LOSERS

By Gregg Rosenthal

Carolina

They mortgaged yet another future pick, sending a 2011 second-rounder to convert quarterback Armanti Edwards into receiver. They are paying Jake Delhomme huge money this season, but had to spend two picks at quarterback to replace him. Third-round wideout Brandon LaFell also was taken to fill a gaping hole. This is a team drafting for need based on bad mistakes. That type of short-term thinking gets people fired.

Matt Moore

Carolina’s starting quarterback watched the Panthers draft competition in Jimmy Clausen in the second round. And then Tony Pike joined the party in the sixth round. With John Fox’s job on the line, very little is certain about the Panthers in 2010. That includes their Week 6 starting quarterback.

well, he was right about it being a mistake to give jake all that money. he was inconsistent throughout his whole career. never should've gotten a big long-term deal. his age alone should've prevented that. one of the biggest goof-ups in panther history. we should've been looking for a quality starter long ago. it was only by luck matt moore recently blossomed. we weren't expecting him to be that good.

Did anyone think it would be a good idea to give Jake all that money? I don't think it took a rocket scientist to figure that one out.

jake was given that contract so we could stay under the salaray cap.

and a lot of us were expected matt moore to be THAT good. (maybe not on this board, but on the scout one, most definitely.)

if the panthers start winning these same people will say how great they are a drafting and taking gambles that pay off

panthers have been one of footballs winningest organizations since john fox came to town. if we win, its either caz of lucky, an easy schedule or paying off the refs. media cats will do anything to keep us from being recognized.

    • There are a couple of options. One is just to not accept your commission and just pay back the Academy for your education. Alot of money for normal folk, but if you're drafted high enough it's a drop in the bucket. You'll need a waiver not to go in enlisted, but normally drafted players get waivers to join the reserves instead of active duty military. Showing that you can actually go to the NFL from a military academy is much better for recruitment than having one more officer on a ship/sub/aircraft. Things were different in the Staubach and David Robinson days. I remember Mike Wahle just paying back the Academy after getting kicked out for steroids after his junior year. Not a big deal when you're drafted in the 2nd round. 
    • have 10 dollars riding on the hornets to win the division to pay out 1200, my buddy has multiple bets but one would pay out close to 15k 
    • Whoever you get has to be able to shoot a 3 for spacing purposes, especially if you want to replace Miles at 4 with Moose and run a different center.    I like the Miles for Giannis trade idea but where do you put him? At center?    Can you imagine a double screen and roll/slip with with Lamelo, Giannis and Kon... 👀   If you do that trade you need another free agent / draft pick to play at 4 that can stretch the floor otherwise I don't think it works.
