After TD and Olsen....Norwell should be Next

TD and Olsen should get done pretty quickly and I hope and pray Hurney doesn't go Jon Beason or Jonathan Stewart crazy on the deals.

I think after these two players.  Norwell needs to get done.  I would think if we offered him the same as Turner we could lock him up.

I believe it is critical to our future.  Kalil as great as he is, isn't going to last forever. Having Norwell and Turner locked up for the next 4 or 5 years will make the transition for a new center much easier than having a free agent.  Not to mention the comfort level Cam will have with these two.

I dont even think TD needs an extension

 

 

 

dude looked bad last year. And a very tape oriented, honest, tell it like it is GM thinks he has deteriorated. Which he has. Time to let the 35 year old linebacker play out his last year of his deal and have him walk

 

that is the smart thing to do. The emotional dumb thing to do is to extend him further repressing Shaqs playing time and making it harder to retain younger guys. 

 

Seems like a lot of you guys are drinking the enotional, sentimental coolaid. Cant have it both ways. Cant dog on hurney but then turn around and say we should extend TD

 

we shouldnt. Period.

I would do Norwell first.  Olsen's already getting paid top 5 money, he just wants a top 5 contract and that's just a matter of extending him.  I wouldn't be surprised if they give him a couple of years on the end just so they can spread out his cap hit a little.

Once you get Norwell done, you have to look at what Star is going to command, and then you know how much you need to manage the cap through Olsen and what you can afford to pay Davis.

I wonder how Gettleman would have done it.  Regardless, I don't think Gano and his $4,000,000 hit makes it out of camp.

SMH.  In comparison to who? 100 + tackles , 3 picks, 4 PD's  3.5 sacks.  Who is that a bad year for?  Compared to the previous year he is off by a few sacks.. but the defense over all was worse, especially in the secondary and early in the year on the pass rush.  Why are people making $%$% up about TD just because he wants an extension?   

He basically took almost 3 1/2 years off due to injury so he doesn't have the wear of someone who played the same amount of time.  Argue the length of the extension all you want, but don't make up poo about his play.  That's fugging stupid.

Norwell should get done before TD, and Greg still has 2 years left, he can wait til next season, no other team in the league gives in when people whine about wanting more money early...you signed the damn contract, now honor your end of it.

 

Do teams always honor the contract the end?   

You people.... it's like you are ...  ugghhhh...

If the panthers want to do TD and Olsen a solid, just restructure and turn more into guaranteed bonus - maybe a small extension. This helps the player out because they are protected in case of injury or getting old and sucking and it helps the team out with cap because we can spread it out. Either way, unless their extensions are necessary for freeing up money to sign Norwell, the TD and Olsen contracts are not where my focus would be. They are both under contract. Focus on the young, dependable guy whose contract is about to expire. He is 100% going to make more money on the market... sign him now. Olsen and TD would not make more if they left when their contracts expire. 

Edit: Also, consider that LT and Center are far from sure things at this point. Why create an extra hole on the line if you can avoid it?

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
