2nd Round Pick Kony Ealy DE


Kurb

Recommended Posts

Does thinking about the Carolina Panthers not include protecting your franchise QB, the most important player in the history of the team? Were we not division champs just last year going something like 10-1 or 11-1 to close out the regular season? We're rebuilding?

 

I would say that our DE situation could disenegrate in the near without legitimate security. He's probably thinking, is there an OL on the board that he and the staff truly find better than Kony Ealy who was the BPA at the time? Obviously not.

 

I would say that moves like this help keep us from needing to rebuild when (not if) we lose starters.

 

I think if Gettleman had been GM for 5 years instead of entering his 2nd, we may not have the openings on the o-line...but that doesn't necessarily mean that they take what they feel as a reach.

 

There's a reason that possible 1st rounders Moses and Richardson are still on the board.

Thank you SMF for guaranteeing Kony Ealy a spot in the pro bowl.  Every thread you made last year with a drop of doubt was shattered the following game day.  You predict the polar opposite of the future.  You'd be a great weatherman.

All you calling for Gman's head for not drafting Moses. Im going to fall out laughing if he falls to us in the 3rd and we end up getting him anyway

Unless Hardy or CJ get moved, it's still a luxury pick with a team that has huge holes at 3 positions.

There's obviously something about Moses that people don't like because everyone in the league has passed on him twice.  Can't always assume that a guy the media gave us in the first round bc it "fit" should really deserve to be in the first round.

 

I love the Ealy pick.  Give me good players and I will show you a winning team.

We can go OT in the third and still get a quality player.

Yep. I read or heard somewhere that FO didn't think there was a big difference at OT between 60 and 92.

But people who think we will draft for need in 3rd may be disappointed. We will get best value. As G man said, why take a nickel if you can take a dime

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
    • I think google is confusing signing bonus with guaranteed money. If you get a guarantee of say $10 million, it doesn’t matter if the signing bonus is $5 or $8 million, it’s the $10 million number that affects the cap, as the signing bonus is always just a portion of the guaranteed money anyways. And again, I’ll admit I’m not 100% sure about it, but I’m pretty sure it is the case.
