Resign Norwell & Star.

*Also Peppes, Byrd, Clay, Palardy, Larsen & Gunter

Everybody else can go.

I like this list, but I think that Star will price himself out of our range (Norwell is more important as we try to re-establish a running game under Norv). All the others should be cheap (Pep will only play in Carolina IF he plays at all). I might add Gano and Dickson if they are willing to work cheap.

We can afford both. Honestly with Stars comments I'm not sure he wants to be back. He basically said I played for the Panthers 5 years because I had to. 

He knows that his earning potential has a shelf life, and he wants to get paid. Who can blame him? If some other team wants to give him more cash, he should take it. That doesn't mean that he doesn't like it here. Players at the end of their careers, like CJ and Pep, can afford to give a home team discount, not someone who's coming off a rookie contract.

I'd say let them both walk. I know that sounds insane, but we would get compensation from picks, and can save that cap for big free agent splash moves, and extending existing players on the team.

I'd have to see the long term impact on the cap for them to really justify this strategy, but we don't want to end like the raiders and cowboys, where we spend a sh*t load on the o line and zero on talent at the skills positions.

I could see that being a very real scenario.

I feel extremely confident about one thing this year:

Somehow, someway, brenton bersin will find a way to play in a panthers jersey next year at some point. Death, taxes, and brenton bersin getting a panthers contract. Those are guarantees in life.

I pray that does not happen.

He will get paid plenty if he stays. There's a reason he lives in Utah though.

You can pencil in Byrd, Larsen, and Palardy on next year's roster since they are all exclusive rights FA which means they can only play for Panthers unless they are not offered a contract.

      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.

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

      By TD alt · Posted

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

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

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
