Extending Shaq vs Bradberry... another Hurney mistake?

Guess everyone knows James is looking for top CB money, I really don’t see how the Panthers can afford it or will even entertain the thought of paying him that kind of money when the roster looks like a hunk of Swiss cheese. 
 

Was just wondering what you guys think about Hurney extending Shaq instead of Brad now that we will more than likely lose our best CB.

   Both should have been done last year at much lower prices. That’s why you get to Moton and Samuel now. Not next year. 
 

   Shaq is young enough to be effective through his contract. It’s an OK deal. Little too much but not enough to hurt if he plays decent. And it shouldn’t affect JB decision. If you think JB is going to be a top 10 CB in 3 years, you sign him. If not, don’t. 
 

  Just don’t tag him. That’s useless.

Everything is a mistake, yet nothing is a mistake. 

Once you release all your expectations and begin to accept that this football team is destined for perpetual failure and disappointment, minuscule decisions like this are just lint on your boobs.

Shaq had a number that was close to what we wanted to retain him at, Bradberry did not. 

If James ever improves his ball skills then he'd earn more respect on a national level. 

Not a mistake at all, these things happen. Like any of us would be happy with Bradberry at his rumored number.

The way the rebuild is going on I don't see why we didn't just let Shaq and Bradberry go. We could of just got a cheaper LB. Nobody on this board likes Shaq anyway. 

I think Shaq is a good guy and has been a good player......Just not good enough for a second contract. When he had a death in the family last season the writing was on the wall that he was gonna get resigned. No way that happens and at the end of season the Panthers tell him to go find a new team. We all know how this team loves to build these emotional connections with the players which lead to bad business decisions.

Carolina seems to put a big value on the MLB position in terms of draft capital spent and contracts handed out. Picking Shaq over Bradberry is consistent with that but if it's correct remains to be seen. 

I do agree with picking Shaq over Bradberry. Shaq provides more versatility in what defenses he fits into. Bradberry is a zone corner and the FO couldn't have known what the new DC would run when they decided to sign Shaq.

    • Yea when teams see a gun charge they rightly pause but this seems like a big misunderstanding. 
    • Sorry man you lost me at "Teppers have evolved as owners". Limped into playoffs at 8-9 not even above .500 Tepper is trash as an owner bro and that's not even a discussion at this point. 37-83 w/l ratio. Nuff said.... Morgan tho, he's cooking and it ain't cuz of Teppers leadership
    • After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...
