Said in other threads he was a option. Hes no different than most, got his bag and basically quit. Given Rhule wants to be the best 3-13 team and the state of the CBs, he'd be a upgrade even if he isnt ready. Herinay doesnt need to waste draft pick either. In turn he could a comp pick if he plays wells and a team signs him to nice deal.

Not sure he’d be an upgrade or would be worth paying/not letting the young guys play. He’s almost 31, that’s when solid CBs are basically done. Revis was 31 when he hit the wall. Same with Talib. They weren’t the same after 30 and Johnson isn’t nearly as good as those two were as much as I despise Talib. Sanders might be the only CB I remember still being a stud but he hit that wall at 33, still played more but not the stud and again way better.

I’d rather let Pride get more experience and be better 2 years from now than maybe get a little better this year.

Did I miss something with Apple? I was in the boat against bringing him in mainly because he’s a bit whacky but is he that bad that he isn’t seeing the field and we are having to fish for another CB?

Apple went on IR when we resigned Efe

Yea it seems age hits CBs the hardest, but we have no clue his conditioning. That one CB for the viking played until last year, was 38... Im bugged I dont remember his name. Still pride didnt play poorly at all, but at any point could become shocked toast. I have little to no hope for Djackson or Apple. 

I have seen teams throw fresh WRs at CB to wear on them(mainly go routes), its almost a trend now. If they see you tired, its on.

Ehh, why not just roll with the young guys? What does signing him actually do for us? Sure he'll be a slight improvement, but does he really help our team win games/make the playoffs. I don't think so. I mean I wouldn't hate it but just don't see the point

Pride did not play well. He was way out of position several times. Of course, so was most of our defense, but yeah. 

I thought he played well all things consider. No rookie camp, OTAs, weird TC, 4th rounder rookie, didnt get 1st team reps til Apple had injuries etc etc.  Hes wasnt very willing to tackle, but made a couple. Better than I excepted for 1st yr rookie picked in the 4th, honestly he shouldnt be starting but thats on herniay..

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      fuging Christ dude this isnt hard.  Like at all.  I get you simping for this poo team is your thing but sometimes you have to look at reality.   Even removing his bum knee from the equation, none of this made sense.  He is 31.  He has been paid handsomely for his service here.  He was currently under contract for this season.  Why in the holy fug did anything have to be done 2 weeks before the season started.   The people for this move, in this thread are saying A) He deserved it (this is the nfl it doesnt work like that  B) It frees up cap space (then why in the fug didnt we do this in Feb or C) You logic (We are getting a deal at 53 million guaranteed for the next 3 years.   You realize with this deal we cannot cut or trade his ass for 3 years.  You understand this right?   So in my opinion we should have let this ride into the offseason and go from there, what he is going to threaten to walk, big fuging deal he would be 32 on a chronically bad knee, what other moronic franchise is going to give him 40 million up front?  It wasnt going to happen.   And you are acting like its impossible to replace a 32 year old RT with a bum knee.  Just go and draft someone, move Icky to RT.  There are tons of options instead of extending this dude 2 weeks before the fuging season.  The truth is Morgan and the shitheads in the FO fell for this dudes crying act and got all sentimental and shelled out another ext.  We are a poverty ass franchise that doesnt act professionally

      Amazing what the prospect of being traded to Carolina will do for contract negotiations.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By HPPantherzfan · Posted

      5 Im glad football is back but after the embarrassment that was the browns pre season game where our starting D made Sanders look like a serviceable NFL QB, I lost hope again for a successful Panthers campaign this year.  I do hope I’m wrong!
