basically talked about CBA, same stuff we've heard from other players

they then asked him what he thought about not getting the franchise tag

-said he has never NOT placed himself with the Panthers

-will remain loyal to Panthers(as long as they hold loyal to him), because 26 other teams passed on him

-when he found out Kalil was getting the tag, his reaction was "Kalil's gonna get a lot of money, but oh we get to keep Kalil!"

-says him not getting the franchise tag is a strong indication that they will try to resign him

more talk about the hat and cba/lockout than his future with the panthers...

...but because people want to know, he doesn't see himself not being a panther because when 20 something teams passed him over, carolina gave him a chance.

...and if carolina doesn't resign him, he hopes that one of the 31 others will.

your basic generic response.

They asked him how he felt about the Panthers franchising Kalil as opposed to him?

He said "My initial reaction was like whoa, Kalil is going to be making a lot of money" loll

He then said the Panthers were the team that gave him a chance when 26 other teams passed him up in the draft. He said his whole career has been with the Panthers, and them franchising Kalil means they'll most likely try to resign him.

basically talked about:

1. CBA

2. If he thinks a deal will get done - Said he was optimistic but is prepared financially if not

3. Asked about Kalil getting the tag. - Said "wow, kalil is getting 10 mil" but also said his first thought was "Cool we get to keep Kalil".

4. Said he is very thankful the panthers took a chance on him and he would be loyal to the panthers if they are loyal to him.

pretty much

figured it's a nice change of pace from the countless Newton threads all over this forum

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have.

      Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
