There's probably not a person on that Oline that should be a starter outside of Kakil and he didn't even look it last week. It's a mess, and can't really afford to fix it all in one offsesason. It's funny how Gettleman is getting a pass on the Kony Ealy pick too, who has had 0 impact thus far even with Hardy out.

 

no doubt. but unlike some i want to see a larger sample size with the o-line. they've had 1 atrocious game. and 2 solid ones.

 

you should know ealy will take time. Greg Hardy and CJ were garbage for 2 years. I wanna see him make an impact too but thats just fanbase emotion.

 

The o-line is troubling but can be fixed. And don't sleep on trai turner. he's just a rook too though. we got some talent and we got a good starting base with KB. can't fix everything overnight.

These players don't know how long their careers will last, most of them have families. Our own fans like to trash our players because of their contracts, but exactly how many of these fans do you think would seriously turn down the money in those circumstances?

 

I don't disagree with that at all but the effects are still the same.if many here were "team fans", as they claim, then they would see that.

No doubt, but I believe a lot more could have been accomplished this offseason. I don't want to put too much stock into the Pitt game, but we should know a lot more about this team 4:30pm Sunday.

And all we've got since 2011 is KB. Olsen was a nice add but I'm just talking WR and OL.

And I totally agree with your post above this one. At the end of the day it's a business. The only reason Cam may take a bit less would be due to his other sources of income with his clothing line and commercials and endorsements. But for most of these guys, they try and should milk every penny they can from the owners. Never will I fault an athlete for that.

 

don't sleep on trai turner.

 

honestly i'm concerned about amini though

yup.

 

and like i said about the greg hardy tag. it will make or break DG but only for THIS year. it's still early. It sucks we can't use that money elsewhere but.

 

1. we don't know yet if he will be back this year, still could be

 

2. it's only for this year. we didn't just hand him a monster contract

 

honestly right now i wish we hadn't franchised him but i won't give my full thoughts until after the season.

Yeah, just look back to the CBA negotiations a few years ago. The NFL makes billions off the players, yet is still considered a non-profit.

 

Being the type of competitor Cam is, I think there is a reasonable chance he will be willing to work with us. But I'm not going to just expect him to take a very team friendly deal, it's not his fault we've done an overall poor job of drafting offense around him while still on his rookie deal.

way to casually gloss over what i said. my post still rips yours apart.

 

we just got KB who is on pace to have a randy moss type of rookie year. That is a major, major deal. 2 drafts with DG we just drafted a soon to be superstar at WR. whose to say we aren't gonna get another talent at WO next year?

 

right now we have Olsen a top 5 TE (who is basically a close to 1,000 yard WR) and KB an up and coming talent Cam can grow with.

 

we do not lack talent on O, we just need more of it. And i'm positive that will come with good drafting. 

priceless.

Typical Panther's fan. Always want the best for cheap.SMH

 

Even if it doesn't turn out to be the biggest QB contract ever, Newton's contract isn't going to be 'cheap'.

 

And what I "always want" is a team that's built to be a perennial winner.  I don't really care whether the guys at any particular position are the highest paid in the league, including quarterback.
