I don't find it surprising at all tbh, the canes always have a slump at some point during the regular season just like they always have a mega winning streak or two, the regular season means nothing to me at this point.

Not gonna lie kinda crazy that I'm only two back from first place considering I've only placed maybe 10 picks this year

For me it's gonna be a show me these kind of numbers in the playoffs.....

When he is consistent I may drink the cool aid again but not now

Yeah the bucs cheifs superbowl he gave of 3 sacks

Idk he got Patrick mahomes beat to hell in a SB too

No no it isn't lol. Just enjoy the ride because the meltdown will be worse

Two in a row for me

With a short QB I tend to feel guards are more valuable than tackles.

Agreed. Although I would have sent Burns instead of Moore.... I don't understand sending the second best receiver your franchise has ever drafted when your taking a rookie QB.

Glad to see you admit it, I was all for it and pointed it out repeatedly! Lol Last years investment will be even better this year with a season playing together under their belts.

Why wonder we have all seen what will happen twice now mid season firing and a dumpster

Depends on what kind of draft we have imo. I think our offense gets better this year (if for no other reason the line now has a full season of continuity). With the additions on defense health pending of course we should be much much better against the run, Brown-Brown-Robison on early downs is gonna be STOUT. Rosewood and Moerig should help cut down on long runs. I could see anywhere from 8 to 10 wins if we stay healthy.

Burns 9 sacks a year were 100% not worth the paycheck he got (not to mention he's not a consistent pass rush but a guy who has an outburst game or two) Trading him was the right move they just should have traded him instead of Moore or taken the 2 1sts from the rams.

THIS RIGHT HERE absolutely insane for a guy who hasn't completed a season and had only played in 54% of the games in his CAREER

People have to remember we are a 3-4 base now, average weight for them is around 285 not 310+ like a traditional 4-3 DT, he's also a little on the shorter side (most of the best 3 and five techniques in the last 20 years have been) gives them a lower center of gravity.

Rolling with Aho

I OFFICIALLY HATE THE HORNETS I UNDERED TRAE YOUNG so what do they do? FOUL HIM 11 times in the fourth quarter and he gets 28 points from free throws

I think Witherspoon was better than Shaq my panthers comp would be James Anderson

Much better, way better sideline to sideline speed in all the rams games I saw than Jewell he stood out always around the ball.

Honestly you are welcome to your opinion, it's silly to me. As for the bolded how often do longer contracts work out with running backs look no further than Sanders had he been a one year deal we wouldn't have had two extra seasons of sunk costs. And there is the truth of it you are in love with this year's draft class of running backs.... Which I'm gonna point out that we aren't taking a RB in round 1 no matter what so Judkins is out, Jeaty too. From rounds 3 and on there is still a good chance we take a back we still only have 3 healthy backs and one is practice squad fodder. Hampton, Skattebo may well be options. Final point, YOU put way to much value on running backs.... outside of the top 2-3 in the NFL they are largely plug and play.

No one is "banking on him" first off Chuba is the bell cow when needed, second miles Sanders running behind the best offensive line in the NFL and coming in behind out awful 2023 line should have been expected (i expected it) even with the eagles he had the worst vision in a rb I've ever seen. VS Dowdle running behind a cowboys line that was 20 spots behind us in run block rating. Also it's 2025 dude two ACL tears is doesnt mean squat we had a legendary LB I memba beary that came back from 3 consecutive ACL tears to get 2 all pros and I pro bowls. A 22 year old with limited carries in college isnt a write off by a long shot. Heck Gurley tore two ACLS IN COLLEGE. But yeah no one is banking on anything seeing as we have a durable 26 year bell cow back...

I along with pretty much every one else disagree with you only 2.75m garenteed the draft is rightfully going to focus on defense and it's a bridge to get our 2nd round rb healthy.

Based on the numbers included in the earlier post I don't see how he's largely average top ten in pretty much all punting metrics. And dude he's a freaking punter The average starting punter is 30.5 years old and most play well until 40.

It's gonna he a rotation, I suspect we will be greatly improved agaist the run *if healthy* knocks on wood. Meaning we get hit with more passing but predictable passing.... leading to more rush opportunities
