Sharpen your knives and bring it @Basbear

Dude only played 12 games his second and third years in the league. His first three years he averaged 813 yards a season on an average 160 carries. In his contract year, he finally plays the whole season and greatly outperforms his previous years to the tune of 1269 yards on 259 carries. A huge jump like that in production in a contract year is a bad sign especially when he had career lows the previous year.

Just when you think the Panthers might be getting smarter, they do the same stupid poo they've always done and vastly overpay a running back. They should have signed someone at or just above the vet min or even better, signed an undrafted rookie free agent.

It's like

is still in the building and never left.

 

 

Sorry Basbear, my heart really isn't in it.

It's $6.5M/year, not $16.5M. Stop it.

I think Dalton is the kind of player who can come in and not kill you, lots of starting experience.  Good mentor. 

Yea, hes perfectly fine and won plenty of games. Just feel the recent years hes dropped a couple levels......iants did choose him over winston, whom they signed for 8million 1yr......panthers got similar deal for dalton @ 2 if they choose to keep him, thats possible if him and the rookie QB click...

What does that even mean?  He thinks he should take one or two and hope for a better deal later?  Not likely to get a huge contract at 27 as a RB

Good deal pending getting a true #1 WR

If we don't get a #1 it won't make sense, as we could have put the money towards a WR and drafted an RB in the 3rd or signed someone on a dirt cheap 1 year deal, like Foreman did.

If we go into the season with TMJ or a 2nd round pick as the #1 WR, this won't look like a good deal anymore.

If we are not looking to trade a player or two for a WR, we could enter the draft with 2 things in mind--draft a QB in round 1, and then trade #39 and other picks to move back up into the end of the first round to grab a WR falling.

Amazing.  Dual threat, 3 down back!  Frank and Duce used him a lot in the passing game.  New regime not so much.  He’s a beast and a great addition!

dalton is only "meh"(5 teams 5 years) and I dont know either on DLmen. But like you said, these are not derek carr 150 million while the team is 50 million in the red. 

These are the type of deals you see 3 weeks after the first day. Credit to other teams as well, seem like everyone learned to calm down......

I wish folks around here would learn to do the same thing.

I don't care how you get one, but you have to get a WR #1.

You can't draft a rookie QB 1st overall and pay an RB 6.5 million and not give your top pick a #1 WR.

I know we can't get a #1 for the same 6.5, but we could have used that plus a little more to have signed someone who could have fit the bill and then drafted an RB in the 3rd round to go along with a cheaper FA option.

Again, I like landing Sanders, behind our OL he should be real good, and I don't hate the contract as long as we get a #1 WR this year, if we don't, I'm not going to be so thrilled about it.

Im too hyped and aware of the darkness that awaits.

Not had much to cheer for around these parts, the new supreme staff and taken in the first three days to cure of the post-rhule depression... 

Like taking those first steps form the hospital......long road work is ahead, but thee sun and wind feels good..
