If we extend Bryce on a franchise QB contract I'll check put as a Panthers fan until the nightmare is over. I'll just go back to being a general football fan and tuning into the most interesting games of the day. Hell, I've been halfway there for years. For years I've been alf ass watching the Panthers on one screen while watching other games on other screens.

I still don’t understand what Bryce has done to warrant any sort of extension talk at the moment. 
 

Edit: don’t know why this posted twice 

Because it bears repeating and the universe made sure that happened?

I had been on that Freeling/Proctor train as well. These mammoth athletic tackles don’t grow on trees. Once you were out of say…the top 10 or so picks. The sum of what either of these guys could be is so much greater than a safety or some slot who never had a 1,000 yd season. I’m sure the Jets and Browns went with the right guys lol, but glad our FO could see the ceilings.

I will be shocked if proctor makes it as a tackle. He is way too slow moving laterally and seems to have zilcho burst when the ball is snapped.

Guy can easily be a dominant IOL though

IF an extension comes, this might be one of the times where analytics will be to blame. I'm sure the FO will pick and choose a couple of stats that support Bryce, and then IF they could extend him around 33 mil? 

That surely sounds like a math decision where they're more concerned with the cap and a couple hand-picked stats than the eyeball test and wins. When our staff and FO have so many ties to Tampa and Seattle....who have QBs in that same range, Bryce in the low to mid 30s is probably their goal.

I'm sure we also wouldn't want to let him reach free agency from a goodwill stand point. But this could be the ultimate "go test your market" situation. Hey, you want more? Go see what you can get. 

nah if it doesnt work out this year then he is done here which is why the 5th ext was always stupid

I sort of get the 5th year. 
Apparently today, keeping it to a one year contract is not giving them respect and now they aren’t playing for a deal from you at that point they are playing for their FA contract. And they will want to stick it to you if they blow up. Hell at that point you are just a foil to get their price up. And they want to teach you a lesson for not believing in them. 
Instead of the goodwill that 5th year shows - where maybe you might get them at a mid contract like 33mil, he’ll no it is is 60 million now.  And your 26 million 5th year looks like a bargain. 
 

I don’t know if I have it explained right but it is something like that

Where you can split the the 26.5 over two years cap wise if you want out. And the NFL throws numbers like this around like it it spillage. Teams have 100 million cap hits they absorb.  
They just have too much money to allow it to constrain their reach; it is just a number to them - all of them the teams, the players, the league itself

Stroud has been on a downward trend ever since his rookie year.

His Rookie year was a historical, so naturally he wasnt gonna repeat it especially not with the issues texans had on offense but that is somehow considered regeression in a naysayers eyes. On the flip side bryce has improved based off being the absolute worst his rookie year, so anything better than that is considered improvement. Great logic by those folks.

      He is a great guy but a horrible reporter. He makes my skin crawl when I hear his name. I heard that babies cry and dogs attack him when he enters a room. Other than that he is a good dude. Now go burn in hades u sum bit.

      The job just really passed him by. He came up when basically you just needed to get three or four quotes, toss a couple of team provided stats in there, and stretch it out to column length. you got your copy in by 330, out the door by 4, then chill/shmooze the rest of the day. If you were really good you got a book deal. Every now and then you got to write an editorial. The goal of the profession was like Peter King where ostensibly you’re a beat writer for whomever but you get paid to just shoot the poo. now it’s a 24 hour job, you’ve gotta be social media savvy, the pace has increased substantially, you’re expected to produce more than ever, you gotta be able to look through bullshit etc. there’s still risk of industry capture where you just become a mouth piece. Sheena Quick is obviously shameless. I don’t think Newton ever aspired to be more than an inoffensive beat writer, but even that relatively simple role was just more than he was cut out for. its even worse when you’re covering a team that expects the Fourth Estate to act as a PR extension, or considers them on par with buying Twitter bots to promote Bryce. there were over thirty papers that covered the panthers first training camp. In that environment there’s room for boring guys like newton, and they may even be incentivized to push the boundary a little. But today that just isn’t the case and most of the guys are hanging on until retirement (person, gantt) or they’re good and gonna be matched up like Jordan. im not defending the current state of sports journalism, just saying that what counts as a meat and potatoes beat writer passed newton by. He’s retiring well past his sell by date, but that’s pretty common for his generation in general.
