We all said either his plan would look genius or would backfire big time. Well, you see what it's done now.

He's a fuging idiot. If he would've kept his fuging mouth shut before Luck declared, we probably would be dealing with an entirely different scenario. Insulted Harbaugh, fans, etc.

This is pathetic. Get ready, we're the new Detroit Lions.

We're not the Lions.

But I agree that he's ran this franchise into this ground.

I believe he's old and stubborn, and doesn't have firm grip on what's going on around him.

For lack of a better term, he's become delusional, and whole pie chart scenario during the press conference the other day showed where his priorities are.

He no longer has any right to own this franchise, and I could only hope the NFL intervenes.

The fanbase needs to make a statement.

Dude comes to a presser talking about his investors, what HE wants from a coach, that he won't make a single contract until the new CBA is done, and comes at the media with all these snarky answers about how much money he spends and about the lockout. He may want to win, and that's great, but I'm not sure he knows how to win. He came off to me in a way that doesn't make me confident he is able to handle his position with his current state.

This is the worst time ever to be a Panthers fan. We've never been so low. Honestly, I don't think we're gonna be that much better even if we TRY to win next season, possibly looking at another Top 5 pick, especially if QB isn't addressed at all.

Problem is, the #1 pick isn't nearly as valuable as it once was being that Luck stayed at school. First year in a long time that there wasn't a pretty consensus #1 pick going into the draft. Like I said the other day, holding that presser when he did, saying what he said, then leaking that we'd take Luck the same day - LOL, I told you we'd be left standing at the altar with egg on our face.

We are a laughingstock right now. We ARE the Lions right now. Scratch that, WORSE. They had several opportunities to draft a franchise QB, missed on one, made it on the other but he's injury prone.

We don't even have that opportunity.

Say what you want, but Cam Newton and Gabbert aren't gonna be franchise guys. This is the most useless draft in years in regards to the top of the draft.

Dilfer is reporting that Luck didn't want to come to Charlotte. So what changed since the Bowl game? If he already knew he didn't like Charltotte/Carolina before the Bowl, he would've just said he was staying in school then, if it was truly about getting his degree, it wouldn't have mattered anyway...

What changed? JR's dumbass held the most media-savvy presser known to man...

way too early to say none of these other QBs will be anything. Luck was not a sure fire hit, no one ever is, he just had the least risk.

time to get on another bandwagon. At least now we don't have to worry about spending the months upcoming knowing who we'd pick!

Dont let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya as you leave. Maybe the Patriots have some space left on their bandwagon.

I don't know if you're responding to me, but that's not at all what I meant. I mean the relationship between the Panthers and Richardson.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      It all sounds great. The only unknowns are injuries and how they will need to be addressed. Horn has a history as does the newly added Jaelen Phillips and Cooker has yet to play an entire season as well. And then there are the Ikey's - totally unexpecteded injuries that put a major wrench in your plans. I do think its a great plan though.

      If we pay Bryce like a franchise QB we're completely and utterly buttfuged.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      In my view, the realistic expectation for this team to compete will start 2027.  At that time, I think we could be looking at the following (this is HIGHLY speculative):   QB:  You know, Bryce.  I am not a fan, but they don't ask me.  But there is reason for hope--and here it is.  Bryce will be entering his prime.  Since we are likely to pay him, there will be changes that I include throughout this exercise--I realistically speculate on what they are going to do with Bryce and then I realistically speculate on what means in terms of the cap and other positions. Bryce HAS IMPROVED.  The idea is that if you give him more weapons and protection, that will continue.  His career:   At this rate, if his growth continues, by 2027 we should expect nearly 30 TDs and about 12 Interceptions and a Rating of about 98.  His completion percentage should settle at 65-66% or so.  If that happens, you can win with it. The following stats demonstrate how the Panthers will be able to afford it (and re-sign Ickey) My guess is they will require about $60m per year. This is why rookies who can play are important.  It also helps us see the blueprint.  You may disagree, but this is the cruel realities of the salary cap. Robert Hunt:  Cut post June 1 and save $19m.  Who do you replace him with?  Ickey. Tershawn Wharton:  Cutting him saves nearly $15m.  We should all hope to see Aaron Hall (UDFA) make the roster and play well.  Regardless, this is a position we would likely have to address in the next draft. Trevin Moehrig:  Cutting Moehrig as the starting SS saves this team $16.5m.   Ransom will be on year 3 of a cheap rookie deal and should be more than ready to take the reins.  their styles are similar.  Furthermore, FS Wheatley (R, 4th round) will be starting. Taylor Moton:  So much depends on his knee, but I have an idea that he can play another 3 years.  extending him could save the team about $5m per year.  Cutting him outright would save the team about $21m. In the most drastic situation, we have to cut Moton and the other three players mentioned.   We would need (in all likelihood) a starting DT and RT.  It is possible that the DE would be addressed, but Wharton's production (so far) could be equaled by a rookie.  Look for a cut free agent and a 2027 draft pick here.  If you cut Moton, you save $21m, and that would be the only big hole to fill.  Having Ickey at RG gives you some depth at T, and Ickey could be the guy.  T could be pick in the 2027 draft (first round), fwiw.  It saves you $21m while costing you $5m, for example. We get younger, creating a core of Freeling, Hecht, and the RT first rounder in 2027) along with Ekownu (second contract in the $15m range, and Lewis, whose contract would be in the $16m range if not extended.)  The OL cuts (Hunt, Moton) would save $40m.  The OL would get younger and still solid with veterans at G.   By cutting Wharton (no brainer if his play stays the same) and Moehrig (good player--but we have Ransom on a rookie contract who would not be that much of a drop off--if any) in addition to Hunt and Moton, we would save over $70m in cap room. We would be able to give Bryce bag  and we would have enough to re-sign Ickey (if the knee is not too risky) to a Guard contract (probably at a discount, coming off that injury).  Furthermore, we could add a RT in the draft (or a RG if Ickey moves to RT) and that would be the only large hole to fill. Correct my logic if you see issues-- On defense, in addition to the aforementioned, Scott ($2m contract) is out, replaced by a 4th round rookie contract. CB Jackson's contract ($7.8m) expires and he is (possibly) replaced by a rookie contract.  At Edge, patrick Jones II's $10m contract expires and he is likely a reserve, and his role is absorbed by Phillips, Scourton, Princely, and possible an UDFA like Isaiah Smith or a 2027 draft pick.   These productive developmental players over the past 2 drafts will pay huge dividends.  On paper, I see the team getting much younger and possibly better while cutting nearly $100m and reallocating that money to get more production.
