lavar703 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Just now, LoganF89 said: Truly think most of you all are over reacting right now. What are our positions of need the most? WR- only one top guy has signed, that being Davis. Then you got less talented guys like Bourne and Agholor CB- as far as I’m concerned Darby is the only decent one who has signed with a team. Yeah he outplayed his contract but also was the first time he ever played a full 16. You can put another guy in his spot with the pressure we get up front LB- yes this is a huge need but outside of Jayon is there really a bunch of guys we could target as a high profile guy? You could argue KJ Wright but he’s up there in age and isn’t what he used to be FS- there’s been some safeties signed but this is a position we can get a bargain on with how saturated the market is with them. Not to mention mid rounds of the draft. coll yalls Jets! I mean, not having a QB is a major problem too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 18 minutes ago, lavar703 said: So let’s be realistic here, what happens if this season goes bad? Depends on what version of "bad" you are envisioning. If they go 5-11, that would only be a two game worse performance, so Rivera probably survives but is on the hot seat. If they go 3-13 or worse, he's probably canned. 19 minutes ago, lavar703 said: If Snyder is still around does he stay out of things? I think he would, barring him falling in love with a player. 20 minutes ago, lavar703 said: If a new owner comes in and we have a bad season are we to realistically expect him to keep Rivera and the Carolina crew around? Again, depends on how bad "bad" is. If I were the new ownership group, I would give the current administration a year to turn it around before I would go looking to make changes ... unless it was an unmitigated disaster. Yes, the product on the field might not be that good, but the off-field stuff has somewhat disappeared. 21 minutes ago, lavar703 said: I just don’t understand what they’re doing?

This might be a good sign that they feel they’re in the mix for a better player. Well, yes, but given that KPL just went for $8M total, that's a bit disconcerting. EDIT: I'm sure he'll be able to find another guy for 1y/$2M to be a drop-in starter. It happens all the time.

Darby and KPL have departed day one of negotiating. Scherff is on a franchise tag. If they don't plan to sign anyone to a large contract, they can get an extension done with Jon Allen. They did spend $2.5M on Hopkins! #nothelping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won’t give a 27-year old who was basically your most consistent corner $10M a year but we’ll pay a 38-year old QB going on his 9th team $12M lol. Rivera will be gone in two seasons. I’m calling it now. This is why you don’t hire retreads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naptownskinsfan Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Please don't make us lock this thread......when we get a signing that is related to our team, it needs to go into a thread. Here is the one I split out for Fitzpatrick- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as Fitz 1- 12 million is nothing for a QB 2- Ron wasn’t about to get in the business of trading 3 1’s plus for a Deshaun or Russ 3-Hes the ultimate bridge QB and the offense can actually function with him. Personally I wanted Darnold, and my first reaction was oh god no, but this team isn’t asking much from its QB. Defense will carry the day. Do I want the position locked up for a decade? Of course, but Fitz can succeed here for a year or 2. Edited March 16, 2021 by bigdog44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
