste the first 2 years of his contract on scrub qb's. I agree you build out the team until you get a qb but I'm not for doing that with giving put big contracts. We've been doing that our entire existence and look where that's gotten us. They are the worst in the league with one of the worst cap situations in the league. At some point you have to stop the bleeding.

I'm just not enamored with what he brings to this team in it's current state. To me it would be a wasted contract without a future qb to develop with him. Until we have that it's just not financially feasible to invest big in receivers when you don't have a qb and probably won't for a couple more seasons yet. I think they should just keep drafting them and let the cream rise to the top. When they do that's who you throw money at.

Paying him now does not remove the worry about LT. I would not extend him until I had to because, as you've seen, you do not know how the season will play out or who may be available in the draft. Patience padawon.

I would try to trade Johnson myself. This team is in no shape to be paying big money to a wr right now. It's time time draft and play those players and take our lumps. Worry about signing our own drafted receiver to a long term contract if we ever draft one worth it.

It was nice while it lasted. But some things could have been avoided. That's all I've got to say about that.
