I'm hearing Crabtree's deal is 1 year $3MM. Same as Peanut. Which leads me to ask, does everyone agree all things being equal that we got a better deal with Tillman than the Raiders got with Crabtree?

 

It's too early to tell. I think Crabtree will be more productive than Boykin if that answers anything.

If Tillman can return to his prior form, then I'd say we definitely got the better player.

Spikes would have made more sense if we hadn't already signed Trusnik.

As to Crabtree, good. Never wanted him here.

Spikes really makes no sense at all. He's a 2 down LB who is slow and can only play in the middle. Our MLB spot is somewhat occupied and requires the ability to cover well. He's probably the best run stuffing LB in the NFL and can be a stud in the right situation. It's just not in Charlotte.

He'd also be far more expensive than Trusnick and I'm pretty sure he doesn't play special teams.

Tillman's ended up being much less than originally reported: $1.7m.

He'd have been a backup MLB here, but he doesn't play special teams that I know of.

Trusnik is cheaper and makes more sense.

With Crabtree going to Oakland, fatass better be ready to draft a WR early

 

 

We're not in a hurry to give Cam weapons or protection just like every other year.

 

Lol I hope you guys don't say positive things about Gettleman when the team performs well this year and Crabtree is sucking balls out in Oakland.

      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
