I feel terrible for Penaut and Allen

This was likely their last chance to get a ring, and obviously Peanut didn't get to play but he would've earned that ring as much as anyone else on the team if we had won. It's hard to see either back next year though I wouldn't be against keeping them. Peanut at this age coming off an ACL and the two seasons before being cut short just may not have it in him and isn't signed right now. Allen played okay but isn't coming back at that cap number, could even retire, and I'd much rather have Ealy or Addison or a draft pick getting snaps than Allen. Wouldn't hurt to keep him as veteran depth and get rid of CJ (has to happen) but certainly not guaranteed. They gave it their all and contributed to this amazing and special season and I can't say how much I appreciated both their efforts. Hope they get another shot, and if they're here next year we could certainly have another shot.

I love the attitude and passion Allen brings, but I can't see him being that needed next year.  Peanut is better suited for the pure fact he can still affect a game with his ability to cause turnovers and I think he comes back.  I don't think we bring back Allen sadly for him, as he seemed like a great team player.

I don't, they're millionaires. 

Money isn't everything. Putting everything you have into your work and not having it pay off would be disappointing no matter what it is you're doing, getting paid or not. NFL or construction or banking or starting a small business, whatever.

 

I would've included TD but he's got a couple more years here for sure, whereas Peanut and Allen's future is completely up in the air.

I don't feel bad. They're millionaires. They should have known once they got acquired by a horrible GM. 

I do feel bad for TD. He had little control in being taken over by Hurney 2.0.

It's been a while since I thought someone would say something so stupid that they should receive a perma ban.  you sir give idiots a bad name.  I literally do not know what verbiage would be appropriate to call you after that post.

Just call Cam a ****** like most of the closet racists on this site. You'll feel better.

I feel bad for the entire defense. They showed up and played at a high level. They pretty much had the Denver offense locked up all day. They were deserving of being champions, the offense poo the bed. 

ST was less than stellar as well. 6 points swing off of bad ST play (missed FG, wacky punt return), another 15 gift points off of offensive turnovers... Carolina theoretically could have won this game 7-6. Didn't happen and so is irrelevant, but that's the type of game the defense played.

You do realize that no matter how many times you say that Gettleman is a bad GM, it doesn't make it true.  Quit being a dumbass

It doesn't make him a good one either. Not many GMs luck into building blocks like Cam and Luke. Without those 2, he is Hurney at best. Sorry if the truth hurts your feelings.

    • He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not. 
    • Fantasy tiers? Who gives a fug
    • Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
