Is excusing a guy who lets his teammates down any better?

Teams don't have to offer Jackson anything at all. That much is abundantly clear today.

It’s very early, but assuming Lamar had no power or control in the situation seems a bit naive… 

Letting teammates down can be used on every top QB pick that sits out his bowl game. They have to make career choices as well. Imagine a company not paying you what you are worth and asking you not to let your coworkers down and to continue working.

It's a business, and all the players know it. Some may have been mad, some not. You seem to be relishing in the fact that Jackson didn't get any offers today, but this process is just beginning. Just like I told you that no one was going to sign Carr out of the gate (unless they were stupid), it's not realistic to think that anyone would offer Lamar a contract today. It's not even realistic to think that he would sign the offer today considering that he has until week 10 of the regular season to sign it, and that's even if he signs it at all. 

If nothing else it's the lying season, so I wouldn't exactly take everything at face value. Even still, like I said, the process is just beginning.

He doesn't have to take what they offer, but even in full free agency there's no guarantee he gets a better offer. 

With the franchise tag in play, it's even more limited than that.

With an injury history it gets even worse.

He's won 75% of his games as a starter.

 

lol some of you dudes just don't want this guy which is fine. Just admit you don't wont him. But when you push a narrative like this dude has fell off is just not true.

 

How has he fell off when he's winning 75% of his games as a starter?

I said “hard pass” I don’t know how that is not admitting I don’t want him. Also, seems like pretty much the whole NFL agrees with me.

I see the options and ultimately think a long term deal will be reached like that tweet you posted earlier. It won’t be Watson money (as no contract should), but it should be Carr or higher minimum.

Uuuhhh...no. I don't give a sh-t whether Jackson makes a billion or makes nothing. Why should I? Do you?

The only thing I care about to any degree is what affects the Panthers.

If I cared that deeply about other stuff like this, I might be in danger of going off on an emotional rant over discussion on a football message board.

That'd be pretty silly, don't you think?

Most of the speculation I've seen has him ultimately signing a long term deal with Baltimore, but not the kind of fully guaranteed deal he's seeking.

It makes sense.

Well you surely are talking about it a lot. Kinda reminds me of when you were relishing in Nawrocki's hit piece against Cam. Always sticking up for the institution, huh? Yeah!

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      By CanadianCat · Posted

      I mean I think its a bit disingenuous to call basically anyone here a casual fan. I don't think the casual fan creates a profile then logs into it, in the offseason, to comments on mundane offseason topics.. I dont think anyone on here would be considered a casual fan. That said, I get your point. My POV is from the player. They sign this contract, move their family because of these contracts. When Clowney came him, we basically had a coming home party for him.  So yeah, I get why we did it and I know that ultimately the owner doesnt 'save' money, but I can feel for the human side of the player, which is why I want them to get all they can while they can.

      My guess is the NBA will either send Flagg back “home” to the Northeast in Brooklyn or Washington, or San Antonio so that they can keep building around Wemby. If I was a betting man I would take the odds on the Spurs. This definitely feels like a #1 pick that they will rig.

      Some...concerning UNC / Belichick news

      In fairness, she is ensuring she is talked about.  People really aren’t going out there way to bring her up.  It’s some weird poo.  She would end up getting talked about given her actions if she was 40. Bill realizing some of these high end “companions” got a game of their own.  That’s what I don’t think Bill saw coming.
