Fair point. Same standard applies though.

Perhaps, but personally I don't think its a bad deal.  He played well, and the contract is cheap, and incentive laden.  So if he gets injured next season and only plays two games, they owe him very little.  Who might they have signed for such a small amount of guaranteed money that would be a better choice?

I don't necessarily think it's a bad deal for a backup.

Concerns people might have about his ability to stay healthy though are pretty well warranted.

Can't we just be happy for the guy.  It's a pretty low salary for a backup.  A backup who outplayed Haskins.  Sorry watching that last game heinicke earned a contract.  If he had played back in that infamous game we would have lost.  We would have lost and we would be picking higher ya da ya da.  I for one am glad he got paid hurney and Ron can do what they want with that roster.  Doesn't concern my team. A team I celebrated for winning a late season game with draft implications.

Look, I'm glad to see him get paid and get an honest shot at it. Heck, he could somehow pull a Delhomme and catch lightning in a bottle. Probably not, but I always pull for the underdog.

In the end, they are spending Washington's money, too, so its definitely nothing out of my team's pocket, so spend away! Double it guys!

(I'd also rather have Heinicke on my bench than Grier in case of a dire emergency.)

Well that’s more of a mural thing if you actually know what you’re talking about. There’s a reason why no other QB wants to go there and why Tom left. The fuging roster is a mess. Might have the worst skill position group in the league.
 

Yet Cam walked into a team with the most opt outs, no WRs, no TEs, no offseason, Caught Covid and couldn’t practice for weeks AND STILL won more games than the Panthers...

I'm guess I don't know what I'm talking about. Did Cam design a mural to place at mid field?

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?

      LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.

      After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
