Get used to it.

When you’re paying one LB a ridiculous amount and he’s not playing like Luke or as versatile, there’s going to be an issue. This is why people who say Shaq is decent never mind the contract it isn’t his fault, and then go to criticize Whitehead have a take that’s shortsighted.

I mean what it is it…20 million next year?  There was no cap space to do anything otherwise. How much are you willing to invest in LBs? It wasn’t there. Plus the money lost from Luke’s retirement.

Hurney panicked combined with his hard on for LBs and this is what happens, another crippling contract.

Pretty sure we’re stuck with that next year too. I hope to heaven he isn’t restructured. More cap will help but  depending on what they do with Chinn, and moving on from Shaq, LB is going to be a big problem in the near future.

Personally, if we were set on Darnold, and Sewell out of reach, I think signing Bradberry and letting Shaq walk and trading down for Parsons would’ve been a great scenario future wise - cap and value. Extra picks, a CB, and can recover from Shaq’s dumb contract.

Nice spin. Take a thread about Whitehead, and Carter. And use it to insult Shaq, and Hurndog. Nice work I tell ya what.

If you can’t see how it’s all related, that’s shortsighted. Again, how much do you think a team should be investing in LBs? 

If Whitehead and Carter should be replaced with quality LBs, how much do you think they’ll cost?

Name calling. Is this a board filled with kids?

No more like people like you that don’t know anything and overreact about a draft pick after 4 practices that hasn’t looked bad at all. You have acted like a middle schooler going in every thread typing dumbazz comments, please go on. Garbage takes!

We could’ve traded down, added a 2nd or 3rd and still get Parsons. Instead, Rhule was sold on a corner. Parsons and Kelvin Joseph are balling for the Cowgirls. Horn is getting roasted. 

I’ll disagree and say Horn will be good if not elite. But, if the choice is Parons and extra picks and resigning Bradberry KNOWING Shaqs contract and the LB position is going to cause major issues later on, I’ll take option B all day long.

It's only interrelated in your imagination. You are speculating, about hind-sight. That argument is never wrong. It ain't a fact, but it is an opinion.

 

The whole Defense took a step forward once Carter took over at MLB. And he is having a nice camp. I wouldn't spend any money on any LB.

Don’t wAste your time talking to that guy, he is one of those still complaining we didn’t take Fields. We didn’t never want to draft him to begin with so why complain about something that was never going to happen.

Investing way too many resources into off ball LBs has led to the Panthers having a great history at LB, bit a poor overall W-L record.

Not gonna lie, I didn't want to draft Horn. But positional value of CB >>>> non-pass rushing LBs. Parsons was one guy I specifically didn't want at #8 and it had everything to do with positional value. I was screaming for us to let Shaq walk and re-sign Bradberry instead.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
