I expect next year to look like 2002 when we bring in an actual NFL coach.  The 01 team had some young pieces but desperately needed a coach to put them in position to win. This team reminds me some of the 01 group.

This team has talent, but that team had championship-level guys 

Smitty > Moore

Peppers > Burns

Buckner > Brown

‘01 Steroid Line > ‘21 Walmart Creatine Line

Morgan > Shaq

We have a young talented team.  Nothing need to be gutted.  We need QB, OL and TE.  We are set.  We will also have a ton of cap space.  You guys are so dramatic.

$29 million is not a ton if you want to sign any of our own FAs. 

I dont recall but I think panthers are like 15 to 18 in cap space

It’s quite hilarious actually if you think about it…. OP is suggestions fire selling a team with a top 2 defense and playmakers on the offense.

 

instead of evaluating gaps and filling them, fug it let’s just create more gaps and figure it out all over again……

Because people are stupid, this teams needs a real coach, and an OL.

I don’t know.  We are one of the youngest teams in the NFL.  Hard to have a fire sale with our roster. 

now we might let a lot of FAs walk.  No Gilmore.  No Reddick.  No Cam.  DJ maybe gone.    

not sure who would want CMC’s contract.  

 

 

I honestly think you bring in a new coach and a they can draft their rookie and go from there. The team is young and imo talented. Look at your guys that could turn into some draft equity (Derrick Brown, Burns) and maybe flip them for picks instead of expensive extensions. Prob don’t spend a bunch of money resigning a guy like Jackson. See if you can get appropriate value for CMC (which at this point is the cap room and probably a 2nd round pick). Then start to build…with a coach who knows how to coach an NFL roster.

It’s going to be more with increase cap and cap carry over from prior year.  We can also redo few contracts.  We can easily spend $50M in free agency.

Moton: convert salary to signing bonus $10M

Resign Shaq: $10M

Resign DJ Moore: $8M

Void Paradis contract $8M (zero dead money)

We will have about $40M in cap plus possible additional $35M with few moves.  So yea, we got a ton of cap space.

That 30M is including increase and carryover. 
 

Keep kicking the can down the road in rebuilding years and you’re never gonna see even mediocre. 
 

DJ Moore has a guaranteed 11M 5th year option. 
 

 Paradis’ voided money is basically dead money. It’s in the total already, but you still have to find  a C still and you’re not getting anything from Paradis for the 8.2M cap hit. 
 

And all the team needs is starters at QB, LT, LG, C, FS, LB, DT and 1 pick to help. How much are these starters going to cost if you can fill all those positions with “around” 40M. Plus pay draft class and any kind of depth.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By Icege · Posted

      Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.

      Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on.

      Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
