I can enjoy the present and yet still save money and invest in my future. They aren’t mutually exclusive. It’s a Tuesday…not like we are worrying about this stuff mid game.

Yea I normally avoid this, again Im big on freedom as much as possible... Plus Ive been pissy the last few weeks(moving??). I just wanted to the board happy(lololloldreamlollloll) and talking current playoff (hope) panthers and worry about off-season in the off-season. Carry on and keep pounding.

Players currently under contract through ‘22 season:

QB- Darnold (yuck)
RB- CMC, Hubbard
FB- obsolete?
WR- DJ Moore, Anderson, Marshall, Smith, D. Moore
TE- Tremble
OT- Moton, Erving, Christensen
OG- Daley, Brown, Moore
C- Elflein
 
DT- Brown, Roy, Nixon, Hoskins
DE- Burns, Fox, YGM
MLB- ????
OLB- Shaq, ???
DB- Horn, Henderson, Bouye, Pride, Taylor, Thomas-Oliver
S- Chinn, Franklin, Hartsfield
 
Special teams: Fletcher, Charlton
 
Free Agents [potential replacement]:
Cam (QB) [?]
Reddick (OLB) [?]
Paradis (C) [Elflein?]
Burris (SS) [Hartsfield]
D Jax & Gilmore (CB). [Bouye, Henderson]
John Miller (RG). [Christensen/Brown]
Ian Thomas (TE). [Tremble]
J Carter (LB) [?]

 

The OL is it’s own animal, but in a dream scenario Daley can hold down LT and Elflein is serviceable at C. (Big assumptions, sure). I’ve been of the opinion that interior play has been worse than the tackles. 
 

In that case, biggest remaining issues:

- Glaring hole at QB1, perhaps that problem magically goes away if Cam plays well and takes a home team discount to extend

- CB is loaded, not sure we can afford both D Jax and Reddick. If can only keep one, I’d prefer to keep Reddick. Good news is losing Jax could net a 3rd rounder in a ‘23 comp pick. 

- how much does it cost to keep Carter and/or upgrade MLB?

I’d argue our cap is in pretty good shape. Yes, “only” $35 mil in ‘22, but over $100 mil in ‘23 and beyond. We can do some trickery with extensions of good, young players to make it through next year. 

Are you on drugs?

Miller or Daley should never, ever, step on any football field again.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
