I Was Wrong (Cap Room)


Recommended Posts

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).

    • The team wore down and shots stopped falling.  Ball, Miller and Kon have to play well.  At least 2 of the 3.  2/16…0/6. That ain’t gonna cut it.     If Bridges and White are the only ones hitting from 3, it’s not gonna go well.  The 3’s make Moose and Kalk work.  No 3’s it gets too crowded for them with all the bodies crashing the boards.    (Kalk needs to add strength, something awful tho.)
    • Was at the game and NYCFC honestly outplayed CLT the whole way.  Khalina and Zaha carried the team.  Zaha's wife on IG making it sound like he's gone come July. They're going to have to pay him or find a big time replacement because the team looks like pretty lost without him.
    • No one's saying LaMelo has no blame we're responding to you acting like he's the reason they lost. The scapegoating and blaming the teams woes on his personality is where it's like Cam Newton all over again. It was a failure on multiple fronts and primarily Lee's. Dude said ON AIR pregame that they had to protect the paint and if that was his gameplan going in he couldn't have botched it more. As the commentators said Ball's a rhythm guy and Orlando was preventing him for getting any kind of flow going. I'm a normie watching on TV and said they needed to bait them into fouling to combat that. They didn't even try until the 2nd half when it was too late. I think it's fair to expect the star to overcome whatever but LaMelo was not the problem in that game and he's not what is holding the team back. He's the only reason they're flirting with being a great team. I kinda put the center play on Lee too. Moose is great until he's up against a big who can body him. We've always known that and that's what Kalkbrenner is for. I don't know if it would have changed much but Kalkbrenner should have had more minutes than him.  And moving forward with the center position, I just think it's the time to trade Diabate while his stock's high and that's not an indictment of his game. He's like an evolved combination of Biyombo and PJ. He's a great rim protector and the strength issue is just what you're going to have to deal with if you want that. But Kalkbrenner is perfectly capable of protecting the rim and we gotta get away from the undersized centers or it'll always be a problem for us.
