David Newton says we are following the Eagles' model

I didn't see this posted anywhere....and maybe for good reason.

http://www.espn.com/blog/carolina-panthers/post/_/id/29487/panthers-using-formula-that-helped-eagles-win-the-super-bowl-with-receiver-overhaul

"So, general manager Marty Hurney began the overhaul with a formula eerily familiar to Philadelphia's."

This guy. Says by gettin rid of Benjamin and bringing in an older version of Smith and Jarius Wright, we are doing exactly what Philly did when they brought in a younger version of Smith and gave Alshon a $50 million contract.

I don't know about you guys, I didn't get the OMG-WE-SIGNED-ALSHON! vibe from these signings. It feels a little bit closer to when we signed Domenik Hixon.

lol, no...

We are using the same formula that we used in 2015.  Don't overpay for #1s when you can get a bunch of dudes who do one or two things well and use them creatively to maximize their strengths.

Cleaned that up a little.  :)

Yeah, I think the PHI plug is for headlines over anything related to what they're actually doing.

When you compare:

Ginn/Funch/Cotchery/Brown 

to 

Funch / Smith / Wright / Samuel & Byrd

I think you begin to see the team getting back to what worked best for Cam, the notion he needs all these big bodies due to ''inaccuracy'' was over-exaggerated, Cam's best with receivers that create space vertically, and horizontally, he's a ''sight'' thrower and that's not to say he lacks anticipation; however he's been at his best when his receivers have the threat of speed and can separate.

    • You honestly think Tampa would have traded down with a division rival so their rival could land a “generational player” at a massive position of need for TB?   bruh
    • Ya'll better quit throwing shots at Zod. He'll come in here and ban everybody. I had a friend @prosource who was banned in 2015 because he said some very minor things about Zod being an ass to the posters on the main forum after starting the All-Pro one. He said he felt like another level is cool, but don't punch down on people that don't want All-Pro. (He did say that it wasn't going to last long anyways.🤔) I distinctly remember him calling and being like "dude, I got banned, my profile says I don't have access to the Huddle!") I feel like once Tepper came in and cut off all unofficial access to the team, Zod was going to be around less. The All-Pro board had really good photos, even in game stuff, and I remember seeing him behind a little fenced in area at Wofford for non team sanctioned press/photographers after Tepper bought the team. I knew then his ego wouldn't allow him to continue with past fervency and effort with that reduction in access. Dude was literally in the locker room when JR was owner.  I came over in 2011 immediately after finding out this place existed. I was super involved with the Charlotte forum, and fell off after its demise. I will never forget arguing Pep over Ryan Sims on that forum! Who is Ryan Sims some of you may ask? My answer is exactly!
    • And not see him running free. Because has been free a lot more than he gets credit for.    Now what XL does with that when he does see the ball, is on him.
