Watching the Jets and I had totally forgotten that he signed with them. Why did he pick up and retire from Carolina and turn around and sign with the Jets.

Was it due to the fact that he was not happy how they where treating M.K, money issues, or just didn't want to play with this organization anymore.

he called everyone on the panthers before joining with the jets and asked them if he should, even ron, they all said yea. Said only reason he didn't come back to carolina is cuz we already got with a new girlfriend (m. Paradis)

Is that true??? Paradis can't hold R.K's jockstrap....

I always liked him, and defended him when fans said he was washed. But the retiring/unretiring song and dance was very disappointing. Ryan and Matt are laughing all the way to the bank, they'll be just fine.

I have a feeling Cam may do the same thing next year unless Rivera is gone.

That's putting it nicely. 

Agreed, but I'm willing to give him a few more games before calling the signing a bust.  Paradis was one of the best centers in the league until he broke his leg.  And there was nothing about that injury that should preclude him from returning to his pre-injury form.

Paradis spent all offseason recovering and didn't play in the preseason except for a few snaps.  I will be disappointed if he can't improve over the next few weeks.  He is a proven center.

That being said, Darryl Williams is not proven at LT, and the coaching staff seems hell-bent on making that work.  That is much more concerning to me.  His issue even at RT was speed rushers, and now he is facing the best speed rushers on the left side.  Tampa recognized it was an issue and exploited the hell out of it.

I don't know why we didn't make any adjustments to help him... He obviously is going to need help against good speed rushers.  I thought that was the reason we had a supposedly good blocking TE in Manhertz.  I think if we gave Williams some help via chipping he could be serviceable even though it's evident he's out of position.

I'm still at a loss of why the team won't strongly consider putting Greg Little out there since they raved about him being a true Left Tackle and slide Williams to LG.  Little will still need some help, but I think he could do just as well as a rookie LT as Williams is being obviously out of position.

I agree with switching out Williams' position. But why has he been the starter these 2 games? Because Greg Little had been in concussion protocol since early preseason. He was released from the protocol just 2 days before the last game. Little's not a vet; he couldn't just slip into the game plan and know what to do.  Why does everyone forget that when discussing Williams and LT? As if concussion protocol is a coach's fault. I expect to see changes made on the left side given our mini bye week.

Little has been in the concussion protocol. I think he's out now, but he's missed a ton of practice time.

Everyone is forgetting this. He came out of the protocol 2 days before the game. If he was a vet, maybe he could've handled the game plan. But you can't do that to a rookie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      This is always a non-story by the time camp begins.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      By TD alt · Posted

      I've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.

      overwhelming majority of kids in travel ball aren't getting scholarships though because most teams are rec caliber (and not watched by scouts)    and parents/leagues sort of helped create this system and narrative IMO where travel ball is now oversaturated and most of it is simply expensive rec ball.  is travel beneficial for some athletes to get more exposure? Sure. The ones travel actually existed for.   I still think travel has expanded entirely too broad at this stage......where they will now have 5 teams per year in your backyard area pending they can get parents to write those checks.   Ain't no scout ever laying eyes on 90%+ of the kids in travel ball at this stage of where it has morphed into.
