Pff is a terrible site

 

But yeah all I heard this offseason was how there wasn’t a good tackle in this draft, but I knew it Ramczyk was a beast at Wisconsin 

Not a lot of other resources for rating offensive linemen. Plus, I don't need a rating to see how terrible Kalil is. Just watch a game.

If Ryan hyping up Matt was a reason we signed him, it makes me doubly glad we fired Gettleman. 

I honestly think JR is why we signed him. I don't fault Gettleman much for the Kalil thing cuz I just have a feeling his hands were tied

I loved Ramczyk. God damn was I pissed as hell when the Aints got both him and Lattimore. fug them, lucky fugs. Didn't expect Kamara to be that amazing before the draft but damn they got him late too. I hope all three come down to earth next year and this year is a total fluke.

Man if Dave had re-signed Ginn and picked up Whitworth? Sigh... Why did we have to have a Kalil brother hyping up Matt... 

Over 90% of the time I'm strongly against going for some big name free agent, but Whitworth was one guy that I would've gladly taken. Of course he's on the older side and at any point his play could fall off a cliff, but with a year to year contract that takes that into account he deserves to be a top 3 paid OT, and I'd have been happy to be paying that to him right now. I'm not going to say it was a misfire not signing Whitworth because who the hell knows if he would've even played here (maybe he wanted to go to the west coast...?) but the M. Kalil signing was definitely a misfire. A bad one too. If it was indeed a DG move then by far his worst move. I really think it was more JR though just because that signing was so uncharacteristic of DG compared to his other moves his entire time here.

I am not sure I buy into the JR meddling storyline only because it doesn't seem to jibe with the rest of the things that were rumored(that he wouldn't play ball with guys like TD, etc). Either way, inking that contract was a fireable offense if I have ever seen one. Even the layman could see what an awful move it was. One of the top 10 worst contracts this franchise has ever dealt out, and that is saying a lot.

It’s not like his numbers are really that much different from the past few years.  People though, or were hoping, something would be different.  I’m usually not a fan of overpaying free agents but I was hoping we would offer Whiteorth enough for him to consider us.

For those that want to point out Ramcyzk I would guess a lot of them would have picked Robinson.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!

      You do know the biggest military base in the US is located just an hour from Raleigh in Fort Bragg right? Military families are family oriented. A hour drive to games is nothing compared to traveling 3 hours to Charlotte.   Cmon man there is nothing happening in Western Carolina other than Charlotte. I only go west for outdoor activities and some nature/mountain views.

      Okay, who is coming. And how hard is it going to be to get tickets? I’m currently living in Germany a couple hours north of Munich. Happy to help facilitate a cheaper experience for help getting tickets lol.
