In a recent twitter conversation, cornerback Antonio Cromartie confirms he would like to be in Carolina...

In the tweet he seems to indicate there has been no interest returned his way, however. "Interest fro both sides" is apparently not there. 

With the departure of Boykin yesterday, I highly doubt another veteran journeyman is signed to the Panthers roster. Dave Gettleman appears to be wanting to rip the bandaid off of the "rotating 1 year deal veteran player in the defensive backfield" issue. 

If the Panthers ever wish to be truly special, they need their own guys in the secondary. Guys that have bought into the team long term and have been brought up within the system. 

If Boykin's release is any indication, the Panthers think they have found those players in Bradberry, Worley, and Sanchez.

makes a lot of sense to me: a workable veteran with experience with Rivera in San Diego? Then again, Boykin made a lot of sense to me too. So what do I know. Then again, it's tough to see Carolina picking up a journeyman after they just dropped before even seeing him in training camp. I really am flabbergasted (aye, flabbergasted) by us cutting Boykin.

Just thinking about baseball helps.

I try to name all of the backup olinemen which leads to some internal discussion. "....williams, Scott, folkerts.... Wait. Do we still have folkerts? No, I think he is gone... Hmm when did we let him go? I wonder if my wife will see if I pull my phone out and check...."

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
