And, no, this time I'm not linking the article because I'm tired of the Charlotte Observer's poo about going over my allotment and a digital subscription. They ain't the only game in town, so fug 'em!

Anyway, Palardy has been doing well from all reports, so much so that it's not a stretch to believe that he really could replace Lee, and to be honest most of us probably couldn't see that coming based upon last season. I mean, there was a marked difference between their averages, and honestly Palardy was a bottom feeder in the rankings. Now, Palardy has upped his game so much that he actually might take Lee's spot.

Now, I know there was at least one person in a thread the other day that suggested that Palardy might have some trade value, but we may be getting to the point where the FO is looking at Lee's trade value as opposed to the much younger, perhaps more durable, Palardy.

Now one thing I'd like to add is that Lee is one of the better directional punters in the league, but Palardy looks like he has even boned up on that skill as well. 

Of course most of us aren't privy to the practices, but if Palardy keeps punting like he has been this preseason, then would it really be wise to let him walk if he could answer the call for the next decade or more?

What most of you fail to realize is that Mike had a bunch of short yardage punts (45-50-45 yard lines) that brought his average down last season. In the 8 games he played, he rarely had chances to boom the ball from deep in his own end. The Panthers coaches realize this - and people forget Mike led the nation his senior year at Tennessee in punts inside 20. Oh, yeah - as a lefty, the ball rotates off his foot differently - more difficult for returners to gauge than right footed punters.

Oh lord here comes sanjay to claim we can save enough by cutting Lee to sign everyone else on the team to extensions.

This right here is sanjay's ideal roster:

Three positions left, just enough room for a QB, kicker, and punter.

when they pop that stupid annoying subscription window up just close it and then proceed to open said link in incognito mode (assuming you're on google chrome)

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I've been hearing all about this "winning culture" for years while watching us piss away top shelf draft position with meaningless late season wins when we're already eliminated from the playoffs but being assured this is building "winning culture" just to inevitably suck again next year. With that said, I'll always take a playoff berth. Just make the dance and you have a chance to make some noise. But spare me the "winning culture" bullshit.

      Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.
