How is this all Hurney's fault? Granted he paid Gross, Jake, & Gamble a little more than they should have, but I blame more on Pep or at least his agent with demanding more than we could afford. It like he put a handcuffs on the team. Not to mention Pep haven't made up his mind before he signed the tender & that why we gave away our 2010 Draft 1st round pick to get Brown. If Pep already made up his mind before the Draft last year, we might not gotten Brown then. Franchising him again will make it hard for us to get some players in FA & Drafts. I just don't know if we can afford that. :(

This is Hurney's + Front Offices' faults respectively.

Peppers was just trying to get his, and the Panthers fell victim because they know they have no other player like Peppers on this roster.

Do you believe the Patriots would let Peppers hold them in cap hell? I think not.

Amazing these guys haven't been fired yet. Payed him all that money last year only to not speak to him the next offseason

Dont get me started on Jake

That.

If Peppers goes for free but Jake gets a "retirement go out the traditional way"

contract I hope Pep rips this team a new asshole.

Jerry Richardson is leading the charge amongst owners for the new CBA. He will tighten his financial belt in order to convince other owners to do the same. We will probably be one of the teams with the lowest payroll next season with no salary floor or cap. The Panthers will make ALOT of money next year saving money on lower wages. Good business from a financial standpoint. We may have even tagged Peppers last year in order to be able to cut that much from payroll this year.

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      ^I want that, but Rodriguez over KC. Don't hate KC as much at that spot, but rather take a WR with the pick we gain in that trade than in the 1st.

      I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.
