Robby worse contract than Batum?

Hear me out….Batum’s contract was one of the worst in Charlotte sports history.   Is Robby’s worse?   Not on the amount but the effects it will have….Marty/Jerry like hand out. 
 

1) Batums didn’t really hurt us from signing others bc Hornets not ready to contend….one or two of Reddick, Moore, Jackson, Burns probably won’t signed bc the money given to Robby.

2) timing….Batum had a good year and then you resigned him.  Why give Robby this contract before the year was over?  What was the rush….see how Marshall, Shi, and Robby does this year then decide and see what his value is.

3) Batum was impeding the process of younger players his last year here….Borrego put him on the bench and the young guys played.  You think Rhule will bench his Temple guy?    Marshall’s progress will be stunted.

4) Why draft Marshall in 2nd round if you’re going to keep Robby?  There were tons of talent left at that spot.

5) WRs are dime a dozen in every draft.  No reason to pay two WRs and a RB that much. Can’t build a contender paying them that much when you will have to pay your QB and the guys I mentioned above.

6) Age ….he’s not young.

7) Performance….I don’t think he ever was worth the money he got but this year has been really bad.   He won’t be able without touches and could become an expensive disgruntled diva. 
 

I just don’t get this contract extension….someone make me feel better about it and tell me what I’m missing.

This offense uses 3 WR sets frequently... I don't see his contract as hurting any of our young players... Robby wasn't just a 1 year guy either.. he flashed on the Jets.

They do need to get him more involved, though. I think it'll happen with CMC down.  Part of me expects teams will need to start picking their poison with DJ or Robby.

It is nothing wrong with Robbie. Darnold is missing open receivers left and right. And this is with protection. He is still a bit damaged from time in New York and we all see it. He is going to have to open up and make more winning throws, not just game managing throws as the season progresses. As he opens up, the touches and impact for Robbie will come. Plus, DJ is doing good things.  It has been three games and he signed a very manageable contract. The offense is still feeling its way out. Picking out one player after going 3-0 and hating on their contract is odd.

No, Robbie can play. Now that the offense is going through Sam instead of cmc, we need Robbie to run his deep routes and take the top off of defenses opening up the field for the other WRs and TEs.

Sam didn't find him much in Houston, but we will get him the ball. We have many wr options out there that are going to provide mismatch opprtunities for the other guys or for Robbie himself.

We just need to establish the run game again, and even though chubba had a few bad first games, he seemed to warm up and find a groove once he became the feature back.

Everything will be OK, no need to panic yet.

Why does everyone keep saying Robby is the deep threat? He’s not. He’s the check down corner route guy. It’s actually amazing we have had so much offensive production using our two best receivers ass backwards.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
