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.

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

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
