Narrative Check: The Roster is "Close"

[rmoneyg35]

No our roster isn’t close. Lots of holes, not many stars. Burns is probably our only star on defense. Horn could be a star, but young. Shaq is above average,Luvu the same. Brown might be a solid starter. Chinn cam be good if moved back to linebacker or played to his strengths. Jackson is a sold 2 cb. The rest are back ups. Our offense has CMC, DJ, Moton. Icky has potential to be great. Corbett and Christensen are solid starters. 

 

we don’t have enough stars to be good, if we could get a good qb and a DE then I think we could cover up a lot of holes we have.

Under Fitterer we've given up a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th -  nearly an entire draft - for Darnold, Mayfield and CJ Henderson. Big contracts to players like Ian Thomas, Elflein and Cam Erving. We've handed out one of the worst contracts in the entire league BOTH years he's been GM.

I know a lot of people are in "EvRYthInG iS RHule fauLT!!!111" mode but Fitt is garbage and needs to follow Rhule out the door.

If we keep him (which we probably will) we're only wasting time with trash offseason moves and fielding subpar teams every year until he's gone.

You seem to be assuming the power structure has been like a normal team. These moves WERE Rhule. I’m sure Fitterer was involved to some degree but it was Rhule that wanted those guys and at most Fitterer was just the one directed to get them.

a solid RB can be found in the 3rd round or so. The run game is schemable to be sufficient moreso than other positions)

I was on the fence, but you've made some compelling arguments that we should trade CMC to the highest bidder. I'm on board.

[Move the Panthers to Raleigh]

“Close” was just a bullshit Rhule excuse. Was it not? Did you actually believe him when he said it?

[Ocpanthertew714]

I don't believe we are "close", however I do believe we have some foundational pieces to build off of for our new HC. I do think it will be a pivotal draft for us in 2023 in terms of drafting a franchise qb.

Never understood why @davosis such a devoted DJ Moore hater. Look at what he's done with trash QBs and tell me he's not a WR1.

That's a weird observation--I quite love the dude.  I am just very WR hungry and want a more dynamic arsenal.  Never really had a targeted hate towards him so don't know where that's coming from.

I just think we need more guys and don't think the team should rest on this idea that everything is in place but a QB and coach.  I just don't buy it.  The overall WR room is nothing special and I think it's become more important than ever when looking at (most) successful models right now.

I’d hate to see him go but if we can get a good return, like a first (or if it is indeed the Bills or another team that’s going to have a low pick , a first and a decent young player or a mid round) then it would be the smart move.

You mean Adams who through 4 weeks was on pace for less than 1100 yards. Yeah life isn’t so easy when you don’t have a elite QB. 
 

If Moore played with Rodgers his would average 1500 yards a year.

Adams already has 5 tds, which is one more than DJ has ever had in a season. 

You are still stuck on yards, tds win games, not yards.

CMC to Buffalo for their 1st and James Cook.  I'll get on board.

Steve Smith averaged 5 TD a season. Hard to get a bunch of TD when your on a run heavy team with bad QB play
