Dude has done ABSOLUTELY nothing in the NFL, he may be able to upgrade the waterboy position but that's it.

Right? Panther fans see players who had potential before they entered the league as far better players than they are. Typically these players haven't done anything in the league, but some how, these fans are convinced they'll change their ways.

"Lets pick up Gholston and Maybin who got cut by the Bills! They were both 1st round picks so they must be good! They have so much ability! We can use them right!!!"

I think (DE) Vernon Gholston, (C/G) Andre Gurode, (CB) Nate Jones, (CB) Kevin Dockery, (OL) Oneil Cousins, and (DT) Jovan Haye would all be good assets at this point.

They are better than a lot of what we have right now on the roster.

Vernon Gholston is a complete bust. Would not want him anywhere near our roster.

David Carr was a first overall pick that we picked up in free agency. How did that work out for us?

I see what you did there, but that's apples and oranges. This is a different coaching staff than who picked him up; plus Carr's working out pretty well as a backup on teh Giants. Sometimes all it takes is just the right fit in the right situation.

Explain to me where it would actually hurt the team by taking a flyer on Gholston... If you can correctly articulate a sentence that demonstrates how signing Vernon Gholston to a depleted defensive line would actually hurt then we will actually have a conversation on our hands.

Until then, get back to the books... noob.

He holds that clipboard with passion. I wonder if he does a front flip over the bench when he picks it up?

He got cut more times than he sacked the quarterback in three seasons.

Vernon Gholston did poo with REX RYAN. One of the best (if not the best) defensive mind in the NFL right now. Then he went to Rod Marinelli and Lovie Smith. Two more really good defensive coaches.

What the hell would we bring him here? None of those 3 guys could get anything out of him, why waste our time? Gholston is done.

Gholston had a clause built in with the Jets, all he needed to get was one sack and it would have got him a $9 million dollar bonus. :lol:

Nearly all centers can. And that'd be a big "he!! yes" for me as far as going after him.

(instant upgrade to the O-Line, something which is much needed)

um... no thanks on Gurode

he's aging, is barely 2 months removed from knee surgery, is a much better center than guard (ask Parcells), and he apparently reported to camp 20 lbs overweight.

i want to upgrade RG too, but my plan involves picking up someone that comes down the cuts pike that is healthier, younger and not deteriorating. Why solve a problem started with injuries by picking up a guy who has question marks regarding his own health and conditioning

Once again, Panthers fans showing their ignorance. I still haven't recieved a comment that specifies how signing Gholston would actually hurt the Panthers. Apparently Panther fans are ok with the mediocracy of our defensive ends right now in Malcolm Tatum, Ugo Chinasa, and Thomas Keiser.

You don't fix suck by adding more suck.

CJ/Hardy will start and be ok.

Norwood comes in on 3rd and long.

Everete Brown can spin in place on the sidelines to help us save on the electricity bill (less fans)

Gholston has failed horribly on 2 teams now.

While I wouldn't frown at signign him for a vet min. I don't see the logic is adding another bad player.

      The only thing I said was he was part of the staff that made part of the decisions, and that I am judging the decisions made by that group as a whole. As assistant GM, you can pretty much guarantee his input held more sway than an intern or the guy that takes coffee requests. Fitterer didn't operate in a vacuum. Neither does Morgan now. While Fitterer did have the ultimate decision, to say that Dan had no input in ranking boards, evaluating FAs, trade offers or anything else would be asinine. We all know he did. Otherwise what the hell was his job as assistant GM? He wouldn't have been kept for 3 years if he was arguing every decision Scott ever made.    And the actual quote was "Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names." So is XL kicking ass and Brooks taking names from last years draft or did I get it backwards? We took Wallace over Payton Wilson because he was an injury risk after trading up for a RB with a torn ACL? Which one of the kicking ass and taking names was that?  Maybe we should review the thousands of gameday posts calling for XL to get off the field because he's a bust and can't catch a cold. We could review the posts about Brooks but... And Wilson. He's at 118 tackles this season vs 36 for Wallace.  I gave credit to Dan for a good draft this year. But I'm also not ignoring last year's draft either since he did that one after the last guy too.  That's not a strawman.

      And then, in week 18, we can take Mayfield out of the game and whoop Bridgewater's @$$ for good measure! Let the former QB revenge train roll on!!

      If we keep our guards in tact ($$$) and go with Mays at C, some OT depth would be nice. I think we should be happy about CB with Thornton's development (pre injury) and Smith Wade. I think Ransom is developing nicely, but I would like to see a FS type for situations. We suck at ILB and Edge (as a whole). We should be OK at RB.  I hope we sign Dowdle to a short contract. QB?  There are signs of hope and development.  (I don't like our backup QB) TE?  Good draft for TE, but I think we are developing with Evans, Sanders, and Tremble. WR?  A #2 with Coker and Horn in the slot.  XL?  What is that? We should be good in 2026. Morgan does more than draft.  Free agency has been strong too.  (Just emptying my brain on your comment--sorry)
