Im happy for JP. He wanted out of Carolina and he got his wish. No hard feelings and I wish him the best til we play the Bears.

Classy post, KT

Something tells me, Pep will be back one day (just like Moose).

I don't know about that... He signed a 7 year contract, so it's not likely, but who knows?

The Bears needed a pass rusher. They paid him the money we would not. Congrats to the Bear for just improving their defense. I've never had any problem with Peppers as many others have. Do I wish he had a non stop motor? you bet, but not every player is that way.

I hope Peppers has success, cept playing the Panthers..of course.

Free agency is fools gold for teams looking for a quick fix. I'd prefer that the Panthers build through the draft and develop talent on cheap contracts as opposed to overpaying for career underachievers.

Stephen Davis, 2003, anyone?

Exactly. Ding ding ding. That is Free Agency, folks. If a team fills a need, it's one thing, if a team throws money away like a drunken sailor, they're the Redskins.

Of course you can cherry-pick exceptions, but it's funny that you had to go all the way back to 2003 to do it.

How is it funny? Is that not a Free Agent signing of the current Front Office? How about Jake Delhomme? Was he a Free Agent or draft pick? I can't help but feel that Diggs was a Free Agent before signing a few years ago. Ken Lucas, was he a Panthers draft pick? Kemoeatu? How did the Panthers acquire one Matthew Moore?

Come on, man. Free Agency is the NFL.

Jake= scrub when he arrived

Diggs=scrub when he arrived

Lucas= one good year, then bust

Kemo=way overpaid for the job he was doing

Moore= undrafted rookie that was just released following training camp

WTF are you talking about? Diggs didn't have a single season with the Panthers that measured up to what he did with the Packers.

Lucas= one good year, then bust

Lucas was actually a "name" FA pickup the season the Panthers signed him out of Seattle.

Kemo=way overpaid for the job he was doing

Yes... and?

Moore= undrafted rookie that was just released following training camp

So, he was a Free Agent after Dallas released him.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Everyone knew the catch was secured and didn't move. That was clear to the entire audience. The only ones who thought it wasn't a catch were in the NYC home office. They knew they'd just offer an apology the next day.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
