It seems that Cam Newton can't beat anyone with his arm, we have a horrible rushing defense, the buccaneers have an all world defensive line, and that the Panthers secondary could get more done if they sat on the bench. 

 

Enjoy! 

I've been waiting all semester for this!

Quote: Considering they've beaten us four straight games, we've lost 10 straight at home, Gerald's Hurt, we can't stop the run, they added Jared Allen and Luke Weakly should be back this week I have little confidence the Bucs will win this game.
But who knows? Maybe they'll surprise me. Hope springs eternal."

The one fanbase in the NFL that actually loathes Luke Kuechly as if he's to blame for why no one mentions Lavonte David and not the fact that they haven't been relevant since Josh Freeman...

You are 100% correct on that observation.  I have a couple friends from college who are TB fans (no idea why) and over the last 2 years when I'm around them all they ever want to talk about is how LaVonte David is actually better than Kuechly.

I guess when you've been as putrid as they've been you've got to grasp at straws...

Were they relevant back then? I thought it was for 45 minutes back in 2002.

There were actually people who thought Freeman was better than Cam. And before Cam sent Raheem Morris packing in a beat down around Christmas of 2011 and they hired Schiano to throw gasoline on the dumpster fire they actually looked decent.

That one time they did well apparently resonated with the folks at Grantland so much that they are constantly the favorite to always bounce back in the division and it never happens.

our defense ranks 4th among all NFL teams pertaining to yards gained by rushes.

have they figured out yet that they really should have drafted Mariota

I wonder what that conversation in the war room was like...

"Mariota looks like a good prospect, guys, but we'd be better off taking the guy in the midst of a sexual assault case that threw 18 interceptions last year in the ACC."

well, he was the most NFL ready QB in the draft.

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?
