The Short restructure was even worse IMO.

I personally think Short is excellent but the Star loss was huge.  Poe and Love have only helped out so much and our run defense fell off dramatically when he was lost this year.  He's very well-rounded against the run and pass..not to mention still plays 1 through 5 tech.  Huge asset IMO but a bad bad contact.  20 mil for both 2021 and 2022 is pretty crazy but we can work around it.  Hurney should be frozen from making any further moves.

The contract is just brutal and has next to no cap flexibility. A classic Hurney move kicking the can down the road on an aging player.

Basically what you'd expect from someone who only thinks of right now.

It's inconceivable Tepper is allowing Hurney to stay. Don't have to think about right now or the future. Just look at the ghost of seasons past and end of his last tenure. This lies completely at Teppers' doorstep and will retard the recovery of this Franchise years into the future unchecked.

We'll be paying a 32 year old DT $20 million in 2021. 

Geno Atkins, Jurrell Casey and Linval Joseph's contracts are good comparisons, all right around the same age (30-31) and signed around similar times.  Both will be making about $7 mil less that Short towards the cap both in 2020 and 2021.  Yikes.  

Only two guys are set to make more than him in 2021: Aaron Donald and Fletcher Cox.

And what if we end up having nothing in them? Then you've essentially flushed another season down the toilet.

I'm glad it's not my call to make. The new staff is going to have to do a lot of evaluating  to do with not much to go off of.

That's the breaks.. But you have 2 young guys we don't know what they are yet.. They need development and game time like any other position.. Since we already spent the draft capital we might as well seen what we have 1st before we draft more..

All I'm saying is that if I'm the new regime I'm not passing opportunities to get better hoping that a 2nd and 6th rounders of a failed regime ultimately work out. If they do, great. Icing on the cake.

Hopefully as a new regime you 1st take stock in assets you already have before replacing them.. Atleast need to access what you already have investment in..

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!

      Well, if they know Tepper wants to keep Bryce there is an an implied safety net there in case he fails. A possibility that he will be empathetic and •maybe• not fire them.  If they go against that and bring in someone else and that fails they are in a much worse spot.  IMO.  And another factor may be that after all those years of instability and musical chairs pre Bryce there will likely be a feeling of security in knowing what they have.   Kind of like settling just to keep from going through the process all over again.     IOW I think he really needs to fug up bad to lose his job and change our course.
