Last offseason we gave Delhomme a 3 year extension and another 11 million guaranteed dollars. Why would we do such a thing? To clear cap space last season to afford Peppers' 17 million dollar tag.

Fast forward to this offseason....

So what do we do with the money we spent on Peppers last year that we won't be spending on him this year? We don't spend it on players that will actually be on the field next year, we use it to eat the 11 million dollars we gave Delhomme last year! So if you think about it, we f**ked ourselves in the a$$ two years in a row.

I think he was looking for discussion to possibly sway his view, though.

:mad:Man I loved Jake and Peppers. But dam stop riding their nuts. They are both gone and it is time to move on with the next starting QB which will Moore. So stop riding their nuts ok.:D

Seriously, people need to realize this IS sports and teams move on. A team that "moves on" is a team ready to do what is necessary and best for the team, which in turn is best for the fan base whether they like it or not.

No cap this year good enough reason for me.

Thanks for the welcome Panthers8192...I've been a long time 'lurker' just never got around to posting.

Just find it ironic how we blew 11 million dollars on Delhomme to afford the 17 million dollars on Peppers last year and have nothing to show for it. After the Cardinals game I knew Delhomme should never take a snap again so ya Rags maybe I should be the GM we prolly woulda made the playoffs last year.

don't really care about all that. i'm just glad that someone decided to right the ship and get it headed in a positive direction.

wasting money like that hurts but it would hurt more to stay the course just because so much had been invested.

addition by subtraction.

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      Hard to interpret some of Brugler's opinions. Capable of running a robust route tree sounds like a lazy thing to say - I'm sure just about every slot TE is capable of running a full route tree... I want to know if he is currently able to (which from tape leads me to a no). Granted, it's pretty common for most receivers/TE not having a full route tree developed before they get drafted. Agility/acceleration after the catch hasn't shown up on his tape (at least his Oregon tape) for those dig/out breaking routes while it has for the seam and slant routes. Agree he has a good physical build and he is very good running seam routes. His build definitely helps him to shield defenders and create a large target point for the QB. Drops were a concern, but it could be focus drops just like T-Mac was/is prone to. Run blocking is an accurate statement, but again, we have only seen him run block in the slot/backfield - inline blocking is a whole different animal. With his athleticism, he definitely has a high ceiling. I just think he also has a low floor and don't like taking that big of a risk on a mid 1st rounder. I think this is a deep TE draft and would much rather target one in the 3rd or later. He's very boom or bust to me - bust in terms of being worth a 1st round pick, not an out of the NFL in a few years type bust. I feel like he gives me Evan Engram vibes. Not saying that Evan Engram was/is a bad NFL player, just that most people would agree he shouldn't have been drafted in the 1st.

      I mean I would love 6-1. It’s funny the hurricanes usually dominate the first game and win by three or four goals. But keep the second game close. It would be nice if it’s the reverse of that tonight.

      Brugler has him as TE1 and going to the Ravens in the first.  Apparently Sadiq's football IQ is pretty high (interviewed very well).  Also he was an WR and CB in high school.  This is why I always thought his route running was solid.  I'm sure it needs some polishing but for a TE it's pretty good. nfl.com Built like a bodyguard with a compact, well-defined frame. Capable of running a robust route tree. Gets in and out of breaks with good snap and separation. Vandalizes defensive seams with impunity against man coverage. Survives collisions with catches thanks to his hand strength. Shows off agility and acceleration after the catch. Fits up run blocks with proper positioning and base width. Grips and presses forward with moving feet to stay connected. -Again I don't know if we should take him but if he goes to the right team he could become a scary weapon at the next level.  I just like him as a prospect.
