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.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
