Who's the guy that you're glad you don't have?

So, whilst wasting offseason time I noticed today that Rex Grossman and Brady Quinn were signed by NFL teams today.  Of all the thoughts in the world I said to myself "gee, I am so glad that the Bills didn't have to be doing something like this."

 

About 10 seconds later I realized that we are pretty much a lousy team, with potential of course, but it made me wonder why because EJ Manuel isn't bonafide yet, we haven't won a championship since the 60's and we might not even finish .500.

 

The Panthers are a winning team and with the 2014 offseason wrapping up soon is there a player in this league that you can have that same thought about?  Now, I know the Panthers have their issues with depth at WR and OL, and have some issues with DB's - every team really does - but when you see Grossman and Quinn signed to two teams who seem to have had decent opportunity with their QB's in 2013 you have to realize maybe the Panthers are not too bad off!

 

So, who's the guy you're glad your team didn't have to go out and find in the scrap yard, or maybe even go out there and have to sign to a big contract to a guy like Jairus Byrd, Vontae Davis, Aqib Talib or Darrel Revis?

Hakeem Nicks! Mostly every Panther fan I know was screaming for Gettleman to grab him. I did not like the idea. I have always disliked Nicks because he is lazy and does not work hard. There is a reason there are reports saying Nicks is out of shape and not working hard.

Lafail. Soon Bell, Stewart and Harper

I don't see that happening unless it was via trade.  Even then, I do not know if it would be a benefit or not.

 

A CB or RT for Stewart?  The going market for him might be a 4th at best, so a player for player trade would be more of a depth, scheme or rotational player then it would be contributing starter.

 

Perhaps, Stewart and a draft choice for a player would be worthwhile.

I am super exited that Julius Peppers went to Green Bay.  Muhsin Muhammad did the same crap.  Run to Chicago because you’re overpaid in Carolina.  Thing about Moose is he is still in the community doing stuff that counts.  Dude chased money and came back to chase stats but he stayed in Charlotte and is giving back.  Before I rip Peppers here is a link to Mooses’ work in this community.

Peppers doesn’t give a crap about Charlotte and it shows.  Google this “julius peppers charity.”  This is the only thing I could find.  He donated money to the Tarheels after they got busted for “academic fraud.”

I wish Carolina had never drafted (and paid) such a thoughtless former member of our community.  The kids are gonna love the team no matter what!  Guys like Cam and Luke are handling business off the field and in the end that is all that really matters.  Good riddance Julius Peppers….DO NOT RETIRE HIS JERSEY!!!!!!!!!!

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.

      Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.

      It is goofy how some people hate Bryce so much that they're flat out lying to try and remain entitled to their pessimism. It's insanity. Most fans are realists and eagerly awaiting the season to see if we get pre- or post-benching Bryce to start the season and how much he is able to do with some young and developing weapons. Many of us understand that these young guys are going to have growing pains on the job as well as the new defense, but the fans with all of the excuses for why Bryce can't be successful are pounding the no excuses drum. Personally, I'd prefer the Keep Pounding drum.
