There are zero reasons why Moton was not extended last off season.

Instead of extending Moton and James a year before they would have hit free agency, we instead spent that money on Shaq, Teddy, Anderson, and KK.

Dumb team.

Hurney gonna hurndog. We just have to pay the price this season and deal with it. Which ever it is extension or tag.

Marty's Tanked this team like its 2010 all over again

Fixed that for you.

Tanking is what we did when we kept Ron and Marty on for 1 too many seasons.  We had already tanked, it was time to start building our way toward a complete roster overhaul, Marty didn't see this and continued on trying to win.

Now we have even bigger of a mess to clean up.

It would be absolutely insane to let Moton walk, but if we did and decided to not tag him and trade him we should just give up all hope on building a winning franchise. The Falcons traded Sanu for a 2nd round pick and he couldn’t even make the Patriots roster the following year and he was in his 30’s. No way we can’t get a 2nd round pick for Moton

Moton was not resigned when he would’ve been reasonable because there was no money, most dead cap in the NFL, it would’ve taken a genius GM to figure that out, which we don’t have.

I know a lot of our fans weren’t here for the entirety of Hurney 1.0, but let me clear up it for you. Hurney is a double edged sword. Either he is not signing who he should be, signing who he shouldn’t be, or letting good players walk for no compensation OR he’s super interested and overpays them immensely bringing us back to the top of this post. This is the Hurney cycle. Get used to it.

Every time this team says it builds through the draft in a conference I gag. You don’t draft players like Norman, Norwell, Bradberry and Moton only to spend their future money like an idiot on a crippled Olsen, Gano, Olsen, KK, or M. Kalil...

We do NOT build through the draft.

The one Panther player we cannot afford to lose?????

 

 

 

Answer:

He don't play here anymore.

 

 

 

Are you referring to the QB with these stats in 2020?:

2020 season stats · YDS 1,984 23rd · TD 4 30th · INT 9 Tied-23rd · QBR 50.6 26th.

What's long been a profile (and complaint) with Marty is that he only thinks a year at a time.

Even in the draft.   The best drafters understand that next year's needs are not best filled by rookies. Most rookies underpeform. After rounds 1 and maybe 2, you are drafting for depth and holes that will be needing filling in 2-3 years down the road.

I disagree with the "no money" thing.

There was money, Hurney just spent it in all the wrong places.

Moton is 6'5" 325 pounds. How much longer before he has a lower body or back injury? How much longer before his body starts breaking down, and that 325 pounds weighs him down and he becomes Mr. IR? If he receives a big fat contract and something on his heavy body starts hurting he'll be holding hands with Okung on the bench counting his money. And the Huddle will blame Hurney for signing him long term. Why not draft a fresh new RT in the 2nd or 3rd and save a ton of money? I'm not saying that is the best course of action, but I can see how not resigning Moton might be a good idea.

Then the pick traded for Greg Little.  The Patriots picked Chase Winovich.

Dammit :mad:

Winovich had a mildly impressive rookie year. Been in the doghouse for much of this season though... Sounds familiar?

    • Here’s a summary of the JJ and Luke podcast transcript. Opening / Bryce Young Fifth-Year Option     •    JJ: Breaking news — Panthers picked up Bryce Young’s fifth-year option at $25.9M, guaranteed, coming in 2027. Combined with his 2025 salary of ~$6M, that’s $31M over two years — called it a “no-brainer.”     •    Luke: Enthusiastic about the move. Highlighted Bryce’s improving TD/INT ratios (11/10 → 15/9 → 23/11) and the value of entering year three with Dave Canales. Noted $25M is a bargain relative to the $60M top of market. Luke’s Personal Update — Charlotte Christian Football     •    Luke: Working with Charlotte Christian school football program, which hired a new head coach. Coaches include Greg Olsen, Luke, and Greg’s dad Chris Olsen (a New Jersey State coaching Hall of Famer).     •    JJ: Jokingly quipped that Charlotte Christian’s coaching staff is “the world’s greatest” — a Fox analyst, a Hall of Famer, and the best Panthers RB ever — all coaching middle school football.     •    Luke: Praised Chris Olsen’s deep football knowledge spanning decades and his ability to connect with kids. Round 1, Pick 19 — Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia     •    JJ: Panthers were on the clock and submitted their pick almost immediately — a sign of confidence and preparation. Freeling is 6’7”, 320 lbs, played in the SEC in a pro-style system.     •    Luke: Loved the pick. Emphasized you can never have too many quality offensive linemen. Noted Freeling’s size, athleticism, and arm length as key traits. Said the pick also reflects team’s philosophy of drafting great people, not just great players.     •    JJ: Noted reporter Darren Gantt compared Freeling favorably to Jordan Gross — bigger, heavier, and faster — as a potential franchise left tackle.     •    Luke: Pointed out that young players like Freeling still have physical development ahead of them, comparing the trajectory to Christian McCaffrey’s growth from age 20 onward. Round 2, Pick 49 — Lee Hunter, DT, Texas Tech     •    JJ: Panthers traded up from 51 to 49 (pick swap with Minnesota) to grab Hunter. Played audio from Panthers area scout Kaden McLuhan, who scouted Hunter.     •    Scout Kaden McLuhan (audio): Said Hunter’s size is immediately striking, and that everyone around him spoke glowingly about his character, energy, and love for the game.     •    Luke: Praised Hunter as a massive (6’3”, 320 lbs, ~34” arms) two-gap nose tackle who fits perfectly in the Evero defense. Compared his prospect profile to Akiem Hicks. Said having Derek Brown, Bobby Brown, Derrick Brown, Terson Wharton, and now Hunter creates varied body types that stress offensive linemen.     •    JJ: Noted Hunter ranked third among all prospects in run-stuff rate and sixth in interior pass-rush win rate — addressing a perception that he couldn’t rush the passer. Rounds 3–7 Highlights     •    Luke: Highlighted WR Brazle (3rd round, 6’4”, 437 speed, 1,000+ yards at Tennessee) as the vertical threat the offense needed. Also praised OL Sam Heck (5th round) as a technically sound player whose “short arms” caused him to fall but who has proven himself.     •    Luke: Mentioned CB Will Lee (6’1”, 33” arms) fits the Panthers’ DB prototype — big, long corners.     •    Luke: Praised S/LB hybrid Zaki Wheatley (5th round, 6’3”) as a big nickel similar to Trayvon Merek.     •    Luke: Excited about the linebacker competition between Devin Lloyd, Trevvin Wallace, and Claudin Cherless.     •    JJ: Noted Panthers had the #1 “steal/overreach” rating in the entire draft — drafting players lower than consensus big boards projected. Around the League     •    Luke: Admitted being “a little jealous” that the Miami Dolphins drafted LB Jacob Rodriguez (Luke’s favorite LB in the draft). Has personal connections to Miami’s coaching staff (Jeff Hafley, DC Shawn Dugen — a childhood teammate).     •    Luke: Also noted Miami’s selection of OT/G Kaden Proctor out of Alabama, who will likely move to guard. League Trends — Bigger Tight Ends / 12 & 13 Personnel     •    JJ: Observed the NFL saw its highest run rate in ~11 years (~52%) and a notable pivot toward big blocking tight ends in this draft.     •    Luke: Explained the cyclical nature of NFL offense/defense evolution — as defenses get smaller to match spread offenses, teams counter with bigger personnel (12/13 formations), which then forces defenses to get bigger at the nickel/“big nickel” spot. Called it an ongoing arms race.
