Very true. 

 

Although the Panthers are in such a lucky position right now to have two stud defensive tackles ready to go. I feel like most teams would kill just to have one. 

I think last night goes to show why its inportant to have depth there

 

some teams are one injury away to having their entire defense compromised because of a weak core up the middle. Its not cliche, it all starts on the DL.

Except the question I asked.

You're missing the entire point. Whether is 6 weeks or 6 months, this isn't to be taken lightly in terms of depth and development of a 1st round draft pick. Not sure what your motive is in creating a discussion out of this.

You missed his point about rotations. You can't judge the backups when the entire 2nd or 3rd team defense is on the field. Norris or Mayo or Butler or McCray may have played well as the backups, but they aren't 11 guys, so you can't judge them on the entire 2nd team. Unless you think we will ever have a time when our entire starting D is out of the game, it's apples to oranges. If Mayo/Norris/Cash have to come in for a game or Butler has to come in for a game of McCray has to come in for a game, it makes a huge difference if they are next to 9 or 10 starters instead of next to 9 or 10 backups.

Anyway, Butler was limited last year. Only played 21% of the snaps, although I think his upside last year was 40% at most since Love was there and Star/Short played around 70%. That said, we need him healthy. I don't expect him to play 70% this year, but based on preseason, I expected him to have a big impact and knock on wood, he will.

It is funny how anyone who puts Gettleman in their post about Butler seems to imply he's injury prone after an illegal block.

I didn't miss his point. If you go back to the original point I made that he created a discussion out of he is dodging my original question and concern.

I never implied Butler was injury prone. I was stating that we have yet to see anything noteworthy out of a first round pick and that this injury is not helping his cause for development or our depth. If you think this won't affect our ability to maintain an elite defense you're soundly mistaken. His point about rotating guys isn't in question. It was actually my original point to begin with. Butler being out leaves us with much less inferior rotational options and when he does come back he will have several weeks of missed opportunity for growth.

Honestly, I have no clue what you two are even attempting to discuss at this point.

Yeah, not to be a Debbie downer but I think kb's acl tear was also first described as a sprain... So hoping for the best but not relieved yet

Don't tell that to some of these literal folk on here.

 

I don't believe any opinionated  reports until I actually hear something physiologically based on some type of imaging/screening done by a medical professional.

Plenty of guys have walked off the field only to be diagnosed with a torn ACL. You can casually walk around on a torn ACL, it's your knee's lateral stability that's gone.

Bingo. Just because you are weight bearing on it doesn't make it stable for the game of football.

He probably will play week one and I hope he stays healthy and is super productive over the next several years for us. I just don't see this being a 2 week story.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ

      I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
