You really whining about this -- https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/phillip-walker-22025/

$895,000 to have a back up QB for CHEAP knowing that there are other cap allocations needed elsewhere?

The PJ extension shouldn't even garner attention, we have a back up the end; yet people were freaking out like they set some kind of record retaining him. 

Whining? He would be fighting for a 2nd or 3rd string spot on any other teams roster if he didn't go to Temple and you know it. Appreciate the input 👍

And any other backup is likely to be just as bad but cost more so...appreciate the input 🤫

Not to mention that is a non-guaranteed contract there's no dead money tied to it. So uhhhh yea good talk my guy 🤙

It's literally non cap impactful no matter what happens, but at the very least you have the position accounted for. Or would you rather a more experienced, more expensive, still shitty back up...oh wait that's Darnold

Why are you so pressed over a former XFL QB? I didn’t want Sam Darnold and I'd love to get a real QB in here but we have donkeys for management who are scared to develop a rookie.

No need to risk it either and be stuck with just Tremble and not other receiving threat at the position. People forget Ian looked pretty good back in 2018 filling in for an injured Olsen. Kyle, Teddy, and Darnold seemed to rarely look his way, not to mention the Brady offense seemed to devalue that position as a read. 

If you have to go back 4 years to find a few good plays for a player then that player is not good and has overstayed his usefulness by at least 2 years.

OTC has the breakdown of the Ian Thomas contract: https://overthecap.com/player/ian-thomas/6986/

19bd7186199bcd9d855164f598a68c24.png

In short, Ian is counting ~$3.1M vs the cap this season and his last season is not likely to be earned as it's mostly (non-guaranteed) salary. To me, this contract reads like a 2-year $11.5 million dollar deal with a team option for a 3rd year. For the curious he can be cut before the start of the league year in 2023 for a small cap savings (~1.4M).

With the context that 3 TEs (Njoku, Gesicki, Shultz) have been franchised tagged, this deal may end up looking reasonable. IMO the biggest benefit is we didn't sign a FA TE to a similar contract and possibly cancel out a comp pick.

OK not as bad as originally thought, but still Thomas has done absolutely nothing in his time here to show that hes worth any more than the NFL veteran minimum.  Hell, we drafted a guy to replace him in the 3rd round last year who showed a lot of promise.

      RUMORS: Panthers schedule leak

      Seattle was a run heavy team

      I believe you are correct. Everyone remembers that record setting drubbing of the Broncos but that was the highlight of their season. They have very good coaching overall and they have a ton of talent. With a better QB they could have knocked off the Chiefs IMO. We aren't even in the conversation of the Dolphins until proven otherwise. We couldn't even get in the end zone against the lowly Chicago Bears. We got shutout and blown out by the CJ Beathard led Jaguars for fugs sake. We can't even compete with bad teams let alone run up the score on them. To me if I'm being completely realistic if I'm the GM and my job is on the line and I feel like Tua is Bryce Young's ceiling I'm drafting QB in the first round next year unless he just magically has a season like Stroud did last year. That's it. I'm genuinely not trying to be abrasive about this it just gets really mind numbing eventually that we keep lowering the bar down down down down down and it's like hey it's fine to have expectations. And if you have a young QB in his prime and he isn't giving you at least prime Jake Delhomme arm talent it's time to keep looking for a QB.

      Mingo stat. Lost yards on uncatchable balls

      Not exactly.  They show that Jones was making the most of the opportunities he had.  I was never a fan of his, but I think that the talent level in NE last year is somehow escaping the massive negative attention it should have received.  That team was terrible - especially the talent and coaching on offense - and everyone was still afraid of the wrath of hoodie. He'll have a chance to restart his career at some point.  He was a middle of the pack QB as a rookie.  Plenty of teams out there would love to make it up to middle of the pack at QB.
