Panthers should have just put Bene on IR.

Here's the bene timeline.

Bradberry goes down, bene steps in and gets totally burnt.

Panthers cut him Friday after much debate.

About 3-4 teams put in wavier claim, Miami wins.

After a few weeks Miami cuts him as well, no one claims him this time.

Bene signs onto miamis' practice squad.

Cut form practice squad at seasons end, not even given a future s contract.

Green bay signs him to Their practice squad in the playoffs.

Green bay cuts him after playoff loss.

Free agency starts, time passes 

Bene vists NY Jets, no contract is given.

Bene signs cheap deal with Bengals.

 

Now this where the panthers also look correct in hindsight. I mean it was a tough decision, but if the medical staff says he's healthy, it's tough to IR him. I was a bene guy, but recovery form injuries is a skill too. In a short time a few teams cut ties completely with bene, thats saying plenty. Offseason player workouts are a little subjective, given that's the best time to use PEDs. Hope he has a nice career.

this is why I can never bring my wife to a jacksonville game. she would wear a suit like this and people would be posting pictures of her on the huddle. 

Orrrrrrrr you end up getting blackout drunk, talk to other girls, say stupid poo and have your girlfriend use your credit card to stay in a seperate room. 

Thank god the Panthers were pulling out W's on these trips that year because I was definitely leaving with L's. Cancelled each other out

    • No one way to do it, it does appear that with the bigger draft picks of the last 5 years…..majority haven’t steered clear of young QBs on the roster being their hopeful guy. Especially past their rookie seasons but even some the biggest ones have had it early.   As far as Andy Dalton, the two young guys he has “mentored”…..have had very rough NFL starts.  Which really ask the why the heck is Dalton here.   He doesn’t really check any box.  No young potential.  Can’t step in and win.  And his mentor track record with Fields and now Bryce is bad 
    • I had thought the Panthers might let him play out his contract this year and hope he stays healthy. If not draft a left tackle and move Ekwonu to right tackle. 
    • Frankly, if most teams in the NFL lose their starting QB for a significant amount of time, they're screwed. The fantasy is that one has a future Tony Romo or a Nick Foles that can carry a stacked team. The reality is that you might get roughly 3~5 games out of your backup before it all falls apart. Remember all of Peyton Manning's backups? Utterly terrible. Speaking of backup QB's, Raiders may need one. https://www.nfl.com/news/raiders-qb-aidan-o-connell-suffered-fractured-wrist-in-preseason-finale-expected-to-be-out-6-8-weeks
