Final Panther cuts 8-30-2014

It was either him or Folkerts. I really thought Folkerts was gone due to Velasco, but oh well. Can never have too many centers I guess.

 

Also Velasco can play guard. They must have liked what they saw from Velasco at guard more than what they got out of Scott. Scott was just a fat slob who got beat like a drum in pass pro.

Cotchery has averaged 35 catches a year over the past 5 seasons- less than LaFell or Ginn had last season. And he got 5 years @ $8M. One (1) catch this preseason...

 

Avant has more catches, stays healthy, but doesn't score and he gets 1 year, $1M. Preseason: also 1 catch, 25 yards.

 

"He didn't exactly outperform them. He was just thrown to more."

Receivers catch passes. Their entire career is based upon catching passes. King caught 6, 3 times as many as Coitchery and Avant together. Maybe because he gets open? Faster? Better hands? Caught passes? How the fug is that not outperforming?

 

I put no weight in the preseason. Cotchery and Avant have had solid careers. King has never played.

It worries me that DG ever thought King and Mcnutt were any sort of answer. It's nice to see he isn't afraid to admit he's wrong and doesn't drag players along and waste roster space, in hopes to be right. But this was one of the deepest WR drafts an we only left with 1.

Haven't seen him name but with Dockery getting cut I'm thinking Thomas makes it unless we sign someone else.

 

It worries me that DG believes Cotchery and Avant are any sort of answer as well.....

When did DG ever say he thought King or McNutt were the answer? Never.

Between "the answer is on the roster" and only drafting one WR in a draft deep at WR says alot.

Done talking about those 2. Heard all offseason from posters here about how we don't need certain WR's because we have those two.

I take Big Ben looking for Cotchery in the redzone as a plus not a negative. Sure, because of all the other targets around him he could work one on one without extra coverage, but it still says something that Big Ben looked to him so often.

Look, you know Nicks is more talented than Cotchery, I know it too, I'm just saying that at this point we have no proof that Gettlemen made the wrong decision, especially when you add Avant

Yes, Cotchery is valuable in the redzone because of his hands and route-running, and as you mentioned, was surrounded by talent that allowed him to work one on one.

I'm not saying Cotchery and Avant are not valuable. They are, in the right roles... My gripe is that all we can go on is ability and talent right now. So knowing we passed up on Nicks for Cotchery and Avant is tough. Nicks lining up across from Benjamin versus Cotchery or Avant lining up across from Benjamin as the next best option... that's a huge discrepancy. That's my gripe.

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life. QUOTE: "Sometimes the answer is on the roster." Guess what? Bersin was on our PS, basically the roster, and now everyone here thinks he can be an answer. So guess what? G-Man was right. Guess what else? G-Man drafted BPA and guess what? He gets paid to make those decisions and has had much success in the past. What are your credentials?

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
