Believe it or not, the offense was decent last year when the OL was doing its job and we upgraded it.  The offense is not why people here are seeking shelter. 

I am excited about the offense, and I am excited about the OL if we can get something done at C.  WR?  We are much better than last year--our #3 WR now was our #2.   While I think we should have found "that guy" in the draft at WR, it could be simply that our projections are DT, CB, LB.  in the first three rounds.  I swear, it sure smells like Simmons, CB in the second, and a third-round DT to me.  If Marty is in charge, expect him to use that fifth rounder to move up at some point---and if he does not trade back in the first, he should be fired before round 2.  Pretty sure I am off topic by now.

It's not about this season, although I believe we will be more competitive than many believe.  These short term contracts are allowing us to build a core through the draft. In a couple years we will be big players in FA and make our run.

The draft is key.  Marty can take a bow for making first round layups, but his trades and picks on day 2 have been terrible. 

Why is it important to draft well?

1. You have more first year contracts, allowing you to keep core veterans,

2.  Keeping core veterans is important because you know what you are getting in your system.  A free agent is like going to Vegas.

3. By finding better players in the late rounds, your role players get better.  Stars my fill the seats, but the better your role players, the better your special teams and the more resilient you are if an injury occurs.  In addition, competition makes everyone better.

      Are the Panthers still coddling Bryce?

      pretty much this. for anyone with an open mind, it has to be perfectly clear that he proved himself worthy of the starting gig and we're going to be in good shape going forward. the benching was the wake up call/kick in the ass he needed.

      Draft Grades

      D. Tet isn't going to be as good as Moore unfortunately and I still don'tthink this team has a good enoufh WR room after consecutive#1 picks. I really wish we didn't keep Evero and it looks like we got more of 'his guys'. Unimpressive TE and WR. I like they took another NT. It wasn't an impressive draft and the level of talent they brought in looks low again. Just more of then same but on the upside they didn't waste future picks to get anyone.

      Should I buy the huddle?!?

      I am migrating this site off our current server and onto a cloud based server the board developers recommend. Everything on the backend is getting upgraded and the forum software will be brought up to date.    The database for this joint is absolutely huge, I've told them they can prune anything over a year old to help make it more manageable.    As such, by training camp this joint should be ready to enjoy a brand new season..... For about 2 weeks until it becomes clear again we still suck.    Rejoice!
