La'el Collins signs with Cowboys


SCP

Key word here is "higher".

 

We had David fuging Foucault taking meaningful snaps for us at OT last year.  Think about that.  I'm not saying that James Hurst would've solved our OT issues by a long shot, I'm simply saying that he was better than guys we had on the roster last year.  Hell, I'd say he was better than all but Remmers.

 

you'd be wrong because foucault actually graded out higher than him when he got snaps

 

again, nobody would know or care who he was if he wasn't a tar heel and we didn't live in a state with the highest concentration of wal mart UNC fans in the country

For all those who are blindly defending Gettleman and the Panthers on this one, someone please go find a credible piece of info that links the Panthers to Collins.  I heard Cowboys, Dolphins, Bills, Eagles, Saints, and Giants.  Not a peep about the Panthers.

 

I very well could be wrong, but wouldn't surprise me in the least if J.R. told Gettleman it ain't gonna happen on his watch.

oh please are we doing the james hurst poo again

the guy barely graded higher than byron bell and would have let cam get decapitated just the same. he gave up three sacks in one game last year and had a cumulative PFF grade of close to -40.

nobody here would know or care who he was if he played for iowa state

To play devils advocate hurst was a rookie and bell is like 4 yr pro.....

so you get to make a positive statement that the panthers didn't pursue him at all and everybody else has to prove you wrong

 

cool story bro

People get so hung up on the UNC thing on this board.  I would've been screaming just as loud for Hurst last year if he'd played for NC State.  We needed OTs.  He played OT and was a decent prospect before breaking his leg late in the season.  It was a no brainer.

 

Get over the UNC thing.

    • My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again. 
    • Ok LT and Petersen are a cut above everyone else to me cmc and Faulk are interchangeable on this list.  though Faulk was better career wise
    • Maybe faked was too strong of a word.  "Milked" may be the better way to call it.
