This is what I was saying earlier. He wants to play close to home. Honestly same as AT playing in Minnesota (except he was contracted to play here). People have to let things fully unfold before they start whining. Regardless I doubt HR will have as good of a year as some think. I see him as a clutch 3rd down guy and a nice vet to mentor these young WRs. 

 I think how good of year Hunter has boils down to Canales’ scheme and playcalling.   If he just runs the stuff he did  last year and asks him to run ATs routes….Hunter won’t do much

He said his conditioning in camp was a problem and the plan was for him to go to the PS to work on that. When the Adam thing happened, they decided to have him join the 53. The plan is still for him to work on his conditioning for the time being. He may be inactive or he may just play a few times here and there.

Canales said it was a concern when he was justifying all his roster moves. Which I still say you can’t  take what coaches say as the gospel when they are explaining things on a mic.

Hunter said we got games coming up, so I guess we will see.

I know you are happy your guy is on the roster and will get playing time.

Much like Bryce though….not sure Hunter really fits Dave.  So, just for the record it’s not me picking on Bryce with fit of scheme

I think he could be a nice reliable 3rd down target. Let him find the soft spots in the defense. XL and TMac should handle the outside.

No, that’s what Hunter said. I know DC said something similar, but hunter gave more detail.

Yeah but the guys that stepped up when KB left were veterans well into their careers.

Ted “no hands” Ginn and his sidekick Grandpa Cotchery. 

No lie… to this day, and forever, I’m always still gonna love me some Ted Ginn.  I tell people all the time who aren’t Panther fans so they don’t know - Ted legit was our best receiver during Cam’s tenure here.

Yeah, the recent interview in front of his locker….

if you listen, Hunter regurgitates what Canales said and does it from Canales’ perspective.  Coach said,  coach thought, Coach wanted. 

Every year I explain my position that coaches are not truthful people when it comes to explaining decisions and what is going on….they aren’t in the business of letting us know what is going on behind the scenes.   Nothing ever supported what Dave was selling.  He saw something apparently no one covering the team every single day saw.  He kept his boy and had to have a reason to explain it at the end of the day….and saying Moore was better would not sell

Hunter never had said he believed such is what I am saying.  That was Dave BSing his roster decisions.  What coaches do.  Hunter doesn’t play OL.  Odds are with his select slot work and his role….he is better prepared than our lineman for week 1.

A lot of our current offensive system is spreading guys out, running 4 or 5 wide and letting Bryce find the best matchups presnap.  

Hunter is elite at settling in a zone and running underneath routes.  

I see both as good fits for our scheme.  

Hunter was originally signed at 1 mil for the year.  Now, it's 2 mil.  Absolutely nothing unusual with the whole process especially since from the start we knew he was only going to play for us.

If we'd kept AT, it was up to Hunter if being on the practice squad was inline with his playing goals this year.  When we traded AT that gives Hunter the chance he wanted.

None of this stuff is done on a whim.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
