If he doesn't finish his career here he's gonna have to spend like $20K to get his car repainted. So at least we have that going for us.

you mean the box style chevy convertible that got stolen? i searched for the thread, but didn't find it.

awesome to hear davis wants to finish up hear. i was just talking to a Georgia fan the other day about him.

In all likelihood next year will be uncapped since the owners are in no hurry to sign a new CBA. Part of the reason is that free agency will go from 4 years to 6 years of service before you are eligible. Davis is one of the guys affected. He won't be an unrestricted free agent next year. He will be a restricted free agent allowing us to match any offer he gets.

That same sort of quote has been uttered by a lot of players who wound up calling the moving vans.

He may stay. I hope he does. But statements like this are about as meaningful as a politician's campaign promise.

From a personal standpoint, I don't think I could have a mindset any different from his. If I couldn't stay with the team I loved, I'd have to quit.

Exactly. I swear I recall it having Panthers' logos all over it wih an actual panther lying down somewhere. But I've hallucinated worse...

I can understand that too, but it's different when it's your livelihood (especially for guys with families).

A bunch of them have made more money already than I will see in my entire life, though.

There comes a point where you have to prepare for moments such as when you are no longer able to be a football player (this includes career-ending injuries).

I see your point, oviously. :P

I'm really hoping a deal gets done so we will not have to waste a franchise tag on him. He had an all star season but if you look at his career as a whole, does this season alone warrant that kind of money for one year? Nope.
:mad2: Oh yea let's just save the franchise tag for Peppers again this year so we can pay him 20 plus million this coming year to play simi good don't we. I wheather use the franchise on TD then peppers sorry soon to be 32 year old A$$.:mad2:

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      And once again I showed you it’s been pretty even. We spent 2nd and 3rd rounders this past draft on edge rushers. No one’s going to sit here and do the math on a draft value chart etc. the only reason I even entertained this was because you said we’ve spent nothing on defense when that simply isn’t true. It also didn’t help we traded our ONLY WR worth a damn to trade up for Bryce soo… And this is kind of the issue with the anti Bryce crowd. This crowd tends to blame him for the trade up. I was team Stroud. Had the panthers not taken Young the only other QB they were going to take was Richardson. So your issue should be with Tepper, Morgan, Fitterer not Bryce.  Bryce is who he is and it was pretty obvious who he was during the draft process. Bryce is slowly developing into that guy most thought he’d be. Give him a WR like Jamo and this offense as a whole would improve greatly.  Anyone thinking he was the next Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen is clearly slow. Bryce was always going to need pieces around him much like EVERY other QB Burrow has Chase and Higgins and they’ve done nothing. After losing in AFC Championship in 2022, Burrow is 17-15. QB’s need a team around them It’s why a Jalen Hurts led Eagles team dismantled a Pat Mahomes led KC team in the SB Imo the QB’s doing the most with the least up until this year have been Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson  This year it’s Drake Maye and Josh Allen  Outside of the 3-5 elite type QB’s I’m not really sure what people expect here. Is Bryce ever going to be in that elite category? Nope. Should we punt on Bryce and keep swinging? I don’t think so. Should we keep swinging while hanging onto Bryce? Yeah but I don’t know what that looks like This team as a whole isn’t very good. Offense and defense and that’s the simple truth

      I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years.
