Joe Person: Taylor Moton not likely to return next year, Curtis Samuel might also leave

Will you people stop losing your minds off pure speculation from Joe Person? I genuinely can't imagine we don't franchise tag Moton at minimum. If there aren't active discussions, it's probably because Moton's agent isn't acting in good faith and refuses to consider any offer less than $20 million per year or something like that. If that's the case and you're Hurney, what do you do? Offer him that? No, you turf it to the offseason and place the franchise tag if they don't budge.

Its not pure speculation

Well joe Person did his job. Conjured up an article that led to mass hysteria within fans bases that purely based off speculation. 
 

to be fair his opinion is something we have all once discussed. Samuel and Moton will be expensive. The question is... are they the pillars of this franchise? RT is always a tough one... bc it’s not the most important role on the offensive line, so do you want to make it the most expensive as a franchise?

The hysteria began well before Joe's article 

 

 

RR broke it on Twitter the other day and he's got some pretty good sources (called the Cam situation verbatim)

Then WFNZ Charlotte sports radio caught on to RRs tweet earlier this week.  And their guys reached out to "multiple" sources.  All hearing the same thing.

 

Then Joe released the article throwing fuel on the already roaring fire

So let's review the mountain of evidence. A) There don't appear active discussions right now. B) The Panthers currently have about $26 million in projected cap room and Moton expects to command around $15 million.  

That's it. Person wants to drum up headlines, and a juicy take like Moton is unlikely to be resigned garners a lot more clicks than what ultimately amounts to Person saying "They haven't gotten a deal done yet and I'm not sure they can afford him so I don't think he's getting resigned." I call that speculation but if you consider that hard hitting insider info, that's your prerogative. Personally I would look at that same situation and say the Panthers could easily afford Moton's franchise tag by doing nothing else other than cutting Short with a post June 1st designation. And what team in their right mind wouldn't do that especially one with this much offensive line turnover anticipated in one offseason?

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
