Questions that must be asked.

1. Why did we extend Cmac when he had years (plural) on his contract?

2. Why did we extend Anderson when he had a year left on his and we spent a high pick on a wr in the draft and with Moore coming up as well?

3. Why did we pick up the 5th year option on Darnold?

4.  Why didnt we address the oline in the draft?

 

 

I am sure there are more but those are burning questions for me as we sit going down the tubes.  For a brief minute it seemed like we were ahead of schedule in getting out from some bad deals but damn we are on the hook for a few more years with some dead weight. 
 

 

 

1.  Because when healthy he is one of the best offensive players in the game.  And we don't have a crystal ball to tell us he would get injured 

2.  Questionable move no doubt…however Robbie was fantastic last season

3.  Because we didn't have a QB

4.  They addressed the CB position which was a glaring need before the draft.  Horn looked damn good before the injury too

PR move. Panthers needed some fluff to celebrate because they knew the upheaval releasing Cam would cause.

Then we should’ve let cmc hold out and tried to trade him. His value was at its highest after a 1k 1k season. That’s what smart orgs do. Actually what smart orgs do is not draft rbs in the top ten lol

Because this franchise is the Browns south.  That’s why.  

Yet for some odd reason you love it here.

We are Jets South….Bills are Panthers North

nah, Bills currently have B2B winning seasons, something we still have never achieved.  So their us, but better.

We should have shitcanned Hurney and let Beane become the GM here the moment they got word he was considering leaving to Buffalo.

These are all valid questions, brother.

I like Robby, but I would have much rather lost him in free agency and moved CMC to receiver to prolong his career.

Our RB rotation would still be solid and you can always find rotational RBs in free agency/undrafted guys.

As far as the oline. We passed on very good offensive linemen, & when we drafted Brady Christensen he was hyped up as a “steal” by our guys. Baffling that he can’t crack the rotation with this group of guys.

I think that speaks to how bad Rhule and his guys are at scouting offensive linemen.

Well this doesnt make any sense because Beane was hired may 2017 while Gettleman was still here. Dave wasn't let go untill that july. So Hurney wasnt anywhere in the picture yet.

Not that I  have any way to prove or back this up but I really feel like they planned all along to give Darnold 2 seasons to get the benefit of an offseason (hopefully) more focused on the offensive line unless the bottom absolutely falls out.  There was probably also an element of making sure there was *someone* at QB who was not PJ Walker next year.  I also still do think that if a premier QB falls into the Panthers laps that 2nd year might be a year as the backup.  

To the OL in the draft - they kinda did.  They just didn't do it the way we wanted or, apparently, very effectively (though BC didn't look that awful).

Oh well pardon me.  Point still stands, they shoulda shitcanned Gettleman and made Beane GM.  Didn't they end up firing Gettleman the next year anyways?

They fired him 2 months later in july after Beane was hired by Buffalo.

Yeah, I live here and I pull for the home team.  Doesn’t mean I have to love the franchise.

Why did we pick up darnold 5th year option and why did we give Anderson a new deal?
