Alan Ball was offered more money by Chicago

It isn't hard to figure out what Gettlemen is doing, but there are people who think we should hand the checkbook to every player who visits.  That is like being a poor kid and asking Santa for the latest video console.  Prolly not happening, but if it does, Maw and Paw had to sell your bicycle to pay for it.

I don't have an issue, but I will say, he will regret the decision when he's out of the nfl in 2 years and he could have dramatically improved his stock playing behind one of the best front 7's in the nfl.

 

What is he, 30?  If so, he might be in the "make all you can right now because I will be out of the NFL in 2 years regardless" mode.

However, it would be rough going to a division where the only WRs you can cover are on your team.

GMan and JR are so cheap

Edit: Panthers fans' overreactions to FA this year have made me an angry person. The schedule release and draft can't get here soon enough.

 

I think you need to go to a bar and grab a beer.  That's what calms me down.  Well sex and working out too.

Doesn't look like it was a ton more.

#Panthers Alan Ball offer: $1 mil signing $950K base $50K workout Up to $500K incentives #Bears: $1 mil signing $1.95 mil base $50K workout

He had a chance to make almost as much with us, but he took the guaranteed money with Chicago.

Oh well. Better talent will be available in the draft.

2 mill salary and bonus with $500k that he could or could not actually see, or 3 mill that does not include incentives he has to reach.

 

 

That is at least $500k more, but likely $1,000,000 more. I would leave my current job in a heartbeat for that much more money, and I like my job.

    • I'd like to see the gameday chats come back, especially if you can get it mobile compatible and like those support chats that stay on the screen even when you move around the site. We could use them during CLTFC and Hornets games now too.
    • There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring. 
    • I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
