Not seeing the logic, it's not like we backed out without cause

We're probably pissed and feel like he and/or his agent misled the hell out of us. They probably either completely withheld the injury or greatly downplayed it. I'm sure he wasn't the only CB we were considering and then by the time he finally drug his ass to Charlotte for our docs to get eyes on his trench rotted foot it was too late to make an alternate move on another quality young FA CB. Breeland fuged us and burned that bridge.

Hell, delaying his arrival in Charlotte was likely planned. They were probably hoping that since all the other quality options would be off the market by that point that we'd be desperate enough to just sign him anyway.

I thought it was weird when he didn't show to sign on Wednesday but I didn't think too much into it, but it quickly became apparent yesterday why that was. I mean, if you had a multi-million dollar contract on the table, wouldn't you be there ASAP? My ass would've been camping out outside of the Panthers' office like those idiots at Best Buy leading up to Black Friday.

Yea so not sure how this could be spun against us in any way shape or form. You can't just show up to sign a good contract with a fuged up foot that needs a skin graft and be like "oh yea that, had me a cut"..."stubbed it ya know"...."the usual 4 month stubbed foot cut recovery time".

Voth is saying the PC thing here, but I'm betting both sides have no interest in revisiting.

Breeland obviously thinks the injury is no big deal and I'm sure the Panthers feel misled by Breeland not disclosing what their doctors  (and frankly any doctor) would think. And that delay obviously cost them the opportunity to negotiate with other players that have since signed contracts.

It's an unfortunate situation, but Breeland screwed himself and only has himself to blame. 

I think he will ultimately sign a 1 year incentive laden deal and try again for FA next year

Our doctors when they saw that foot

I could have compound fractures in both legs and I assure you I'd act like it was "no big deal" if it was standing between me and a multi-million dollar contract.

      Round 7: The Carolina Panthers select LB Jackson Kuwatch (Miami of Ohio)

      By bigginpc · Posted

      He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.

      This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.

      Round 5: The Carolina Panthers select C Sam Hecht (Kansas State)

      I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
