I asked a couple weeks ago about the direction of this team.

I guess we got a realistic look at it today. I am a big believer in you are what you are. We played a fellow playoff team from last year, in our own house and got blown out in pretty much every phaze of the game.

It's just preseason.... Oh wait, its not.

I am thinking this offseason would have maybe been a time to start 're tooling'. We have enough pieces in place to not 're build' but we should have re tooled. There were some decisions made by the front office we questioned this offseason so its not hindsight I am saying these things.

Peppers should have been traded somehow. I can only presume Hurney just asked too much. Delhomme should NEVER have been extended.

So now what? The Defense still can't tackle nor get constant pressure etc. Seems Meeks might not have been the best hire after all. Jake is still Jake. Fumble for a TD and 4 Int's. All off a sudden this 'one of the greatest lines in the NFL' looks like a high school team. Special teams didn't fare will either with the big return.

Add to all that, the front office issues with the Richardson boys being booted. Not good folks. I am a fan, have been since the day I heard the Panthers would come to life, and I always will be. But something I am not is a blind homer. I don't believe in sugar coating things and can see when a team is not good. Right now, this team is NOT good.

You know Jake's extenstion was for cap room right?

Why? Because they wouldn't move Peppers. As for as Jakes contract extention, I want to know how much was Signing bonus and how much is guaranteed. That will tell you how long he will be our QB.

Here is what really sucks...we can stink it up this year and get screwed further by not having a first round pick. Not having that pick is another offseason move I have questioned.

They couldnt move peppers because he never signed his tender......

... because Hurney wouldn't work with him on trading him to a team he wanted to go to. With all the cuts the Pats made this offseason, I guarantee we could have moved him. Hurney demanded two firsts and no one is going to pay that then pay peppers 100 million.

So you have to say is taking up over 16 million of my cap when I am tight against it worth it. Hurney said yes. The results say no.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
