I was just showing it not simply a hit to the helmet. That’s a different penalty. You can’t lay out a WR as he is catching the ball. He must become a runner first so he has a chance to absorb or avoid the impact.

Much better angle. Thanks for the clip!

Gettis and McNutt for depth.

That's exactly what I was about to post. You can't lay out a defenseless WR anymore. Take another 15 yards plus possible throwing the safety out of the game plus a fine if he does lay out Chark in a game there. It's hard to tell if he was locating the ball or letting up. Regardless the placement was perfect as Chark didn't have to break stride. Maybe the decision could be debated if the WR gets laid out but placement was great.

With perfect placement. I’ll take that over an overthrown rocket arm all day long.

I love it when you talk dirty to us.

Barkley signed but it’s only a 1 year. Probably not ideal considering his injury history… https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/38067192/sources-saquon-barkley-giants-agree-1-year-11m-deal

I agree with what you are saying and the QB pay scale would still be a decent portion of the cap to help level that. I also feel like at the end of the day you need that MVP caliber QB if you want to sustain success in this league. I mean we are all pencilling in the Chiefs, Bengals, Bills, and Eagles in the playoffs before the season starts because of their QB. We traded away a good haul for a chance at drafting a franchise QB. The name of the game is developing or finding a QB. I’m not sure putting a max cap hit on QBs changes that.

Hopefully Bryce will be great and get his money on his second contract.

A whole new system on offense and defense, new staff, rookie QB, and who knows how difficult our schedule really it. It's unlikely, but not impossible. Regardless I think we are heading in the right direction even if we take a step back this year (which I don't think we will).

Yeah you can tell he took a lot from PG's game and made it his own.

I agree. If Bryce looks comfortable in the offense this seems the best way to handle it. If he looks shaky then give him more snaps.

That explains why is doesn't like the forum and was complaining about the Mods. (although he likes it enough to make a new profile and come back). Thanks for the heads up!

I’m not “attacking” you. Simply stating if it was as dark of a place as you are stating you wouldn’t be on here posting unless you are just wanting some extra drama or arguments in your life. You have posted several times about how bad this place this. Maybe posts like that are part of the problem? Honestly it looks about like any other teams board this time of year to me. The draft and our top pick drove up traffic and the same will happen when the season starts. This is an optimistic post to counter your pessimistic one.

If everything went downhill and it’s ran by the inmates as you stated, why continue posting here? It must bring you some sort of enjoyment or you are just wasting your time right? When the season is rolling or the Panthers are active it’s still a good forum IMO.

Yeah plus they were future 1st rounders I believe so 24 and 25. Throw in the fact it can take players several years to blossom in the NFL if they even do at all. I think Fitt knew we would have a QB on a rookie contract for the next 4-5 years so the future picks aren’t as attractive as an immediate impact pass rusher like Burns. We can afford to pay our premium positions until Young’s next contract so that’s the route we went.

Look we actually had a PG who passes the ball playing in Simmons and we won. Imagine that…

I agree with what you are saying, but the counter would be the cost to retain him and where that money could be allocated to offset the loss of a player like Burns. For example would Ngakoue at a fraction of his cost (who still is a solid pass rusher) plus the Rams picks plus the money saved more than offset the loss of Burns or not. It’s debatable and our staff didn’t think it would offset his loss.

Probably IUI or IVF was used at that age to get his best swimmers.

That’s some dedication…
