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.

Why waste a roster spot on a dude that has no desire? My boy is a Jets fan and he despises him. The Jets did everything that they could to motivate him to play (even restructuring his contract that gave him a $9 million incentive just to get one sack), he just doesn't have it.

Why waste a roster spot an on undrafted rookie free agent that is no better?

Probably because they already know the system right now than gholsten does, nobody knows what the undrafted fa upside could be, could be gem, could be bust, and everyone in the league knows what gholsten is capable of doing. Two quotes said earlier should summarize it well...

"you don't fix suck with more suck"

"he has been cut more than he has gotten sacks in three years"

You claim people don't have foundation to their arguments, yet you provide the same.

When did the choice of who to pick up become between a huge bust and a undrafted rookie? There will be tons of players cut soon that are better than Gholston ever was in the NFL.

With that logic we should sign every FA out there... It will not hurt the Panthers. Come to think about it, with all the "what about this dude" threads - Maybe that is what the huddle want.:confused:

Bengals have released DL Lolomana Mikaela.

I say sign him, acquire Chargers WR Seyi Ajirotutu and keep Kealoha Pilares, then start them all and tune in to hear Mick Mixon calling that game on the radio :willy_nilly:

Edit: Trade for Joselio Hanson too.

Why stop there? Get Manumaleuna off the street and pick up Hoomanawanui from the Rams, make your TE group even deeper.

gholston is arguably one of the biggest busts in the last 5 years

before he actually played on the field you couldn't find a single sports media or draftnik website/blog that didn't praise him to the point where they thought he was going to be LT 2.0

the guy is jacked and had one good game against Jake Long in college. Lot's of "experts" were high on him.

He is a big time bust and the Jets are lucky that this pick didn't have dire consequences.

Gholston is so disappointing. There is no reason he should bust like that, but maybe this was a case of the media hyping up a player before the draft to be bigger than his britches. I remember really hoping he fell to the Panthers.

Definitely one of the biggest draft busts of the past decade, mainly because he was tabbed as one of the only sure thing defensive players in that draft.

      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)
