are afraid of taking chances in life. They are probably stuck in middle management...if they made it that far. Stuck in a no a where job. They don't dream. They are afraid of greatness. Their wives hate them and their kids don't look up to them.

they are the type people who are content w/ Jimmy Clausen sucking it up another year. My little boy is only a couple weeks old but if I told him Jimmy Clausen should have "another go" he would do one of those crane kicks from the Karate Kid and kick me in the balls. I don't know how the little sack of potatoes would perform such an advanced move but he would. Needless to say, would support Cam coming to Carolina!!

Difficult to work out if this is serious or not...

There are risks and then there are calculated risks. Those people that you claim that have achieved greatness through constant risk taking, are either very lucky or very calculated with the risks they take.

Is Newton a complete gamble, or are the odds on his side? History suggests his style of playing won't produce long term success, however the recent shift to mobile QBs is in his favor.

Unfortunately I don't see him as a mobile QB, once he takes his eyes from down the field he is only trying to do one thing. The great mobile QBs buy time with their legs and then throw. Cam buys time to create a running lane.

This also leads to people only stealing sips of beer and not the whole bottle.

Jk :D

...and people that take foolish chances don't even make it to middle management, they're living in a van down by the river.

It's easy when you're at the bottom of the totem pole to tell people at the top that they should take risks, when those at the bottom already have nothing to lose, maybe just a couple of corn crops.

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

      By frankw · Posted

      Arguing about who had what and who did what with more is just going to end in the same charades. If we're going to waste a lot of hot air arguing then make it about something that cannot be denied. What you are seeing with your own two eyes. Cam Newton was a tremendously talented athlete albeit flawed in fundamental aspects. And although he played poorly in and lost a Super Bowl you cannot deny him that more often than not through his prime his teammates knew they could count on him to hold up his end of the bargain usually and be a key driving force for keeping them in games. Giving his defense much needed rest and motivation in wanting to match his grit as a competitor. That aspect is just not there with Bryce Young. Yeah he's dumped on the Falcons in a dome twice but what about his other 44 games? When has the Panthers defense the last three years ever looked at their starting quarterback and thought to themselves "man I'm so glad he's my QB"?

      Rico walking is no big deal. I'll take a healthy 2024 Hubbard over Rico any time and losing Mays is, again, no a big deal.  Young is signed for what, $35M for the next two years? Say he wants $50M but the FO doesn't. If they put the franchise tag on him, that would be around $55? So basically they are getting Young for the next 3 years for an average of $30M per year. Putting the franchise tag on him wouldn't be my first choice but it gives them an option that wouldn't be locking him into a long term, $50M contract. I'm not suggestion they do that. Just that the option will be there should they get to that point. Hunt is on a 5 year deal which is done in 28 so he either restructures or is gone anyway. Moton will be 35 by then and will either be gone or have diminished playing time. Neither of those players has anything to do with getting Young a contract. The O line is way overpaid anyway. Hopefully by the time they are gone, Freeling and Hecht will be developed and Ickey will be healthy. Young was benched his second year and only got his job back because Dalton was injured. Not sure how you can call that entitled. And I would NOT say putting a rookie QB on a team with no receivers, tight ends or O lineman and then being put with a coach who never wanted you and is fired mid season, is a definition of luck. As far as competition, no team is going to bring in competition for a QB picked first overall - especially given the capital that was given up to get him.
