Tre Boston’s reasoning for being cut

Recommended Posts

This could be absolutely nothing and just the wrong choice of words to be using. But he says he was being let go cuz of a “rebuild”...now we all know we were super close to trading for Stafford which is the opposite of a rebuild. And a ton of people are still holding on to the hope we get Watson. But “rebuild” isn’t the term I’d equate to going after Watson. Falls more in line with drafting.

I also realize management doesn’t  have to tell Tre their plans on whether they are rebuilding or if they are simply retooling. Just found that reasoning interesting and wanted to get ur thoughts.

I wouldn’t read a thing into that. We don’t know what the FO told Tre or why they told him what they told him so it really makes no difference. Both sides handled parting ways with class, that’s all.

Frankly the most I'd read into his comment is he wants to keep the door open from his end to come back on the cheap but it sounds like the FO/Coaches are moving on from him.

Love Tre he seems like a great guy and players respect him

But as much as he wants to believe this is due to “rebuilding” or “dead cap” reality is we are building a defense of young, athletic players that play with an edge and play aggressive and a safety that seems to shy away from contact and is limited athletically doesnt fit those plans

 

you dont build a nasty OLine full of road graders and then put Reggie Bush behind them

Rebuilding the backend 👍

Yeah; Carolina is clearly not 'rebuilding'. The pieces are falling into place, the rebuild was last off-season.  Now it's players being comfortable in the system, rookies being developed, and adding more star potential.  This is a 2-3 year rebuild.

Year 2 is here, they don't want to have yet another bad year for the sake of the future.

Basically a nice way of saying you’re not worth the money you’re paid, you’re playing time is better spent on a rookie where there’ll be little drop off and higher potential, and you’re not worth the roster spot either

No shame in this.  Happens to every player eventually. 

How many people can say they reached the highest level in their profession?

Tre lived the dream.

Nah no shame in it. The slight isn’t on Tre. It’s on idiot Hurney. He played one year on a 3 year deal and never should’ve been signed. He was never worth a 3 year deal.

    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
