i agree

These two lines had gave me a chuckle:

Season Summary:

All of the close victories. All of the decisive blowouts. All of the rushing yardage that DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart compiled. All of the talk about how the Steve Smith fight brought the team together. All of it meant nothing when Jake Delhomme threw five interceptions against the Cardinals to appease his son's kidnappers. One has to wonder how much money those people bet on the Arizona moneyline.

AND....

Quarterback: What kind of millionaire quarterback uses string traps and glue on the banister to prevent robbers from stealing things/children from inside his house? Get an alarm system next time, Jake, and then you won't have to throw a playoff game. In all seriousness, Delhomme, 34, is in his contract year. If the Panthers can get a good deal on Josh Freeman or Nate Davis, don't expect them to hesitate.

That was pretty funny, but seriously one has to wonder WTH is going on when your starting QB turns the ball over 6 times in a playoff game. But I regress...just found it humorous.

The article was high on humor but devoid of any real substance. Talked about Hackett but didn't mention Jarrett, Carter or Robinson who collectively add good depth.

I doubt we franchise Gross and let Peppers walk. We will posture but in the end we will sign Gross and franchise Peppers for picks. The only way we don't do that is if we can't reasonably get under the cap with Peppers salary. I can't beleive we won't give gross what he wants.

As for defensive line we will need a few guys but for example didn't mention how much better Johnson played last year and that he is a star on the rise. We really need one good DE and one good DT and we might be better than last year.

I wish there were someone who either had real understanding or at least a fresh perspective. Rehashing the same old crap gets pretty boring.

First of all, it's a decent write-up, it's really for people doing mock drafts, or uninformed fans, not exactly for the fans who know everyone on the roster inside and out. The guy stated the needs that have been clearly stated on this board, so I don't really see a problem, and he gives possible scenarios.

You expect this guy to know that a back up DE that didn't play often could be a potential star? Could you do that for other teams in the NFL you don't really study? It's just a quick run-down of each teams basic needs in the draft/FA and whose contract is up.

It was humorous but once you make two turnovers (or even one?)... it can really get into your head and start screwing things up.

Sadly there are people that think they know it all and have to be a critic of everything someone says on this board. Some are worse than other but like I said Sadly they live their lives to contradict everyone else.

I as you thought the article was well written and pretty much hit the nail on the head of our needs. With the lack of a #1 pick (for now) Marty will be tasked with getting the most out of our picks. If he is remotely able to duplicate 2008 NFL Draft we will be solid again.

Go Panthers

    • I just dont get the worry over losing a practice squad player that just went undrafted. Everyone just made their selections. The chances of a team wanting to sign him to an active roster after not selecting him is very low.  If that interested they would have taken him late to evaluate in person. As far as I can tell two qbs were signed off another teams practice squad last season and they were both going in to their 5th season.
    • I enjoyed reading this thread and the usual banter that follows. The only silver lining I can identify right now is we do actually have a couple of young QB's behind him and we do have a nice roster on both sides of the ball built around the most important position. So if the team overall shows some promise but we still falter largely due to a lack of consistent passing output (again) hopefully the decision makers can be free to make the best decision for the team going forward after the conclusion of this upcoming season.
    • I don't really follow the team anymore due to a variety of reasons and consequently have largely stopped posting but I agree that this is a lovely website and community. This forum probably kept me around for years longer than I would've stuck otherwise because of how difficult it was to stop checking multiple times a day. Especially appreciate how lax the moderation tends to be compared to a lot of places, the crew here does a great job. Out of curiousity I decided to try making a new account (solely for testing purposes) to see what exactly is wrong with the sign up process. The issue seems to be that it never sends you an account verification email, thus making it impossible to complete registration. This is likely something to do with the email server upstream, hope it gets fixed. Also, lol
