REPORT: No movement in Panthers’ talks w/ Taylor Moton


Recommended Posts

I know this isn't a popular opinion. But here goes. We have a new Sheriff in town. He hasn't been here a full year. Maybe we should hold off on projecting our fears of "He Who Shall Not Be Named" onto Fitt. Just yet anywho.

 

This is Fitts first big deal. Can we at least wait for it to be done? Maybe he is Hurndog 2.0, and that would suck, hard. But maybe he is just Fitt 1.0, and that may not be a bad thing.

 

tl;dr version: Let's give the Sheriff time. Then we can decide if he lives,or dies.

Yep, the only time we get deals done is when after a year they look like boat anchors.

It sure seems like after we sign players they get hurt or decline.

Saints can extend all of their young drafted stars with no issues. Why is it so hard for us?

The Saints do a better job at resigning good players than we do, for sure.  They are in a similar situation with Marcus Williams right now, so we'll see how each one plays out.

They'll extend him 20 mill a year and have no problems Im sure.

By all accounts Fitts is Deputy Fife and Rhule is Sheriff Taylor...

...it will be interesting to see how it works out (or doesn't).

If Marty didn’t suck he would have been working on extending Moton instead of wasting $26M on Okung and Short to play half a year combined.

And yet, even with the Hurndawg holding the reins of ruin for another organization, THIS organization is doing whatever it can to save present day nickels because they fear paying future $$$ to their young talent and anchors.

 Except for a running back, of course.

 Because as we all know, having the best and top paid running back in the league is the key to present-day NFL success.

 But for sure, Carolina management, make sure you lock down your RUNNING BACKS to long-term, top dollar contracts and not your top young performers on OL!

It's genuinely starting to feel like a curse. Maybe it's that black cat outside the stadium? Or maybe it was Jeans Friday?

Its not a curse or bad luck.

 Yeah, that easy answer might make you feel better, but it’s not that.

 It’s ownership/management/coaching (in that order… though, to be fair, the first 2 years of the Rhule Regime he’s pretty much been the GM as well as HC).

If you were going for the joke, then...lol

 

If you were making a comment on our leadership, then...not lol 

 

The leadership we have now is the best it's been in 15+ years.

God I missed your special brand of sarcasm. By the way. That was a Hurndog contract. He really doesn't have anything to do with the team anymore. You can't blame this regime for past mistakes.

    • 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
