We seem to have some sort of fetish for being different than everyone. Listen, the NFL is a copycat league and being innovative can give you a big edge.

This poo isn't innovative, however. We tried that poo with Joe Brady and it failed. I don't see anything these fuging guys are doing that seems "innovative." They just need to be different than anyone else in the NFL for some reason and the results are in. fuging STOP.

This sums up the team for the last few years even before we got rid of Rivera. Double dipping and luxury picks screwed us as bad as well Hurney drafts add in some below mediocre coaching and you get the seasons we've had under Rhule. The one constant in the last few years is being different for no reason...and that doesn't even include the choice to go to turf.

... not trading for Jimmy Garoppolo.

The general issue with Baker Mayfield was supposed to be bad attitude. Garoppolo comes off as something worse here, specifically a bad teammate.

It was already likely to be difficult for the 49ers to get anything for him. This story certainly doesn't help.

Okay, and Baker was a locker room cancer who divided the locker room. Guess what we found out when he got here? 

Likely the same story with Gorropolo

C’mon, even you know there’s no way we wouldn’t eat a large portion of his deal to get some savings and even a really late round pick. Little had $2.7M remaining on his deal. Bridgewater made $4.4M in Denver. Baker is making $4.86M with us. Yes, Little was less but it’s not a huge difference in contract numbers.

The only problem is that we seem to be in on all the former 1st round QBs that get traded after a team guarantees them a lot of money. Seems like something we don’t want to keep doing.

You assume that we would be willing to eat that same large portion of his salary. 

Notice how little speculation there is around a Sam Darnold trade. I would imagine that is because there are literally no suitors. If Jimmy G and Baker Mayfield had a combined total of one team with serious interest, there is basically zero likelihood of moving Darnold without begging and offering draft capital. There is little reason to do that and I don't think Rhule is interested in trading Sam.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D. · Posted

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
