Every year people freak out about the cap and every year the Panthers spend.  Caps a myth and can manipulated to get what you want

Cap concerns are real. Ask any number of teams, including the current Saints. I mean, have we all forgotten how badly Hurney 1.0 left us cap strapped??

I tend to agree with you about the cap. But in fairness every year the Panthers are also trash. Sucks but that's the truth.

Think this has more to do with drafting and coaching.  Hopefully we are moving in the right direction.  At this time no one knows, and if they claim to they are full of poo

Drafting yes absolutely. Last year was a lack of talent on the coaching end more than anything IMO. You don't give up the most defensive points in history without having left the cupboards bare. Winning free agency is one thing. The 2025 draft class is going to be one of the most consequential in franchise history for us.

I hve to explain to why that is bad?

You can explain why it’s the end of the world. Moton is a core player who is still a top 10 RT in the league. We can extend and lower his cap hit if we want, and if he or the team doesn’t want to do that then we are paying a lot of money to a guy who is instrumental to our offense for one more year. The cap hit is not great, but at least he will play and play very well. Our problems have been dead cap.

Free agent defensive end Dante Fowler Jr. has agreed to a contract with the Dallas Cowboys, a source confirmed to ESPN.

 

It marks a return to Dallas for Fowler, who played for the team in 2022 and '23 before signing with the division-rival Washington Commanders last year. Fowler will help to replace defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence, who left Dallas to sign with the Seattle Seahawks this week.

    • Yeah it is wasted for everyone. Even AT, who he fed, felt like it was wasted. Was done with it.  The resources…  surely as a long term Panthers fan and from that viewpoint, he put it on a side track that does not lead anywhere but right back where we were. Years later.  If we had healthy CBs vs TB in ‘22 we could have gotten into the playoffs with a losing record. We essentially blew all of that time, money and assets to do a 360. 3 fuging years.    Now we are supposed to wait 5 years for him to make mid. Top 15 ranking. I am not sure they would have waited 5 years for Joe Montana. You think Belichick waits 5 years for Brady? Not me. And we are in the era of the cheap slotted salary for drat picks era, where it is supposed to be easier to move on. You have to want to though and you have to be in charge with a clue.  He has had flashes that lasted a whole game, a couple of times. I could stretch that to 4 maybe but I am not even sure of that. Maybe. He has had substantially more flashes that lasted a half or quarter, but all that combined doesn’t stack as high as his weak performances.  It is maddening.       
    • Well, I guess we know which team showed up.
    • Here is how I see it...You can talk to the QB until 15 seconds before the play clock expires.  There are reasons to believe that Canales is spending a lot of time gathering information from those in better position to make the decisions.  Have you noticed how often we break the huddle between 15 and 13 seconds remaining?  I have a theory... 1. Canales is on the sideline.  His view of the field is not as good as the OC, who is sitting in the box in the sky--he can see the defense, spacing, substitutions, etc.  This means that Canales must get information from up top before selecting a play. 2. Canales has to spend time during the week with the defense, special teams, etc. in addition to the offense.  The OC is with the offense all week.  He knows the plays that were run well in practice--he knows the nicks and dings they might be complaining about--he knows their questions and input about certain plays, formations, etc.  Canales may be aware, but not AS aware.  3.  Canales likes the moniker "QB whisperer."  He may feel more confident being the voice in Bryce's helmet because he is Bryce's mentor.  Just a theory--but Canales could be the play caller because Bryce is the QB and he is trying to literally whisper into the QB ear.
