I thought Blanchard would be cut yesterday, or at least the first one this morning.

 

Starting to get worried....

 

You can't cut a player while he is injured. You have to wait for him to pass the concussion protocol and release him with an injury settlement. He won't be on the active roster anyway. Likely have to IR him.

Idk, I am gonna be bitter for a long time. The other difference there is Indy gave Peyton his due. He was shown respect and treated with class by an owner strung out on drugs lol. Gave him a presser, shed some tears, etc. Meanwhile, Gettleman was busy slinging the D around and cut Smitty unceremoniously. It was ugly. That's tough to deal with. Idc what his reasoning was, he made it tough on everyone involved moving forward because of the way he handled it.

I hate the way it was handled too and I still despise Gettleman for it. But what happened has happened and it's not something that I'm gonna fall apart over. Just move on and enjoy this season.

The Panthers for some reason has done a terrible job managing our WR. For some reason they believe you can only have 1 leading guy while the rest is 3rd stringers. Imagine if we drafted Keenan last draft and drafted KB with this one and never got rid of Steve. Man

And signed Nicks: KB, Allen, Nicks, and 89. Wow

We've been pathetic surrounding Cam with anyone: both OL and WR.

We didn't have close to the amount of money it was needed to sign Nicks. That was never going to happen.

He seems to be managing well as a second fiddle to Torrey Smith in BMore.

It was a personal move on Gettleman's behalf and it was a horrible, yet intentional, mistake. However you want to look at it - Smitty complementing KB, or KB complementing Smitty - it would've been better than what we currently have.

Steve was owed too much money, and he didn't want to restructure. so they cut him nuff said

I knew Byndom had a long shot to make the team but I sure hope he makes the practice squad. I could see him being on the team next year with a little added weight and some coaching he could be a decent corner. I like to see Lucas make the PS as well.

I really liked Allen as well but we don't really need him.

I hope Norwell makes the 53 man roster. Other than that I am not shocked at any of the cuts.

Smitty wasn't about money. Do we have to go over this again? We saved peanuts by cutting him.

Yeah I completely wiped the Nicks debacle from memory after GMan told him he was better off going elsewhere... lol... oh the butthurt is so fresh still.

*facepalm*

But hey, we signed Cotchery, Avant, and have two UDFAs rounding out the WR corps! #offseasonwin #allaboutdahogmawliesdoe #pahkdahcaw

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.

      Best part is if we draft him, we can also use him as our fourth and one QB sneaker
