I'm not talking about last year. I'm talking about what they're doing in this draft, which is very impressive. We have all seen how quickly things can change in the NFL so don't count them out because of last year.

 

As for Njoku, why would they draft him in the 1st round and not start him? This is what teams do when they're rebuilding.

Because Njoku is raw as hell. They took the best prospect in the draft at #1 overall, but they still don't have a QB. If they had planned to draft a QB at #8 or a trade up from #8, then they probably should've just taken the guy at #1 instead. As long as they don't have a QB they won't be able to consistently compete. The other two guys they drafted are both very talented, but also very raw.

We walked away from Captain, that didn't stop him from returning.

We walked away from Ted Ginn, that didn't stop him from returning.

I see your point, but I don't think he would be against coming back. Just depends on what he wants to do at this stage of his career.

The only issue here is that I'm not sure we walked away from Captain or Ginn. I think they walked away from us. In Captain's case, he got a wayyyy better offer than he could have gotten here. Ginn is just a mercenary and is going to take whatever contract has the most zeros. From Gary's tweet, he emphasized opportunity with Cleveland... which seems to suggest he didn't get much of one before that. Maybe I'm reading too much into that, but I don't know if I would feel comfortable as a player signing on with zero hope of being the starter at 32 and this being basically your last chance to cash out somewhat big.

      BREAKING: Panthers adding to coaching staff

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      To be comforted by this hire, his position title needs to be  Dude who calls offensive plays instead of Dave Canales.  If someone could confirm that is written on his office door I will sleep better.

      Should've been: Duren and Moose: 2 each (Duren for starting it, Moose for going crazy after lol) Bridges: 3 (1 for defending Moose, 2 for escalating further with Stew) Stewart: 10 (fug that dude, came off the bench, long history already, NBA should've sent a message with double digit games)   Oh well, I think we can weather the storm for 4 games. A win tonight would be huge as the next couple after are tough, vs Houston and Cleveland. Last game against the Wizards should be a win even short handed. Then back to full strength and keep the train rolling. Still thinking we get a 7 or 8 seed and win 1 of a potential 2 in the play-ins to make the real playoffs. 6 seed and skipping the play-in entirely is a tough ask. But I do think we are better than Magic, Heat, Hawks and can pass 2 of them before the end of the regular season.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      Hmmm... Well, one of them consistently got dumb penalties that you never see any other receiver commit like offensive offsides on 4th down. One of them consistently would just run routes out of bounds for no reason. XL's only saving grace is that he has been a solid blocker at WR for us There is a reason XL often didn't get the ball thrown to him - he made some of the dumbest mistakes I have ever seen from a receiver... Even receivers that have zilcho talent (Mingo, Terrace Marshall, and all of our other WR draft busts) didn't make mistakes this dumb. It is bad enough when you aren't helping your team because you can't get open; it is much worse when you are so bad and dumb that you are actively hurting your team. I honestly don't think there is any fixing XL. The dude is just an idiot and lacks any kind of awareness and common sense on and off the football field
