Why The Panthers Are Quiet During FA

A league source with access to the numbers said the Panthers have a whopping $24,042 worth of cap room, last in the league.

So not only can they not sign any free agents until they clear some room, but they couldn't even buy a full-size car with what they've got left. Then again, if they've got it in cash, they might be able to buy General Motors, but that's another topic altogether.

If we do poorly this year after sitting on our haunches and not clearing any cap room, I will f'ing despise people that will STILL defend Fox and Hurney here. I will despise you.

Do tell me sweet cakes who would make an impact here in FA?

I will never say FOX is the best in the league, but he is pretty damn good.

Hurney, gets way too much blame and never enough credit.

But please, tell me, who do you want signed ?

Real problem now... If we DO do something with Peppers, how are we going to use up 17 million between FA and drafts?

Wouldn't take long.

I would rather sit on it, extend a couple of our guys coming up (T.Davis) and have a nice bag of capspace waiting for 2010.

Oh and you DON'T have to use up all your cap space to be a competitive team either. I think you need to save a bit of room for injury replacements as well.

What are you saying!

We should bring in everyone and offer them as much as possible!

Having a plan in FA is crazy talk!!!!

IF WE HAD THE SPACE, i would like to see any OG or OT signed.. no big names, just a cheap O-lineman for depth.. maybe Orlando Pace for a 1-2 year deal.. he cant possibly think of starting at his age, right?

or some depth at DT, DE or CB:

DT Dewayne Robertosn, DT Anthony Weaver

DE Michael Montgomery, DE Kalimba Edwards

CB Joselio Hanson, CB Chris Johnson

just to name a few..

Survey says...the same people who whine about that will be the first ones to whine when those guys turned out to be not worth the huge $$. :D

None of these guys have been signed so nothing has been missed.

Pace won't be a backup IMO.

Until we trade/cut Lucas we don't need a CB

Robertson is waiting on us I think, or he is so bashed up its a waste.

The type of people you are talking about is exactly the type of FA's we WILL eventually sign.

It has worked for us in the past and will again.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Everyone knew the catch was secured and didn't move. That was clear to the entire audience. The only ones who thought it wasn't a catch were in the NYC home office. They knew they'd just offer an apology the next day.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
