We aren't trading for McCoy if they'd give him to us for a moldy ham sandwich. We can't absorb his contract. $13M base salary this season. The only way we're getting McCoy is if the Bucs release him and he's willing to sign for considerably less than his current contract.

To put it in perspective, if we traded for McCoy we'd be spending nearly $40M toward the cap with three DTs (Short at $17M, McCoy at $13M, Poe at $9.3M). That's over 20% of the salary cap in three DTs. Add Cam's $23M and you're at $63M with four players. That's nearly 35% of the entire salary cap on four players.

Everyone saw what happened to Green Bay— should have been Ted getting fired not Mike.

Aaron is that type of diva too, had just came off injuries also— just a horrible deal.

Russell does stay healthy, and he does consistently make crazy impossible plays,... but no one is worth 20% of your cap space,... I mean I’m diehard Cam Newton but if he started talking like that I would say the same,..

The formula is out there, and Pete wants to play defense and run the ball.  Mis-using RW's ability.

 

Move him for a boat and start over.

Who would Pete replace him with and get the same production? Definitely nobody in this draft class.

Production?  Like wins and losses?

Hard to win with vet QB's unless your team is in the New England region of the country.

Super ironic considering he lost a Super Bowl by not running the football instead trying to use the opportunity to pass the stardom from Beast Mode to RW. Talking about a backfire...

Strangely enough, according to the stats, it was the right call.

Lynch had not had a good year in goal to go runs, or less than 3 yards or something silly like that.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
