I still wish we would have kept the Captian Munnerlyn. Anyone know how he is doing in Minnesota?

Also Butler from the colts has been a decent player for them as well. We could of kept both and have a decent secondary.

Also I noticed that the cowboys have 3 former panthers on their defensive line. Now I know we clearly cut them because we had better players to keep but it still hurts to see another team succeed with your old players.

Yes, and I'm referring to a restructuring before being cut.  You know, like we gave Godfrey so he could stick around and keep sucking.

 

 

Obviously I have no knowledge, but I get the sense he was happy to keep playing if someone was going to pay him $7.5 million to do so, and if not, he'd rather retire than take a large paycut.

gamble's agent talking about dollar store dave prank calling his client's house and beating him up and stealing his lunch money:

 

 

 

 

e: also i suppose none of you remember gamble getting benched by fox in 2010.  it's possible his heart hadn't been in it for a while and your hateboner for our GM may actually have had little or nothing to do with it as hard as that is to believe.

 

So a guy posting how Gamble wasn't given an offer as well as being unceremoniously cut by Gettleman and then me quoting that and responding to it qualifies as a "circlejerk" now?  I think the number of people preaching "patience" and defending his every move by citing Hurney's shortcomings far outnumber anyone that criticizes what does...  Although the number of people that are at least questioning his moves are increasing with each horrific blowout.

 

I don't hate the guy.  I'm just not a big fan of some of the moves he's made and I don't think he's the most tactful person in the world either.  He doesn't seem to handle all of his moves with the class you would expect from a football executive/general manager.  We don't have to re-hash all of his failed transactions from this offseason, as it is currently apparent, but generally, when we lose, I have a tendency to highlight them and vent...

I thought Godfrey actually took a paycut, not a restructure.

 

Spotrac has him with a cap hit of $7.1 million next year. Just cut him and get it over with.

 

It was a straight paycut:

 

May 6 2014 
Reduced his 2014 salary from $5 million to $750,000 with Carolina (CAR). A $100,000 per game roster bonus was added to his 2014 cap figure.

 

 

 

He'll probably be asked to do the same again next season, if not be cut outright. $3m in dead money, designate him as a post-June 1st cut, spread the cap hit and move on. He's clearly done.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
