I Was Wrong (Cap Room)

I was wrong about why the Panthers are sitting back and David Newton at ESPN pointed it out in his article. I thought the team had 11 million in cap room after they allocate money for the drafted players but actually it is at 4 million. So, now I understand that the team simply does not have the money. I posted this as a new topic just in case other people are thinking we have the money and just sitting back doing nothing. Now that I admitted that let the bashing happen lol.

Looking ahead at the next two seasons at least, the Panthers will have plenty of room to keep their own and venture out for above average starters. Until then, we just have to hope we find free agent gems and we keep nailing the draft. That will set the team up for a nice 6-8 year window to win a Super Bowl.

What made everybody think we just magically got massive cap space lately?

 

Most fans who do not follow the cap religiously hear the media throw out the 11 million dollar number and assume that is how much we have to spend because why say that and not take out money for drafted players already. I think that David Newton article will calm a lot of mad fans down like myself. I do know we have a good amount of cap next year and the year after even after including 30 to 40 million for Newton/Luke deals.

The cap confuses me. We are out of money but the Saints were way over and are still signing guys.

I know it will hurt them in the long run, but it still confuses me.

It can confuse anyone.  There's a billion ways to manipulate it.  We could have signed some of these bigger name free agents by manipulating it certain ways, but in the long term scheme of things, it will only hurt you.  I know it kind of sucks that we can't get one or two of those guys, but thankfully, we're working on making the cap healthy.  It will start to show by next season, even after signing Cam(and maybe Luke to).

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By carolinanimal · Posted

      i presented this in another thread. he throws better to the out breaking routes the wr run, but almost nothing to the inside. that is half the options on a wr route tree. How do you run an offense like that?  even the outbreaking routes he throws are moonballs, that allow the DBs to catch up unless the wr is wide open. he has to throw with a lot of anticipation becuase he doesnt have the arm strenght to get it there if he is a little late. thats probably why you see balls behind the wrs.
