I have never understood all the hate for Trgo around here. Granted, the defensive has certainly played more aggressively this year which is more enjoyable to watch but they have NOT been more effective and by any measure, this was not their best year. That would be 2005 when Footballoutsiders.com had them ranked as the #1 defense. You can hate him all you want but you can't hide from the fact that he did have a couple of really good years.

I think Trgo's major fault was he let Fox walk all over him which eventually created problems. I DO NOT think Meeks has that problem and I would venture to guess that Pepper's problems last year had to do with Fox and not Trgo. I also believe Peppers enjoys playing for Meeks and will stay as long as he knows Meeks will be here.

Could be wrong but Peppers did say he would have more to say in a couple of days and that would be about the time when the coaching staff "uncertainties" should be cleared up.

the funniest thing about the trgovac hate was watching people try to rationalize the team's defensive success while he was the DC

"well you see it's the tide of support and the remnants of del rio that um, uh, hey look at the kitten."

I understand he had a good year here and there.. but I don't understand how you connect the dots when you say Fox walked all over him and that Meeks doesn't have that problem?

And considering '05 was quite a while ago... Meeks has improved an aspect in our game that was seriously lacking for quite a while now.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
