But I thought we should franchise tag him?

I don't think we'll find a better FB and I don't think Josh should be making more than Luke.

But you're right in calling me out. 

I was alluding to franchising Toldozer if we could get him franchised under the FB distinction, if there is such a thing.

I suppose putting crap on Twitter opens you up to criticism, that's on him

Having said that, I don't automatically hate someone just because they might no longer be a Panther

Comes down to whether he is seen by management as a value or is someone like a Chris Ivory for instance can come in and contribute the same for less money.

No, we can only franchise 1 player per year.  Josh was it.

I was just hoping we wouldn't tag Josh...I know we only have 1 franchise tag that we can use.

i just don't agree that J-No is a top-5 caliber CB and have a feeling we could have done way more with the 14-million we'd be giving Josh.

Id rather be signing middling-tier CB's, knowing that we are gonna be paying KK big money and would have liked to sign an upper-tier DE like Mario and Coples until we can develop the draft picks I know we'll be taking early in this draft.

No one here can make me believe that J-No should be getting paid top-5 CB $ and more than players like Luke and Kalil.

there's only like 3 teams in the nfl that really use fullbacks. if we want him back we should be able to get him for cheap, probably less than what he's been making the last couple years on his Hurney contract

Tolbert is a fan-fave and a playmaker for us. He fits in here and I highly doubt anyone is gonna offer him enough to keep him from signing a fair-market salary from us.

I think he'll be allowed to test the market before our FO gets into contract talks with Tolbert's agent.

I fully expect Tugboat to be a Panther next year unless we sign a hybrid TE to take his roster spot.

I think Simonson ultimately is the answer to our FB issue. He can be both TE and FB. He can catch and block, but is better in the blocking area. He's mostly like Mangum. A TE who was used mostly for his blocking ability than catching ability. Basically we should think of the FB position what Fox used to think of the TE position. Extra blockers that can occasionally catch.

Not a great year to be a FA Rb and looking for money. Way too many names out there to be had at a bargain. 

Yeah, and with the devalue of the running back position in general, better get or take what money while you can.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
