We'd have significant cap space devoted to a guy who wasn't playing. Space that wouldn't roll over to next season like it will now.


You mean like we did with Greg Hardy ?

Different question, when's the last time a player has held out for a significant amount of time? I think Kam chancellor is the last person and It didn't last very long

It was not a mistake drafting him. It was a mistake expecting him to start day 1. He should be a backup learning behind a seasoned vet so he could shine next year.

That is not very common with 1st rounders.

He wasnt a first rounder. He was 2 picks away from being a third rounder. Our first rounder has been a backup this year.

Yeah....I just realized that. I was wrong. still it's not that uncommon for draft pick to start. Norman started as a 5th round rookie.

@CRA often comes off as a negative SOB to me, but I think he's got a pretty valid point about James not facing a QB who's going to and has the ability to take shots down the field the way Brees does. Tonight is going to be a great test of him. Hope the youngin' is up for it. 

Bradberry is a good at mirroring the routes and tracking the ball down. He ususally doesnt get beat flat out he is kind of like Luke always around the ball.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a Bradberry fan. But it's accurate to say he's never faced a QB like he will tonight. If we don't get pressure (like we didn't the first game) then who knows how he will hold up.

I hope we get pressure..  Everything depends on that. But there aren't a ton of corners that can cover well when their team gets no pressure on the qb

I don't know why, but I have a feeling we win tonight.  I legit have ZERO reasons why.  But, I just feel it in my plums.  Got a nice bluish hue to em.  Getting ready to take em to the farmers market.  Special two plums for one.

Yeah I think we are too, TBH. And I think Bradberry will be fine tonight. And I think it's all because our D-Line has started to get the pressure we were lacking. 

 

However......

 

 

I"m wrong about the Panthers often.

      ESPN's All Quarter Century Team 2000-2025

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.

      So where can I find out tailgating parking spots for the season?

      By toldozer · Posted

      I parked in this lot a few times. It would take over and hour to get out of that lot after games. Never again
