Really who has SEA lost? SEA is dominate because they sign there core and draft well. Then that add high risk, high reward FAs to give them a boost. The Panthers on the other hand are letting one of the best core players walk, while Newton and Keeks contracts are still up in the air. See the difference?

Honestly, thats what we get for treating him that way. He would have signed with us on a prove it deal.

The Kraken is SEA and we might as well blow this team up and rebuild because we are not getting through them. Sherman, Chancellor, and Hardy would be the best combo in years.

I have said this before and will say it again. The reason why we are never consistent is because we dont take chances on players. Hell if Ray Lewis were signed by Carolina when he had is murder trial we would have cut him. One of the best MLBs to ever play and we would have cut him no matter the outcome.

Everyone wonders why we are always below .500 every other year. Well its crap like this, Hardy was begging to play for us and what do we do? Yea shut the door in his damn face.

SEA is going to destroy us if they get Hardy. God sometimes I really hate how we sell out our players to the NFL. Dude was totally innocent yet that's not good enough.

Thats our fault for not signing him to that exact thing. Thank JR for that one.

No suspension and a apology from Goodell.

But that's exactly what we do every time. How many teams have you known to not let not one but 2 top 5 DEs walk for nothing. Expect Cam to do the same if it comes down to it.

This is basically how the Panthers operate. We want to act like we are better but they had just as good of a record as us last year with a worse QB. Also like us they don't sign but low level FAs each year.

But Cam has weapons!

People here are always ready with the excuses but the fact is all we have is Olson and KB and a bunch of joes that can't get open. I don't care they are not pro bowl players but they can't get open. Name one Great QB that does not have a good line and WRs. Hell the Steelers that was used as an example have had some great WRs and role players.

Put simply he would not make most rosters. People around here act as if every team has a guy like him and its not true. Cotchery would be there limit.

I don't need the reasons they left I know why, my point is that this org is content on allowing talent to walk out the door and not replacing it. Thus why we have always been inconsistent. Look even the best teams have to rebuild at some point I get that, but good teams improve till they reach the SB then rebuild. We on the other hand seem to always play catch up because of the non willingness to trade for troubled players and sign 2 tier FAs. Hurney, Dave, its the same thing. The last trade we made was Olson and that trade was made when Hurney was on borrowed time and one of the only trades we have made with another team. Yet it gave us one hell of a TE, yet we are not willing to take that risk once again?

When was the last time we had back to back winning seasons? (Yup never.) Peppers Marshall Wharton Hangartner Gamble Shockey Smith Mitchell Gross Hardy These are the names we let walk and still have not been able to replace became we go cheap in FA. What's the point in drafting well if you don't reload or replace the players you lose? We have still yet to have signed Can and Luke and its possible one or the other could walk as well knowing this franchises history.

Have we had that much more success? Last year really was a fluke and we did no better than a Fox coached team. The NFC South has gotten weaker and our new found success comes from that. We are still running things as if Hurney was here(low fas/draft for success), we are still letting our best players walk while not picking up players to replace them, and our team is still always the bridesmaid and never the bride. I really do think DG is a great talent evaluator and its a good thing too because if your not smart and you operate the way this org does you don't and your the brown.

Can you name him after last year. Honestly, JR has managed Newton very poorly. He should have blown this team up after fox left. Newton should not have had to go through a full rebuild.

We play a dangerous game every year and its why the injury bug seems to effect us so much. People act like losing a top 5 rusher and not addressing WR and CB/DB/OL is no big deal but one injury and we are in serious trouble. I don't think you need to spend big but you need to at least spend. We are not going to hit home runs every year in the draft and that only comes with 7 picks. Willingness to make moves like these is why we are at the bottom of the league in winning. Hell the Jags and Browns almost win as much.

I'm ok with this, but still not ok with us letting him walk. These moves are the reason why we are never a consistent team.

One of the only few teams that don't have s arrow pointing to us.

Chip Kelly gives me hope! My madden skills are crazy son

I don't know Dave.

Coming from bleecherreport I would say this is agent spinn to drive up a market. If they give hardy 2 games they have to give AP the same. That's not likely IMO.

Philly is also fast, we could add both more speed and route running a be good. Lets face it if we go into the season with KB,Ginn,Philly,Crab/Short/Johnson/Moore, and Cotchery thats not all that bad. We could even draft another guy and still not have a log jam because lets face it Bersin is not going to make any good NFL roster.

Rather have Johnson or Moore.
