Oh, we're fixated on just on 2013 now. I thought we were talking about the early 'cap hell' years.

It doesn't really matter anyway. This is inarguably the worst stretch of years in the history Panthers football. We're not doing the up and down seesaw anymore; we're stuck with perpetually losing. This team still doesn't have a quarterback and doesn't have established leaders throughout the roster like those teams had.

We have a few good, maybe great young players, and that's it. We don't have a Cam, Luke young combo that's going to carry the load until we draft them.

Just trying to keep up. One list has Beason, who was gone already. Another Hardy and Norman. One who was only here two games after 2013. The other barely played in 2013.

Yeah, it's the 'cap hell' years, with the reference to 2013 as the winning season during that time.

Seems something else happened in those years. Besides the same amount of playoff appearances in 5 years that this franchise has had in the other 18.

I mean, it was the rebuild years. The 'cap hell' years I would think are 2011-2014. The NFL lockout happened in 2011. In 2010-2013 the cap barely moved, and even was lowered.

Since then, it's been quite a bit easier to manage. From 2014 on the cap rose by over 10 million a year.

If we didn't hit on Cam god knows what the team would have looked like. We would have had a lot of great players we would be trying to pay, but in quarterback purgatory with Ron Rivera leading the team. Actually, it would probably have been similar to the current Commanders.

As of now we are negative 3 million. This includes rolling over 10.6 million this year to next. 28.5 million in dead cap but we can easily get above water with a few moves but still not pretty.

2011 can’t be a cap hell year if that’s the same off-season they signed all those players. 2012 they still had plenty to give ANOTHER RB a big contract. 2013 was a collection of bottom-level FAs. 2014 was the same plus lost more players. 2015 had DLOs 10M dead cap hit. And a DE in CJ with a 20M cap hit for a part time player. That’s over 20% of their cap on those two. 
 
 When the cap goes up, salaries go up. It’s not some advantage any team gets.

And when the cap goes down?

Again, who really cares. The point is this team is cap strapped, and without players at key positions. Including the most important position on the team. We're the worst team in the league, with a cap mess, to the point of trading players, and we were recently without many draft choices.

Then it goes down for everybody. And there were deals out there during the ONE year it went down. In 2015, Cam was one of the highest paid at 21/yr. Now there are how many making 40-50M/yr. The cap hasn’t doubled. But top salaries at most positions have.

I doubt it. I don’t think there is a single safe player on this team. Zero. If we give CMC for a random assortment of mid round picks. We are burning it to the ground. 

I would not loose a wink of sleep if they did. It looks to me as if everyone is auditioning for a job.

Should be fun to watch the back stabbing and infighting amongst the staff from a voyeuristic train wreck kinda way.

The only think will be worth watching is the players reaction to the turn of events.  I wonder whether any of the young guys will respond to this as a chance to establish themselves or will they pack it up and quit.

Yeah, and the core of that team went to the Super Bowl, an NFC Championship, and almost made another one if Brandon LaFell wasn't the soft, brick hands, receiver that he was. Right now this team needs to get a quarterback to even be in contention of win our sorry division. We're in a much bigger hole.

      Panthers NFC South Champs!

      I think it's strange that you still can't see where I'm coming from, and I guarantee you don't have more faith in him than I do.  You're looking at him in a vacuum, not about the team around him and the likely offensive game plans this season. We're going to be a run first team with 3 receiving options better than any of the other players on past rookie 1k seasons. If you can't understand that, then it's a you problem, not a me problem. Arizona's previous basketball coach, Sean Miller, used to do something at the first team meeting of every season and I think it's soooooooooo applicable to this situation. He'd have every player right down how many minutes/points they expected to average that season and then he'd add them up.  It would show that if they all hit those numbers, we'd score like 125 points a game and need to be playing 7 guys at a time to get their minutes. That's pretty much how you guys are putting your T-Mac expectations out there, looking solely at the player and what you think he should be able to do, not how the offense will operate as a whole. Every yard one player gets is one less yard someone else can get.  It sounds like I just have more faith in Thielen, XL, and Coker this year than most everyone else.  But a big reason for that faith is because of T-Mac and how much he'll open things up for the rest of them and Bryce being the type of QB to take the open easy passes than force it to his #1. As I've said, if any one of the following happens... Thielen ends the season sub 700 yards, XL or Coker end up sub 500 yards... Then yes, I will then shift my expectations for T-Mac's rookie year to be at least 1,000 yard season. But since I have faith in those other 3 having solid seasons, it tempers my expectations yardage totals for T-Mac this year, and this year alone.  I've also clearly stated many times that I think he's going to reach 10 TDs. If T-Mac ends the season with 800 yards and 10 TDs, while Thielen gets 900-1,000 and XL/Coker each get around 600, I don't see any world where that is a failure for a rookie season for T-Mac. Because again, we're talking about expectations, not what is possible.  So given the other WR options, I can't EXPECT T-Mac to get to the 1k mark, which is a far cry from me saying I don't think he can get there. Do you really not see the difference there?

      2024 College Football Thread

      By CRA · Posted

      I don't recall anyone seeing this coming.  I mean, two seperate things for me.  I thought BB just might not work in college football because he is old grumpy man and college is about appealing to young kids.   So yeah, that could of gone great or horrible.  Coin flip.  This isn't that convo for me.  what we are witnessing right now play out.....this was never part of the disaster possibility/path discussed lol.  Really weird stuff.  Or maybe I missed the part where UNC hires a 20 year old "girlfriend" that apparently runs the Bill operation and before the season even starts is taking over more than just Bill but influence of the entire UNC operation.  That was her getting that official statement made today.  It was her sabotaging the Hard Knocks UNC show because she somehow wasn't the star.  Seems like elder abuse lol.  Only largely kidding.  You even got Charles Barkley saying he normally doesn't talk about personal lives of his friends but he might have to check in on Bill because this ain't normal stuff lol.  Anyway, it's entertaining.  Everything is a cartoon it seems these days.

      I think its strange how you were claiming this guy was the second coming of Mike Evans and you can't even get behind 1k yards? I guess I have more faith in him than you
