So, exactly how long has it been since this team had a legitimate roster, complete with a serviceable O-line, and a QB you could actually hang a loss on? Cam Newton, 2015 season? 

It's been 6 fugging years since this team was almost whole and complete? It's been 6 years since the last time there weren't glaring holes on the roster, like an O-line, or DBs, or a running game, a franchise QB?

6 fugging years since a fan could sit down, watch a game and know that the only reason the Panthers should lose is because they get outscored. Not because they have no O-line, no running game, no DBs, etc. and all the other good reasons this team lost games.

2017 was a pretty legit team as well.

And that ONE year was an anomaly.

gotta just roll with PJ, he compliments a run heavy offense with his legs 

Did you not see him fall flat on his face when he had a very wide open lane to run in?

It needs to be made into a gif with Benny Hill music, or Three Stooges "wub wub wub wub" or some silly "doink bonk" noises.

I'd love to see what he has, tbh.  It's not like PJ is our answer at backup let alone starter.

Ofc if Darnold is ready that's a moot point.

Someone spent a decent Draft pick on Morgan. Nobody drafted Walker.

I'd much rather see Morgan on Sunday.

What do you consider to be a 'franchise' QB?

In my opinion there's only like 10 of them in the game - everyone else you're always trying to upgrade. 

This team is much better than it was under the last years of Rivera - he and Hurney left us dead in a ditch. It looks like he's taking Washington to the same ditch now.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
