T.O. a Panther ?


Nemesis

Recommended Posts

I'm not sure it will happen , but how do know it want ?
i don't know it want but i know it won't.

aside from the whole 'he isn't a panther/richardson type player' stuff the team made a huge decision to go young and cheap this year and cut a lot of older players regardless of how well they might do this coming year.

going after TO would fly in the face of what is a very determined FO and coaching staff to go with the youth movement.

Cause we know the team, the owner, their plan moving forward.

It's called basic deduction.

To bad not everyone has this.

I bought a ticket and went to a game once ,and I stayed at a Holiday Express.

Does that mean I have some of that basic deduction too?

Ya'll have a good weekend.....

I don't disagree with you , but after all this happened Smith goes a breaks his hand again..We're all just hoping that Smith is ready to go 100% when the season starts.

Thats my concern.

hell or high water, they'll go with who they got unless....they are young and cheap and will go for a one year deal.

they want the new guys to get involved. they want to build from within. if the player won't help them towards that end they will not be a panther.

three or four weeks into the season and they might change their tune but even then i doubt it. they are out to prove a point this year and TO won't help them do it.

    • I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.  
    • I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
    • Sadiq feels like a lazy comp.  Sure he would be a big improvement over what we have but at a position we don't and maybe can't (midget qb) utilize.  I hope the staff puts together a list of players you automatically take at 19 (Freeling, Lemon, Downs, Faulk) and if none are there, trade back to look at (Thieneman, McNeil-Warren, Proctor, Lomu, Allen, Iheanachor, Banks, Woods).  I get the people that think an OT would be a waste because we temporarily patched that hole, and ILB and safety are a waste because that is high to take those particular positions, but by trading back we get extra picks to fill every need.  A draft that has an OT, S, ILB, slot WR, and C would really put us in a good position moving forward if we get an extra first three rounds additional pick.
