Thoughts on changes

couple things that jumped out at me from the Super Bowl that I think need to be changed for the future....

forward progress rule...if you are on offence and you deliberately make a move backwards to try to gain more forward yardage, you're forward progress needs to be eliminated. Saw a couple passes caught last night where the receiver purposely moved backwards to try to get around the defender and they still got spotted where they caught the ball....this is wrong I think.

the whole celebration thing needs to be relooked, again! Guy gets a pick six in the fricken super bowl and get's flagged for excessive celebration!! Seriously? Yes, sharpies in the sock and cell phones in the padding is over the top...but come on...it's rediculous now!

and I personally hope they cut the preseason games from 4 to 2, regardless of the regular season games. All this talk of 16-4 or 18-2....why can't it be 16-2 and just move the start or end of the season?

only reason I threw in the 3rd part was it seems to be a sticking point with alot of folks...not sure why the big need to stick with 20 games. If there is truly a safety issue with having 4 preseason games, and as a season ticket holder, I am opposed to having to pay full price for 2 preseason games too...but why does it have to be 20 games?

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.
