Everyone said ok now we got moose he will free up smitty, no more triple coverages. Ok true but our passing game and play calling and routes are straight from the 70's. There is no reason that when we come out in a 4 wr set we have smitty and moose on opposite sides and king and rosario in the slots. What can king and roasrio possibly do to be a down field threat? We need jarrett, smith, moose and a playmaking te out there, a gates, a winslow a gonzalez thats why I was pissed we didnt jump on it when kc was trading gonzo. A TE of that caliber adds so much to your bunch sets and iforms just carve up the middle of the field on streaks, fades etc. A lb can cover king or rosario 1 on 1, they cant cover a great TE like gates, winslow or gonzo 1 on 1 forcing a safety up top, which by its self frees up smitty (cant keep rodgers down low and rolle up top the whole game on smit) and the run game than you look at moose on the other side. I just dont get it why we always have to have these full back/ tes out there for run blocking (yes good at it) but they cant make plays on the recieving end or seperate from anyone. Our only downfield threat is smith and thats it. Id love for us to invest on the TE position its a whole new dimension.

Guys like Winslow, Gates, and TG don't come around very often. That's why you could only name 3. Less than 10% of teams have that type of playmaking TE. We need tight ends who can block. That's what we got.

They're good at it.

Don't tell me, either, that "well we can bring King and Rosario to block, too." And you think we're predictable now? Everytime a team saw that our superstar, hall-of-fame-bound tight end was subbing out for King or Rosario......RUN!!!

yea but whos looking to be shipped? gonzo and winslow. And no I dont think we would be more predictable, because even if we show run and than pass with king and rosario its ineffective. Put king and TG out there and see how much more effective our passing game is from the iform, strong i etc.

      Exactly the type of thing he would have done here. The excuse people were stannin’ so hard claiming he would have looked just as bad. Just not true.

      It's not just the Panthers... the NFL sucks at developing young QBs "it's a systemic problem"

      Yes and there aren't 32 starting QBs in the league either. Too many teams and too many games. The NFL has regressed over the years and game quality is lacking. The other leagues are supposed to be farm leagues but it doesn't matter. You just won't have 32 no matter what they do. The move to super athletes playing QB at all levels has lead to this. It used to be those guys played other positions but now they are QBs who can't really QB.  It has a trickle down effect too. OL can't block because they never had to. The fact that in today's game your QB must be able to run at least a little to survive is evidence of this as well. IMO they have ruined the game same as with the NBA. It's been simplified to the point of being boring.  Just look at the top 10 this season. Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs) Joe Burrow (Bengals) Josh Allen (Bills) Lamar Jackson (Ravens) Dak Prescott (Cowboys) Jalen Hurts (Eagles) Brock Purdy (49ers) Jordan Love (Packers) Justin Herbert (Chargers) Matthew Stafford (Rams) Once we get to number 5 the stats look like this: 167 262 1,845 63.7 7.0 10 8 65 18 84.5   47.5   10 TDs and 8 INTs??? At number 5??? There was a time not that long ago that he wouldn't even be a starter.

      I'm not convinced that the NFL is any better or worse at developing QBs now than they were 20 years ago.  I mean I'm sure there are some developmental issues at play, just not sure it is any different than it has been. The biggest difference IMO is that NFL teams are waaaaaaaay more willing to invest a 1st round pick into a QB now than they were 15-20 years ago.  A guy like Colin Kaepernick would probably be a top 5 pick in 2025, whereas he went in the 2nd in 2011.  Would a guy like Trey Lance go top 3 in 2010?  Hell no.  Look at Russell Wilson - he didn't go until the 3rd round.  The standard for being a 1st round QB has dropped. So it may seem like we're seeing more high-profile busts at the position, but we're also seeing teams reach for QBs way more than they have in the past.  Someone with Anthony Richardson's college resume doesn't go in the top 3 20 years ago.
