He has us at 27th, and most of what he says is agreeable except:

They refused to trade DeAngelo Williams for a presumed Round 2 selection. And yet, they think they can get one for Steve Smith, who is done.

Ridiculous on two counts. To think we should let go of a first rounder who exceeded expectations for a second round pick, AND THEN to claim that Steve Smith is done?! whew, I hope for walter's sake Smitty doesn't catch wind of this. He's liable to catch a broke nose.

DeAngelo is worth at most a 2nd round pick.

I know Panther fans love DeAngelo, but the facts are simply that RB is the easiest position to replace and has the shortest shelf life. Combine that with the fact that DeAngelo is 28 continues to have consistent and nagging injuries and anyone should see why DeAngelo's trade value just isn't that high.

Doesn't matter anyways. I don't believe that players can be traded without the CBA and I know they can't be traded without being under contract.

You don't see a thing wrong with "Steve Smith is done"? Then you, sir, are in the wrong place.

and I'm not saying "WE CAN GET THREE FIRTSZ AND EIGHT SECONDSZES FOR DEANGELO!!!", I'm merely saying there's no way we SHOULD trade him for a second round pick. NO WAY. Worth WAY more to this team than a second round pick.

      Can’t get over this

      By Newtcase · Posted

      It's worth noting that we started playing something that looked like football after going down 17-0 against the Dolphins.  Up to that point we had rushed the ball 3 times and Bryce had two turnovers.   Then we ran it 5 straight times with Rico and he started cracking off some big gains and led to our first touchdown.  Another 37 yards of rushing later, Bryce goes 1 yard complete, incomplete, incomplete to get that field goal before halftime.  Then we committed big time to the run in the second half and played some really nice complimentary football.  The Panthers had stumbled on a formula, and it started with Rico being crazy productive.  Something they only learned because Chubba was injured and Bryce started that game so poorly they were forced to lean on Rico. Fast foward to Dallas, they essentially lean into the same game plan against the Cowboys and I think everyone was surprised by how quickly it started to look complimentary.  In my opinion the productive offense really helped the defense as well.  We played quite solid against a top offense. Finally we make our way to the Jets and Bills, Chubba's return.  You can't say the low scoring affair and return to ineffective football against the Jets was all on Chubba, they were indeed a better defense and so was Buffalo.  But the production difference between the two backs in both games was both visually and statistically obvious.  The bigger picture is the offense took a major step back as well.  They are other moving parts and it's isn't all one thing, BY9>Dalton by a decent margin at this point.   But yeah, Rico's vision and athleticism is just better than Chubba and it jumps at you.

      Shingles…

      By Lame Duck · Posted

      First day in 3 weeks my pain started to dwindle just a tiny bit.  Got switched from hydrocodone to post-shingles pain patches.  My insurance refused to pay for my patches as I’m too young for shingles per them.  I also need a prescription to get shingles shot and insurance also won’t pay for it even thought I just had shingles and in high risk to get it again.
