I love Mayer's game!  In three years at Notre Dame he never once turned the ball over, either, despite 180 receptions.

Im glad your still here @Buckeye Homer, sorry it didn't work out for CJ, I wanted him or bryce so I'm content. I think CJ is going to a good spot though, great coach.

I really hope we don't make the Cam mistake again. "Oh, this guy is so good he doesn't need any help so we can spend all our resources on defense now!"

I mean we signed two WRs a TE and a RB. The reality is we have bigger needs on defense right now. We are changing our scheme and could use CB, LBs and a 3-4 DE. 
 

On offense, OG is the biggest need now and it’s not really a huge one. We don’t have a star WR but there isn’t one in the draft and we have a solid group heading into the season. TE is possible but I think defense is where we would be better off going in general

We have bandaids, I'm not sure we have any long-term solutions. Thielen is 32 and is on the decline. Chark is talented but is usually injured. TMJ will hopefully develop. On paper, this is definitely a bottom 10 NFL WR corps. Hurst is a former 1st round bust who is knocking on the door of 30. Three teams in five years basically putting up good backup caliber stats. I honestly think we significantly overpaid him.

Fug that mentality.   

We need to grow Bryce with the best  weapons we can get him.  We got an assemble of guys who aren’t likely to be long term fixtures and/or just solid. 

It’s an offensive league.  Burrow, Mahomes, etc grew with the best 1-2 weapons arguably in the NFL.   Weapons matter.  And look at a Trevor or Tua last year.  Change the weapons and it changes the QB.  And they still not giving Trevor what he needs to really grow and go. 

but yeah, I’ve felt they would go D. They should snag a speedster WR or equip us to go heavy 2 TE.

Look, I agree that these aren’t the weapons to serve BY throughout his Panthers career, but I think the signings show intent. This is a significantly better WR group than Cam ever had while he was here to be honest.

The problem with just being determined to get him weapons is the value left in this draft. There’s genuine day 1 starters on the defensive side of the ball where we need help. You have very few players on the offensive side of value other than OG. Michael Mayer probably is value now, but the WR class in the draft is just pretty weak. At this point you are looking at Downs, Mingo and Hyatt and they are probably all more 3rd round level talents in your average draft class. 
 

In short, I think the bandaid is fine this year. Of course we need to get BY weapons but I would rather get a 1st round talent on defense at 39 than a 3rd round talent on offense. I think we can make due this year with what we have.

Though to be honest, I would REALLY love Torrence or Avila. My ideal pick would be one of those guys. I’m all for just going ahead and making this offensive line the best we have ever had.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By strato · Posted

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      By Manna · Posted

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
