Per J.Person. Big spenders always take it on the chin when the cap man knocks on the door. Not a smart way to spend. Bucs and Saints paying the price of there past deeds. They may be kicking some more bodies to the curb.The NFC south is a mess.....except for one team.

They went for broke in free agency last year, kinda like a lot of folks (who don't understand the salary) think we should do.

 

For all their effort, they got the worst record in football and now they're cutting the guys they signed to big money :lol:

I like our approach much better than overspending in FA I just think the next step for our team would be getting value for players that we don't intend to keep(Smitty/Hardy).

 

If we know we aren't keeping them then we should trade them early and get SOME return for them. That's the next step and I think it will work since Gman can actually draft in all rounds...so the talent can refill and refresh.

 

I think someone said in another thread that Gman is actually just turning over the bottom end of the roster looking for lower priced gems that end up shining...then we keep those(like we should have done with Ginn(i think Ginn would have helped out a lot last year honestly(and yes we could have afforded him))...and get rid of the rest trying to cycle in some Comp picks.

 

Maybe we will get lucky and get a 3rd for Hardy but I'd rather keep him if there was even a modicum of a chance.

According to some.      Those guys are big money FAs...and if we dared show interest in them...... we're on the same path as the Bucs........who,  btw,  sucked even before they spent a ton of money in FA.   They sucked when they clinched their wallet close in FA,  and they sucked when they opened their wallet to splurge.

Yep.

I have yet to see someone say we should spend big money on a player.

The Buc's current situation should be a lesson to all of us Panther fans ,when we  start complaining  about the team  not sinking a boatload of money (that we don't have) into the free agent market.

Its not going for broke. wait a few days, let the dust settle, and they wont be over priced

 

the first few days are a bidding war and it rarely worls out well for a team. they overspend and regret it down the line most the time when they have to get under the cap. they have to deal with dead money and all sorts of things

 

 

we have a young core we have to resign folks. im glad Gettleman is taking that into serious consideration. we dont wana be in position where we gotta resign our young core and were sitting right at the cap. that would be disaster

 

a lot of you are completely not thinking far enough ahead to understand. the "here and now" acting like our window is closing soon. its just now opening and its going to open real wide if we continue to minimize the damage that hurney has done. signing high priced guys now will just prevent us from opening the window as wide and itll close sooner

      Time to Sign David Njoku

      Great point.    I would lke to add that there is another QB on the roster who was terrible over the middle--Kenny Pickett.

      I don't think this is the year for Carolina, unfortunately.  I think they will have to make a decision on the QB position-all we know is that Bryce has year 5, but a long term deal has not been signed--yet--and they would be smart to take a "wait and see" approach.  I have not kept up, and I see a path to upside for Bryce, but I do not think we have aggressively pursued a QB when our QB was mediocre to worse than mediocre.  yes, his numbers are improving--but he has adapted by eliminating what he does poorly and not improving on what he does poorly.  Just my take and I have no data to support this view.   Basically, we go as Bryce goes, so the approach is not to bring in a QB to have him compete until we find one, but it is to make Bryce as good as he can be--is that good enough? Season ticket holders buy the hope of winning rings, not winning 8 games. Last year, Bryce had a resurgence.  Take away TMac and Rico Dowdle.  How good was he?  I still have hope.  Not a hater of plan A, but a hater because we have no plan B.

      Yeah man, I've been here for a very very long time. Couldn't even begin to tell you what year. Maybe 2004 or 5? I've never really been super active, just enjoy reading everyone's opinions and discussions. I'll chime in from time to time. I have had a few different accounts over the years. It's always been a fun place for me to check in on my favorite team. Hopefully we can keep the place running for a long while still. I also would like to recommend bringing back the Lovely Ladies page!
