Final Panthers Cuts

[Mr. Scot]

I remember Fozzy de cleating Chandler Jones on a block in the Patriots game. There are worse things than him being on the team over Wegher. It's a great problem to have - not worth too much worry. 

The offensive line should get more for the credit for our backs blowing up in preseason. 

He had a good block on a blitz pickup last night too.

I just think if any player is the next Gettis, it's Fozzy. He's mediocre, but people want to over rate him because he has a good story. 

What is so good about his story?

 

Heres another play. Without it the team does not go to the playoffs.

When I think Fozzy I don't think 'story,' I don't even know what his story is. I just know that he makes plays and is a threat to score every time the ball is in his hands.

Wegher is the 'story' guy, the Pittsburgh announcers were talking about it last night, how he was in trouble with the law and just wants his chance.

I wont be upset either way with those two. Though I dont look for reasons to be outraged about these things.

I won't scream either way.

It's a good problem to have.

I remember in '06 people were clamoring for Brett Basanez or Stefan LeFors as the third QB and we couldn't decide which the Panthers would keep. They cut both.

[Mr. Scot]

I remember people going nuts over Jamal Robertson too.

Looked dominant in preseason, but when he was called upon against starters, he faded.

I wonder if Marcus Lucas makes it over Scott Simonson based on position versatility.

Personally, I wasn't talking to you

It's a forum. Post and you're talking to everybody.

Silatolu got jobbed by a 3rd string DL, would be shocked if he makes the 53.

On this Fozzy vs. Wegher argument...

I will post this with the shame it demands, but the devil in the back of my head last night offered up the thought of us cutting/trading Stewart and rolling with Artis-Payne, Fozzy, Todman, and Wegher...

I could see that happening... I wouldn't think it'd be very smart. But one could make an argument, no matter how small it is perceived, that there are benefits to getting rid of Stewart.

I love the dude and want him to be a Panther, but there always remains a chance that Gettleman could pull something like that.

I honestly wouldn't mind at all if that happened, but this is the last year on his contract that would hurt us a good deal to cut him during. We can next year and save money, this year it would cost. And nobody is going to trade anything for him, probably not even a conditional pick to take on that contract.

Wegher has been 4th string all preseason and has looked good.  Fozzy has been running with the 2nd string and has been playing good.  If you can't see the difference there I can't help you.  You can say what you want but at the end of the day the coaching staff is going to prove me right.

I was actually trying to find the numbers of what it would cost us before posting that, but my Google-Fu was failing... Any idea what the numbers look like? I also can't remember if we were to trade him if we would be on the hook for anything other than about $2 million that we'd owe him in guaranteed money (I think he had like $23 million in guarantees and we've paid him like $21 of that so far as best I can tell?)
