But once he's officially cut, he can retire and still keep the money.

Most times you lose any future salary when you retire. Perhaps because it is guaranteed he still gets it no matter what. Still he is likely not to retire unless he doesn't get on with any else.

Thanks, that makes sense. P55, Lots of changes happening to the panthers tonight; do you think decisions like Jake and D. Lewis are good ones?

It all depends on who we pick up to replace them with. Cutting Jake only makes sense if we replace him with someone who is an upgrade. If we traded for McNabb for example it would be a good thing (won't happen though). But if we go into camp with McCown, Moore, and a rookie as our three quarterbacks, we could be one injury away from disaster.

Same with Lewis. By getting rid of veterans with experience you lose a lot in the locker room. If you replace them with other veterans you can often make up the difference. But if you have a locker room full of inexperienced new faces, it could hurt the chemistry of the team and they might fall apart at the first sign of adversity. That rarely happens in a locker room of hardened veterans.

I guess only time will tell.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By cranky · Posted

      First, am I wrong? I looked back over all his posts here and I didn't see anything positive other than Shough. Second, pretty sure if you had read the post I was responding to, you would have seen CRA made poo personal as well . You just choose to address me instead of him. Not sure why?????

      Give Legette another season?

      By SCMunnerlyn1 · Posted

      I wanted XL but I felt he should have been a 2nd rounder but I understand the logic trading up just to get the option. A safety net for your gamble.    Certainly disappointed with his receivers development but i like his down field blocking and I imagine that's what's keeping him on the field.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By cranky · Posted

      Pretty sure it is a given Young lacks typical QB size and strength and he is here simply because his other attributes more than make up for it. My point is not to indicate anyone "settled" for him but rather to remind people that there have been plenty of big, strong QB's that have not lived up to expectations. Jamis Winston, Anthony Richardson, Trey Lance, JaMarcus Russel are a few examples. They all have the physical attributes coveted by teams and yet none have had sustained success in the NFL. And yes, there are QBs that do have both but there aren't many and some of the ones still playing were failures with their early teams. Saying Young is a bust simply based upon his size (and I do think it is as simple as that for a few guys around here) is unfair to both him and the team.
