The Johnson signing just shafted Atlanta pretty bad

[Snake]

Atlanta is in a dangerous place right now, they have fooled themselves into thinking they are one player away from a SB and they are mortgaging their draft on Julio Jones (who may be great, but at the end of the day he's still just a WR).

If the strategy is to win shootouts with GB, good luck with that... Ryan couldn't carry Rodgers jock.

I will also be a much harder road this year as well. Last year the Div was pretty much ATLs to take but this year both the Buc's and us have had great drafts and it looks like we are players in FA as well. Could be a much harder road to compete when you have a crappy D.

Yes sir, that is indeed Charles Dance of Golden Child. :D

You mean my dear sweet brother Numpse

. . and everyone knows, a Lannister always pays his debts. . . and enjoys incestuous sex, but we'll overlook that.

:lol: Whoa whoa whoa Fiz...

I said Atlanta had to be the other possibility when he questioned why he would stay in Charlotte.

And I was right, according to him, they were gonna be it because his family was pressing him to come home, but our offer was just too good.

So, I was right... Aside from putting that out there, occasionally my emo-Pantherfan side came out and I said I thought he was gonna leave.

Dramatic? Yes. Guaranteed? No.

I'm convinced that's why carolina came out with the big guns on CJ because he was going to Atlanta if we didn't.

Theyre not as bad shape as you put, but they have a very small window(White, Gonz, Turner, Abraham, Peterson etc). Jones will be the #2 wr by default, Jenkins is a #3 at best. They have a nice list of first round busts.

Thats what happen...

To the topic... It didnt hurt us because we didnt lose anything.. We was tryi ng to gain something... It does suck tho.

My guess is we was offering CJ around 8.5 - 9 mil a year but the panthers brass stepped up and offered the house.

If you listen to Charles Johnson comments... Dude even sounded surprise.

This should help:

Denial is a defense mechanism postulated by Sigmund Freud, in which a person is faced with a fact that is too uncomfortable to accept and rejects it instead, insisting that it is not true despite what may be overwhelming evidence. [1] The subject may use:

• simple denial - deny the reality of the unpleasant fact altogether
  
• minimisation - admit the fact but deny its seriousness (a combination of denial and rationalization)
  
• projection - admit both the fact and seriousness but deny responsibility.
  

The concept of denial is particularly important to the study of addiction. The theory of denial was first researched seriously by Anna Freud. She classified denial as a mechanism of the immature mind, because it conflicts with the ability to learn from and cope with reality. Where denial occurs in mature minds, it is most often associated with death, dying and rape. More recent research has significantly expanded the scope and utility of the concept. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross used denial as the first of five stages in the psychology of a dying patient, and the idea has been extended to include the reactions of survivors to news of a death. Thus, when parents are informed of the death of a child, their first reaction is often of the form, "No! You must have the wrong house, you can't mean our child!"[citation needed]

Unlike some other defense mechanisms postulated by psychoanalytic theory (for instance, repression), the general existence of denial is fairly easy to verify, even for non-specialists. On the other hand, denial is one of the most controversial defense mechanisms, since it can be easily used to create unfalsifiable theories: anything the subject says or does that appears to disprove the interpreter's theory is explained, not as evidence that the interpreter's theory is wrong, but as the subject's being "in denial". However, researchers note that in some cases of corroborated child sexual abuse, the victims sometimes make a series of partial confessions and recantations as they struggle with their own denial and the denial of abusers or family members.[2]

The concept of denial is important in twelve-step programs, where the abandonment or reversal of denial forms the basis of the first, fourth, fifth, eighth and tenth steps. The ability to deny or minimize is an essential part of what enables an addict to continue his or her behavior despite evidence that - to an outsider - appears overwhelming. This is cited as one of the reasons that compulsion is seldom effective in treating addiction — the habit of denial remains.

When a family intervention is conducted to help a person engaged in self-destructive behavior such as alcohol or drug abuse to accept help for his problem, denial is sometimes reduced or eliminated altogether. This is not always necessary, however, for the intervention to be successful in having the person accept help.

Understanding and avoiding denial is also important in the treatment of various diseases. The American Heart Association cites denial as a principal reason that treatment of a heart attack is delayed. Because the symptoms are so varied, and often have other potential explanations, the opportunity exists for the patient to deny the emergency, often with fatal consequences. It is common for patients to delay mammograms or other tests because of a fear of cancer, even though this is clearly maladaptive. It is the responsibility of the care team, and of the nursing staff in particular, to train at-risk patients to avoid such behavior
