Panthers claim OT Jonathan Martin

[Mr. Scot]

Panther thoughts faster than the speed of thought. Sums up the entirety of this site.

I thought of it first

That's my line, but you probably already thought of that

I am excited Martin is here. With our locker room and with Rivera's support there is every reason to believe that Martin can return to his former level. What a no-brainer. Who gets a potential left or right starting NFL tackle off waivers unless there were issues. I don't think that football has to include bullying and intimidation. Particularly from your own guys. I hope he can contribute and fit in. A win- win for everyone. What is there not to like?

I'll assume you're older than I and that I borrowed it. [emoji16]

Dope.

Was pretty disappointed with his play but we need the talent.

[Icege]

How much? If its close to an NFL salary, i would probably do it.

But like I said, its not as important for me to be tough as it is for him to be.

I honestly dont hate the signing because it is an upgrade over what we had.. That being said, I would prefer to have players that dont allow themselves to be a victim of bullying. I'm not trying to sound like an a-hole. I'm sure Martin is a good guy and I probably would respect him. You just have to question his mental toughness, because the situation he was in is not common among men or nfl players.

Kind of like how folks are questioning your mental competence right about now?

And they drafted pass rusher after pass rusher. They were stacked at the position and kept drafting more.

Dos bowls de super, homie. Pass rush equals W's.

He was garbage in Miami, got even worst in SF. Hopefully he never gets a snap. Martin is so bad he isn't even thread worthy

And yet here he is. With a thread

This is what happens when our best off seasons signing  are a 4th string WR, a 5th string WR and an OT that's on his 3rd team in 3 years. slow off-season

 

We need to hit a HR with all of our offensive draft picks this year, cause as it stands right now we are still stuck in the purgatory of mediocre offenses.

Ummmm... what?

in 14' under the scrutinity of the media the NFL was lambasted for not levying appropriate punishment for domestic viloence,and Hardy became the poster child for Goodells exempt list.then in 13' abuse presented itself in the form of bullying and Martin was the victim.i am not sure,but I believe the league banned hazing at the conclusion of this particular probe

anyway the Panthers release Hardy during the off-season (15') and Steve Smith the previous off-season (14')and it's a well known FACT that he not only bullied his teammates verbally but also physically.so it just leads me to believe that this team values image and creating a healthy environment for players such as Martin moreso than abusive talent.

sure it's pure speculation on my part that signing Martin was a PR move,and i could very well be wrong.however,if he comes in and publicly expresses what a great organization the Panthers are,and how it allowed him the opportunity to reinvinte himself...well...

Debbie Downer. Oline is improved. We Corp improved. St teams improved. We are a lot better than last year and Gettleman isn't done.
