Carolina Panthers signing Matt Kalil

I'll wait until I see the contract numbers before I really react, but I'm just happy a move was made to try and protect Cam. If it's a contract worth 4/28 mil, then that's not too bad. Now, I hope another OL is added, as well as a S and DE. We can then focus on the offense come draft time.

Jared Veldheer could've been signed and we never would've lost a beat with Gross retiring. 

Theres your name, now deal with the fact something could've been done a long time ago

I agree that Jared turned out good but wasn't there some other free agent tackles that year that turned out worse than Oher?  Collins maybe?

Basically DG went from Gross to Bell to Oher.

I know Bell didn't work out but somebody in the front office or on the coaching staff, probably a combination of both, felt he was ready and the only way you find out is to let them play.  People around here get mad when the younger back up type players don't get a chance but than if they do and play bad they get mad at us not singing a FA to be in the spot.

After Bell, which we moved on from quickly, DG signed Oher, and whether people want to believe it or not that turned out to be a really good signing.  In 2015 he was an above average LT for a really good price and we had one of the top offensive lines in the league.

As we all know he missed most of this year and our entire line struggled.  This idea that we should have a quality backups that instantly step in and have no drop off is a bit delusional.  There aren't 32 quality starting LTs in the league let alone 64.

Speaking of Kill I was actually more of a  Whitworth fan for the fact he seemed more of a sure thing.  Even if it was only for a few years and maybe more expensive.

Hopefully the coaches see something.

Gettleman using Free Agency to set up the draft.

Now he'll go DB or DE in the 1st most likely and upgrade the RB position. I expect Cam to bounce back with a huge year once he's confident in the Oline again.

Can't wait to play the Falcons and crap right down their new sphincter hole stadium.

Thanks for answering the call Dave.

Matt was a stud in college, and looked great his first year in the league. He's got the physical tools, and he's played at a high level before. I think being with his brother will be huge for him. Matsko has done a good job coaching guys up, so I think it's a good move. He's a monster of a guy. Whatever his hip injury was, I don't believe Gettleman would have signed him if it was a looming issue. I'm always optimistic, why waste time wringing your hands over football?

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
