So far I've been wrong about Burns. Prior to the draft I thought he was currently too thin to make an immediate impact and greatly benefited from the talent on that FSU defense. But the kid has an insane motor, violent hands, incredible bend and ridiculous speed. If this carries over to the regular season I'll gladly eat crow all of the way to the NFL Honors.

"violent hands" is a hell of a band name.

You don’t get comeback for missing like three games do you?

This

Plus Bell shouldnt get it imo since he held out, he could've played last year but he sat out.  He's not coming back from anything other than crying about his contract from his couch

Another interesting takeaway from the article: 18 different coaches got at least 1 vote for coach of the year. Notably missing from that list? Rivera. Not saying I expect him to win it, but when over half of the coaches have at least one vote, it is a little odd that 2x coach of the year Rivera doesn't even merit one. Probably a reflection of the fact that not many people expect a big year from us.

There’s no requirement of a minimum missed games, plus everyone knew he was hobbled for more than half the season. And if Bell can get a buncha votes when he simply decided not to play because of money, I think Cam is definitely deserving...

      Little worried about Jarvy Shoulder and that torn cuff, it's needed surgery for 2 years now and he's gonna play with it injured again next season.    I like the toughness but would definitely prefer it to be fixed. He's an intritical player on the team going forward.    Also I was high on pain pills last time I wrote about saving cap space but I didn't go into detail cause I wouldn't have been able to do so. "still on a ton of pain medication but not as nearly as many, think I'm down to 23 pills a day from 32 a few days ago, 18 of them are for pain management in some form or another."     But I digress let's get to the point I was trying to make in my last post about saving, I'll now use Jarvis as an example.    Let's say the canes spend 23m of the 28m in space they have available. Then have Jarvis get surgery and put him on LTIR at the start of the regular season.  You let the cap space sit til the trade deadline. At the deadline that cap space would have accural on it and the team can use that space and spend 24m on incoming salary for the rest of the season. Let's say they bring in 5 players and send out two. "player A has an 8m AAV contract" he'd cost Carolina 4m the rest of the season. Player B makes 10 "cost of 5. So forth and so forth.  Using that accural system and the Jarvis LTIR, the Canes could then go into the playoffs with a healthy Jarvis and be 19m over the cap legally for a cup run. The more cap space available at the start of the season, the larger the accural would be at the trade deadline.    That was the first part of what I was going to try and articulate the other day but I'm on 35mg of oxy every 6 hours plus ketorolac and two other pain pills and another for kidney spasms.    Have a wonderful night everyone

      Will history repeat itself and Carolina make it to NFCCG this year?

      The main thing that makes the NFL so appealing is how unpredictable it is
