Dolphins Next, What kind of team is this?

The only trade less understandable than KB was Ajayi going to the Eagles for a 4th round pick. 

 

Jay Ajayi was their bell cow. 138 rushes, 2nd best Rusher had 12 carries... They trade him away for a mid round pick. Jay Cutler has thrown for half the yards of Cam Newton. Now Matt Moore is playing...

 

Are they hoping to give up on the season? Get a high draft pick? They are 4-3 and just shed their best offensive chain mover. Should we expect their best on Monday?

If we allow the Dolphins to score even 3 points our defense should be ashamed. Their OL is easily the worst in the league, their QB play is horsesh*t, they had no run game even with Ajayi let alone without, and they don't have a single real threat at WR. Their D isn't terrible but they also aren't all that great either. Suh could be a problem for us, but we handled him back when he was with the Lions and the Donky Kong scandal happened, so I'm not too worried.

Granted, I was confident going into the Bears game, but I think we should be able to handle the Dolphins.

The Bears game was a couple of fluky plays and otherworldly doodoo.  Not gonna happen again at home on MNF.

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
