It would be that 2nd AND the free agent dollars. For instance would you rather have him or a top 3-4 free agent wr and a second round WR? for a guy like Julio or brown I strongly consider a move. For Anderson I’m less interested. As to the age argument- I’m not terribly convinced of Anderson’s longevity in this league

Its pretty boring. You can claim the first $75k of property value tax free on one property. If you’ve ever wondered why Nola’s infrastructure is a mess, it all makes sense when you see how many properties produce zero revenue. Post Katrina property values spiking helps though.

Are you trying to set Kirby up for cows in the bedroom jokes?

Seems we have quite a few new decision makers though, no?

Our organization or the panthers?

We are officially in the “win now” window and no longer the “be young and cheap”

Really went out on a limb there, eh?

I don’t recall if my final over/under was 5.5 or 6.5... either way... was about what I expected. Weak line and receivers made it tough to judge whether allen is the guy- roughly again what I expected. mccoy likely about done. Not a shocker, pros: solid defense. Allen didn’t show us he’s not the guy.

Would be a hell of a super bowl story line

According to Wikipedia: Collins is now the Offensive Coordinator for the Walpole High School varsity football team

Its a terrible metric, but ok. at some level soooomeone is going to catch passes. Even a historically bad passing offense is going to complete a few hundred passes. That zay has been healthy and a starter makes it hard not to get 40 catches. Frankly, as a healthy starter he should be much higher

You do understand that PFF is attemptinfto normalize across the league to take things like throwaways and bad receiver play out of the stat line? Obviously impossible to do perfectly but seems meaningful that in all metrics across all types of throws he’s demonstrating similarly low rankings.

Have you read the board? The fan base is generally sold.

I guess feel free to share one of those

Flip side- if allen is the dude, hitting that list perfectly become far less essential

I can’t wait til next year when if something goes wrong we will have posters arguing this was the tear down year and next year is the first year rebuilding

more importantly if we take the hit this year we are just carrying over less cap. It’s taking money out of one pocket and putting it in your other and thinking you changed your net worth.

Edelman was still moving forward. Also, who thinks a still frame is productive for discussing whether guys are moving?

As if it couldn’t possibly be him too?

Also fair. Counterpoint - I don’t think there’s a team in the league without soft spots on their defense and I think that last lines a bit cliche, personally. Outside of a great qb, there are plenty of ways to build a contender and that includes cutting corners at nearly any position group as long as you properly scheme and plan for it The best run stopper in a decade of colts football mightve been Peyton Manning as an example of non-conventional ways to control the inside of the trenches. They were able to scheme for shootouts on both sides.

The assertion that in another year or so he shouldn’t be competing is pretty fair. He’d be 43 during the regular season 2 years from now

Kendricks was also on the PFWA All Rookie team his first year and brown honestly didn’t change drastically through the years.

You can have a good D and think an element is overpaid

Certainly not smarmy ?

Suoer smarmy... The offense is advancing the ball, they pushed it into the end zone out of control, and in turn have the responsibility to regain possession- not that crazy. If they do they get the highest prize in the game. If they don’t, the other team successfully defended the goal line. It’s not like any of that is super crazy. Given things like the play immediately stopping as soon as a controlled ball touches the goal line I think this helps balance things out. If you are going to stretch the ball out with reduced risk of fumble (plays dead as soon as it crosses) then I’m ok giving the defense some help and putting the impetus on the offense to recover after reckless play there.
