Total BS

 

I am so sick of these supposed NFL insiders on here and twitter with their dumb ass "sources"

Might be true Deshaun asked the Panthers for some contract guarantees yesterday but at that point it's very unlikely he was still seriously considering a trade to the Panthers. The request was most likely made to get leverage in contract negotiations with the Falcons and the Panthers just said nah dawg we good.

Why ask for contract guarantees at all from us then?  Just as leverage against the other teams involved?

That's my impression of it. From everything I've heard, Deshaun pretty much made up his mind to go to Atlanta after hearing the pitches from the other 3 teams involved. Atlanta is just having a hell of a time making a deal work with that Matt Ryan contract. NFL is trying to spin a narrative that Matt Ryan has been involved in the whole process which is BS. I told you guys the storyline would begin changing today.

Well whatever they did, it sounds like their "sales pitch" meeting went something like WKRP's pitch to Vicky Von Vicky jeans.

That's pretty deep, Scot. A whole new level of "obscure references."

And who tried to kiss who?

Well that's mind-boggling. 

I genuinely don't get that.

If you're trying to full on recruit the guy (and this basically was a recruiting trip) why wouldn't you bring along someone he knew and worked with before?

Did you just trust Matt Rhule's college recruiting experience would be enough?

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
