that's actually a very good number considering how much talent we have. surprised it's that low, even with all the cuts lately.

Agreed. Considering we have Davis, Beason, J-Stew and D-Will, Smitty, Gamble, Otah and Kalil and Gross, etc etc all under contract...that's impressive. If any of those guys were to hit free agency they'd land massive contracts. The Panthers do well at giving enough without going insane (let's just NOT remember the whole Jake contract though....)

that's some good company we keep. 3 out of 4 losing teams.

We are only that low because of the contracts we dumped. We have many roster spots to fill...and our number will go up.

The other teams have been that low for several years....thus why they suck.

We are positioned to be able to retain our young starts....while being ready for next year's FA class (which should be very, very good). All of those 4 yr FA's that becasue RFA this year will hit the market next year.

I would rather not over pay this year and win the lottery next year....even if it means a mediocre 2010 season.

agreed. plus, it's still early. there will be money spent on a lot of 1-2 year deals to fill up the roster.

i'd be very surprised if we didn't have the full 80 roster spots going into TC. there is a lot of room to bring in some good value still.

Well that is one way to look at it. OR you could be happy we have a team with decent pieces while teams like the LIONS 106, Broncos 105 and Browns have few young pieces to be real proud of. OR teams like the Redskins and Raiders who overpay for mediocre talent. Whatever some say cheap i say smart business.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
