Yeah, this looks more and more like a contract dispute. Robbie just doesn't have any leverage.

Agreed. I don't blame Robbie and I don't blame the Panthers. It's just an awkward situation. The Panthers are gonna pay DJ. They want someone on a cheap rookie deal opposite him. Robbie obviously wants long-term security.

Honestly, it's probably because he isn't in charge. Rhule has final say.

Unfortunately, Marshall was basically drafted to be his replacement. He's not getting an extension right now. Marshall will have to bust or prove to still be injury prone for that to potentially be in the cards. He can basically either show up and play or try to force his way out

PFF lacks self awareness. They're so in love with their system that they fail to recognize when that system produces an outlier that doesn't match with reality. I love their work in stats aggregation, but their rankings and ratings are practically useless IMO.

I wouldn't necessarily go that far either, I'm simply saying the argument can be made.

I can remember sitting in world history class as a senior in HS as our teacher talked about the Mayan calendar and jokingly told us the end of the world was coming in 2012. 2012? Pffff... I'll be 30. Who cares? Is life even worth living past that anyway? LOL!

Agreed. You can make a legit argument that this is one of if not dare I say THE most talented roster in Panthers history. The big question on offense is the QB. The big question on defense is experience level. But sheer raw talent? This roster has it in spades.

Don't worry. You're too hard headed to die. You'll argue the grim reaper into submission.

I can distinctly remember a time when I thought 63 was old as dirt. Hell, 30 was old as dirt. I'm still decades away from 63, but it sure doesn't seem all that old anymore.

Says the guy arguing for "perfect prospects" and wanting Greg Little who has shown to be terrible to play over a proven NFL OL who has struggled with injuries. I still haven't decided whether your as dumb as you portray yourself or whether you're just a pure troll. I think it's a bit of both, but the more you post the stronger the "dumb" argument gets.

Pitch count definitely doesn't mean he won't be heavily used. I just don't want to see us use this dude up before we're ready to compete.

Perfect prospect, right? Little is trash. Erving is decent, but injury prone. Little is doubtful to even make the roster.

I hope we put CMC on a pitch count, especially if we're not in contention.

People mentioning Little, is he even there?

A legit, good, young LT? Absolutely. Hell yes.

Definitely who is playing where on the OL. Also FS. Where is Chinn primarily lining up?

This stuff happens when there are major changes. We hired a new GM. This guy probably felt like his toes were getting stepped on. Hell, they probably were. Something had to give and it wasn't gonna be the new GM that was just hired so Rhule's tag along buddy had to go. Rhule and this dude go waaaaaay back. St least back to '98 when they were both at Albright. Honestly, I see it as a good thing the move was made. With the control Rhule has if he put his foot down and wanted his buddy to stay he'd still be here and from the sound of it he'd still be ruffling a lot of feathers.

Oh,don't get me wrong. His arm is trash. It just wasn't AS trash as I expected. I don't think his arm is any physically worse than a Jared Goff or Kirk Cousins but mentally he plays scared with his target choices.

His arm wasn't nearly as big of a limiting factor as I expected it to be. He just doesn't have the guts to make the throws.

He's probably butthurt. He was likely hoping for, maybe expecting an extension. Instead, we drafted his replacement. I expect him to show up with a chip on his shoulder at camp. He's playing to audition elsewhere for his next contract.

Moose had nearly 1500 yards and 16 TDs in '04 when Smitty broke his arm. Anderson is our best #2 WR since then, but yeah... Moose was definitely better.

It really doesn't matter with Little. He probably needed an outstanding offseason to have a shot at the roster. All those healthy roster scratches last year was all I needed to see to know this staff is pretty much done with his ass. I'm honestly a little surprised they haven't just already cut him and gotten it over with already.

I said it's most likely Robby plays here this season. The keyword you missed in your leap to conclusion was the big "IF".
