Panthers start making cuts to roster
PNW_PantherMan replied to TheSpecialJuan's topic in Carolina Panthers
It's all true. You just need ownership that buys in and understands the law of averages. You could easily do this, make well informed selections, and then just get super unlucky 2 years in a row. Now you're fired and someone else gets to inherit the players you picked. I highly recommend this if you haven't watched it. -
Please, explain it to me then, because nothing I just said is wrong, if you can't see it, that's a you problem. This isn't MLB where teams can spend $50 million or $500 million on their roster. Not having guaranteed contracts doesn't save owners a single penny, it just changes what players would be getting the money as guaranteed contracts would mean it's being paid to cut players or sub-par bench players instead of new ones, but it's still the same amount of money coming out of the owners pockets. The fact that any fan thinks cutting a player saves the owner any money is absurd. Yes, TECHNICALLY a team could only spend the cap floor every year and save maybe $15-20 million a season, but no team does that in the NFL. If they aren't spending their cap in a season, they use it in the next season when they get to roll it over, this isn't baseball where you have cheap owners when it comes to assembling the roster itself. Owners get cheap when it comes to other things, like the coaching or training staff, or amenities provided to the players.

Panthers just cut OLB Kenny Dyson -
I believe the 2 and 7 guy wasn’t the best of the week. And I don’t need to use Levis. I can use all the players with a top notch completion percentage and scores that week. At some point, reality carries the day over what if and subjective PFF stuff. And keep in mind PFF isn’t one guys subjective take playing out and comparing itself. It’s a bunch of different guys doing each game with different subjective takes and grades. Think of it like boxing. Judges don’t view it all the same. That’s their subjective grading and it’s end result narrative is an outlier

I thought she was the AD. So did she.

Not if you have to force them to do it.
-
Wasn't she 19 when Bill "helped her with her psychology homework?" What 64yo CEO was dating a highschooler? Everybody involved in this looks fuging disgusting!

At some point it becomes elder abuse. But hey you only live once. Have fun Bill.

Round 6, Pick 32 (#208) - Jimmy Horn Jr, WR, Colorado
tukafan21 replied to Icege's topic in Carolina Panthers
To everyone who spent the last 4 months screaming to not take T-Mac because what we really needed was a quick twitch slot WR and not a big outside guy........ Did we end up getting both in this draft? I kept saying those wanting that quick shifty slot WR weren't wrong, we did need one, but we also needed that true outside #1, and I explicitly kept saying to take T-Mac in the 1st, then use the next few picks on defense while taking that mid-late round pick on the shifty slot WR as they're easier to find there. T-Mac, XL, Coker, Horn Jr could make for a damn good Top 4 WR room if they pan out, although if they do, we won't be able to keep all 4 of them on a 2nd contract, but those are good problems to have. -
You are wrong, but the taste of boot is preventing you from seeing it.
-
I said it a million times leading up to the draft, Walker never made any sense to me. He's a 4-3 OLB who plays mostly off ball but can be used as a situational pass rusher. If you're taking an OLB when you run a 3-4, they need to be more of a full time pass rusher who has the ability to set the edge and also play DE when you switch up to a 4-3 alignment. That's just not Walker, he very well may be a great player in the end, but you don't take a 4-3 OLB at #8 when you run a 3-4, square peg meet round hole.
-
I think the whole escort thing is a bit out of hand, seems kinda clear to me that it was one of those sugar daddy type of deals that likely just went on for too long and they developed "feelings" for each other and turned it into a weird relationship.
-
Don't forget the young TEs, Coker, Etienne, and Jimmy Horn Jr! I'm amped to see how the team develops over the course of this upcoming season.

She must be doing tricks on that thang for Bill

No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured. The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.
-
Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?

Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025
CanadianCat replied to Bear Hands's topic in Carolina Panthers
If BY continues to develop. XL learns how to catch with his speed. Tet lives up to his hype... THEN Brooks comes back.. dammmmmmmmmmmmmm - Today

Amazing how the casual fan has gotten sucked into this kind of thinking. IMO I have no problem with hold outs or this kind of contracts. Look at what the Panthers just did. They just cut Clowney. After THEY gave him a 2 year contract to save money. Im not in to billionaires saving money. Im into players making money.

LinvilleGorge replied to Mr. Scot's topic in Carolina Panthers
The school is denying it but do they have any other choice? I mean, even if it's true it's such a poo show you'd HAVE to deny it. LOL -
Honestly, I thought that all rookie contracts were already guaranteed.
-
I'd always said I didn't want to see 58 worn again, but I'd also never seen this idea brought up before, but now that I have, I freaking love it. TD is the ultimate representation of Keep Pounding, dude's career should have been over after the knee injuries and then he goes on to become a franchise legend. Let's make 58 a LB only number that needs TD's approval for who can wear it and turn it into a LB tradition here, would be really cool and in a way more fitting of what TD meant to the franchise than retiring it.
