Nice pics sir. And the ensemble is fire. Thanks for sharing!

Has Tremble signed his rookie contract yet?

This a great move by the Panthers. We have our RT locked down for foreseeable future without overpaying him (his deal is in the neighborhood of the Ramcyck deal with the Saints). It’s more than the tag obviously but it would cost us more if we waited until next year. This is win-win for everyone.

Like most players, Simmons has to be in the right situation to flourish. He’s a building block on a D but not a foundation piece. An athletic player LB that would shine behind a stout DL like the ones we’ve had in the past. That’s why Derrick Brown was the right pick for a defense that was in desperate need of an overhaul.

Pass. Sorry he’s simply not worth it. I wasn’t too impressed with his performance in the Hawks’ playoff run.

Good points SBB. And I wouldn’t want to sacrifice promising young talent for keeping Little around. There’s a possibility Brown gets moved to the practice squad if he doesn’t impress in camp. I think Moore impresses enough to stick on the roster. It would be too risky to try to add him to the PS.

I think Little stays on until his rookie contact is up if only for depth. Zylstra sticks for depth and special teams. Thomas-Oliver and Hartsfield to the practice squad. I’m not confident that Grier makes the team but we do need depth @ QB and he’s also on a rookie contract so there’s a 50/50 chance he’ll stick at least until we find better options.

That’s what I’m thinking. Little’s on a rookie contract and at least provides some depth. No financial advantage or otherwise by cutting him loose just yet.

Remember that was the selection of the former “greatest talent evaluator…period” Hurney (at least according to Tepper b4 he fired him)

A "fine" start indeed. Not a big Urban Meyer fan but geez that's brutal.

And? Everyone has a right to take a stand for their beliefs and opinions. If you stand for nothing, you’ll fall for anything, right?

Great article - liked him at Ok State and really a fan after reading this. Thanks for sharing LP! As Panthers’ fans in general, we have to get over this phobia of players becoming potential trouble makers just because they’re outspoken or have different personalities or have made past mistakes. Give them a chance to prove themselves. This is a new regime and days of drafting choirboys are over - thank God!

Bell needs to hang it up and have several seats. Ever since his last year with the Steelers, it’s been nothing but drama with him. He’s pretty much done and the game is probably done with him at this point.

Seems his problems are between his ears more than anything. Like I said he’s a fourth year pro and still making rookie mistakes. Not looking good for his future with the team. Thanks for the write up Zod!

Me too. But if Thomas is having issues with attitude and work ethic, then we’re better off without him. It’s been four years...if he doesn’t get it by now?

Nice summary. Thanks! Can’t believe DN hasn’t been replaced...awful!!!

I think Tepper went overboard to justify keeping Hurney around for smooth transition or whatever reason. I always felt that Hurney would be canned - just didn’t seem to fit the direction of the new org.

Good point.

Another draft dud...so glad those days are behind us (I hope so)

Don’t remind us smdh

Yup. That’s a name I hoped to never hear again.

I still believe that game was about sending Peyton Manning into the sunset a winner. Too many bewildering things happened during that game, including our total lack of competitiveness, to make me believe otherwise.

Agreed. I absolutely can’t bring myself to watch that game again.The way we lost that game was beyond painful.

And that folks is how a real front office operates. I shudder to think how those conversations would’ve turned out if Hurney was fielding those calls.
