Spending wildly in free agency on "big names" has a long and generally unsuccessful history in the league.

Drafting well is how you build a team for longevity. It's the most obvious thing about the NFL offseason almost every year.

Great let's continue to miss on drafting players and signing average players on FA.

 

We saving money and we are going to continue to suck. People wonder why Panthers fans don't show up to games anymore. 

 

Some of you guys are older. By the time we turn this around you might be in a rocking chair. Sometimes you gotta spend big baby!

I was on the "trade him" bandwagon because I did not like the comment he made either.  However, if you break it down, you have to separate the emotional chest pounding from the business decision.  Burns may have a point. 

What comment?

I would say in the last half decade....we have been able to sign multiple defensive players that were better at their jobs than Burns is at his.   

Dumping huge money into Brian Burns just doesn't make sense.  We can find players on defense.  Can we find a Burns clone? Probably not.  Would anyone actually seek a clone an edge player though if you are looking for one? 

Goal is to build a great overall team.  I just don't see how Burns given his assumed price tag makes any sense.

Chris Jones has been my #1 target.

 

Add him with this defense with Evero calling plays you might have the best defense in football.

The dudes price tag is going to be close to 30m to play for us. We are not in a position to add ANY high priced FAs.

Those are the types of moves you make when you feel you are one piece away from competing for a super bowl. 

The best thing we can do is resign our own guys and pick up draft capital. not go on a spending spree for names.

Do you know how many teams can realistically win a SB?

 

Once again you need elite players to win in this league. What good is owning a team if you're not willing to pay. What good is rooting for a team if they aren't willing to pay.

 

Like cmon bro you are obsessed with saving money and I'm honestly confused with that mindset. What are we saving money for?

What are we signing big names for? Adding Chris Jones or any other FA is not going to shift our win total dramatically it's just a waste of cap that we may need to sign someone with down the road when we actually have a good team. 

We are going to suck this season, just accept it.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
