You're gonna be one of the people whining if we haven't signed someone by 4:30 on March 10th, aren't you?

(good grief) :rolleyes:

It's bigger than that. We have to atleast be meeting with some players now to get feelers and ideas so we won't be behind the 8 ball come March 10th, we have done nothing of the sort and it's just worrisome we aren't starting to lay the ground work now

You all realize the Bears did this so they can afford Jimmy Clausen's new contract, right? LOL

"More moves in addition to Brandon Marshall for Chicago: QB Jimmy Clausen is re-signing with the Bears, per source."

Schefter on twitter...

Fox and Clausen reunite.

It will only get worse when all the other good players are gone and we are all celebrating the signing of Michael Oher as though we just landed Calvin Johnson or something. Other than Oher, who has this team visited or showed remote interest in?! Why haven't we visited Hartline yet? Jacoby Jones? Among others. We have to meet with these guys now to lay the ground work and get feelers for when FA starts, we have did nothing of the sort

If only someone, say the general manager of the panthers, had warned that it would take years to get the cap in shape and that it'd be a year of modest upgrades at best in 2015.

The jets don't have to worry about extending a franchise quarterback soon like we do. The draft is where we're getting most of our value and difference makers right now out of necessity and picks and cap are precious for our plans going forward. We aren't going to make trades and the A-listers won't be coming to the panthers so get used to it at least for another year.

The jets suck. They aren't a model franchise that we should strive to copy. At least point to a better team making a move like this.

The Eagles trading for Alonso. That's an example of a good team doing something like this.

You can't meet with anybody other than players who have been cut until tomorrow.

 

Plus with our beat writers, nobody ever knows what's going on.

 

But more to the point, the smart teams generally sit back and watch other teams blow big wads of money on free agents within the first few days, and then spend wisely on players who can contribute without necessarily being big on hype.

 

Meanwhile, our forum has the usual band of clueless people who panic because we don't go after some big name they've heard of and declare our season over months before it ever starts :rolleyes:

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
