Congrats to Al, but I did not expect him to be in that high of demand this early.  That is surprising.  Also, after his "willing to play for a discount," comment here, i wonder if we even showed any interest?  Not that I wanted him back, because I didn't, lol.

i wouldnt be surprised if Marvin gave us a hometown discount and came in at $10-11mil.. he knows we need 1-2 other players (backup PG and defensive C) to be a legit contender in the East.. he was the only one in exit interviews that expressed absolute feelings of wanting to come back for sure

At that price I wouldn't be so upset but 12-17 million makes me sick to my stomach.

The first year Al was amazing.  The last two years was ugly.  He had some great games for us these last two years, and will miss that low post scoring ability, but this isnt much of a big loss as people will make it out to be.  Right now we sit at Kemba, Batum, MKG, Frank, Cody starting (with the strong possibility of Marvin being added soon) and a bench of Bellinelli, Lamb, Daniels and Hawes to name a few.  Grab a backup PG and a defensive stopping C and we will still be right there.  We have pretty much added a big FA in MKG, so the three of Kemba-Batum-MKG will be one of the best backcourts in the NBA.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
