just found out. This poo is f**king ridiculous. It's like we don't want to have a good team next season. just because we don't want to pay the nigga a couple extra million next season for being an elite blocking fullback? what kinda dumbshit logic is this, especially when there's no cap next season. I really can't believe this team sometimes. Makes me wonder why I even bother. Yes, I'm biased because Hoov was one of my favorite players, but f**k this team right now. Shoulda just stayed away from this site.

Hah you called Hoov a nigga

Makes sense to me. Looks as though the Panthers are happy with building up a corps of young talent. That is usually how teams succeed down the road. We only have three players over 30 now. We are developing talent.

These guys make personnel decisions as their career. I think they know a bit more than we do. I'm not happy with seeing Hoover go, but he was injured on and off, getting old, and we have depth at FB (which is a rarity in the NFL). Fiametta and Sutton show they have talent potential.

I'm saddened, but this is far from the worst thing the Panthers could do.

I know we're trying to develop fiametta and sutton to be Hoov's successors and I am well aware that the sky isn't falling, but how are these dudes supposed to learn how to become successful blocking fullbacks when you cut the veteran player they were supposed to be getting mentored by?

Where are these young fullbacks going to get their knowledge of the position from? Our coaching staff? lol We haven't developed a decent fullback in over a decade, and even then we got lucky with Hoover. Where is this random confidence coming from? We're suddenly pros at pumping out great blocking fullbacks? It's a stupid decision. Is it wrong that I hope we regret this?

You CAN'T keep 3 FB's on a roster and be successful. If you keep Hoover, you have to release one of the other guys. I liked what I saw in Sutton and Fiametta has a ton of upside.

They made the right choice.

so now we can't yell Hoooooooovvvvv!!! or Moooooooose! at the stadium anymore? this is a lot to take in one season!

It is an attempt to keep BOA even more quiet. I think they want us to be like Golf Fans. Clap after something has happened no matter the team doing it and stay in our seats.

sutton is a HB :yesnod: he filled in at FB when fiametta and Hoover were hurt, he is the smallest guy we have, so no, we do not have 3 FB's

I love Hoover but his body has got to be in complete agony. He takes a beating during the games and probably would have retired anyway. But the team should have taken a different approach and tell them their intentions and let him walk away

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
