Here is my last take on what happened over the past few days. Not many are saying this, but Delhomme HAD to go. With the labor laws we were able to escalate the $12MM (that we got by letting go of the other 4) and be done with his deal. Under a new agreement we would have had $4Mm next year and $3mm the next guranteed. It was the right thing to do. the problem was that we gave it to him. Richardson has to be pointing his finger and FURNEY!!! As for Lewis and Kemo... I liked what I saw from Leonard and Tyler. We gave up draft picks to get them. I think they will not do that much less then Lewis and Kemo in my opinion.Plus Ed Johnson has been hurt. he is also young and Meeks knows what he can do. I think we are going to be just fine there. Diggs was interesting. Not sure I really see the point especially since you redid the deal right after the season. Huh?? But Anderson and Conner probably can get the job done.I was impressed with Anderson. The biggest question is this: We went 4-1 down the stretch. Outside of Peppers(big one here) and Lewis, who else that we have let go had anything to do with that success. Not Much! So, I am not too worried. I think if Johnson and Brown get 75% of the snaps they will put up 7-10 sacks each. Leonard had 1 sack in 2 games. About the same as Lewis all year. So I leave this post with two questions:

WR: What in the world are we doing?

FB:Brad Hoover are checking your phone? I think you need to keep it close. You my friend are over the age limit of still being on this team.You might want to start looking at who needs a FB.

Fiammetta can play it and honestly Sutton wasn't too bad either when he tried it. You might be right, but we are taking chances in other places too.

JR saved a lot of money by cutting these guys and they were expendable. Hoov is only making around $860,000 and is an integral part of our run game. He also is on the last year of his deal so no labor agreement issues to worry about with his deal.

Once again the absolute importance of Hoover to this team is underestimated. Hoover is not going anywhere. Fiametta will be his future replacement but not this year, Hoover is the key to the running game which is the key to keeping Matt Moore on his feet and successful.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      So answer the question. Why did Chark and Hurst have the same metrics (go look them up, I did... and one was actually worse in LA) with Justin Herbert? Why did Mingo have the same metrics with Dak? You're right, there is a common denominator, just not the one you're trying to make.  Why could DJ Moore get open with Bridgewater, Allen, Cam 2.0, Darnold, Baker, Williams, Bagent? I'll answer the question for you - because he is a good WR unlike Chark/Hurst/Mingo.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.
