The recent signings looks to be for filling up ST. I'm glad RR isn't wasting time with guys who can't tackle. I would guess a lot more movement after the saints game too. Hopefully he finds the right chemistry and combo of players to start winning this year.

If they are looking to replace STs players, I would recommend starting with BAKER!

Dude, does the ST Coach REALLY have to tell you...after the man not long before ran a kick back 90+ yards only to be stopped in the Cat's Red Zone...NOT TO KICK THE BALL TO DEVIN HESTER?!

When asked why/how he kicked that low-flying duck to Hester, he said he decided to try to kick the ball soccer-style, end over end to make it more difficult for Hester to catch the ball. 1st Mistake was deciding to kick the ball to Hester. 2nd mistake was deciding on the fly to try something new, to put a 'spin' on the ball to make it hard for him to catch. How'd that work out for ya? :rolleyes:

Yeah, ST players can be blamed for poor tackling, but Baker set them up for failure with his dumb@ss decisions in that kick to Hester. The ST coach also has to take some blame. While he was probably thinking Baker was smart enough to pick up the idea NOT to kick to Hester on his own and thus required no need to tell him not to do so, It's his team...and HIS team committed that FUBAR.

In the Immortal words of John Wayne: "Life is hard; It's harder if you're stupid."

Baker....Kicking to Hester was just plain stupid.

:iamwithstupid:

Still, and always, a Cats Fan, though!

The coach wanted him to kick to Hester, he just didn't get the kick they wanted. He was asked to do a rugby style, knuckling, high kick, he didn't get the hang time they wanted. Rivera said as much in his presser. It wasn't Bakers idea to kick to Hester.

It sure is sad that you can't contribute to a general discussion. I've been on the huddle since 2006 and there really seems to be no ability to have decent discussions without uncalled for comments. This site has always had its share of sarcastic people but now its as if many huddlers aren't hear to chat and discuss the panthers. They are more interested in trying to be witty with there gifs, pics and moronic comments. But hey thanks for the input buddy.

I'm not going to say IMO that kicking to Hester wasn't stupid, but with that being said it's not Baker's fault. He was just doing as the coaches told him. He has been the best player on the team the past 2 years, haha

Best player? No. Unfortunatly he has been the most utilized player..

Go to Panthers.com and watch Ron Rivera's press conference. It was the coaching staff's decision to kick the ball to Hester not Baker's. He was told to kick it "rugby style" to him not soccer style. It was not Baker's decision.

Please know what you are talking about before making yourself sound really dumb. 2 guys had him down but Hester busted straight through them. How could you possibly blame that on Baker? He did his job. You sound so dumb. It bothers me so bad when people talk out of their booties on here.

    • gives a good update on the Saints salary cap situation.  While it gets better, but their dead money situtation is frightening, and will continue for another 2-3 seasons.   and this little excerpt about the Falcons is pretty much Falconing:   Some of the worst decisions franchises can make come when the team's incentives aren't aligned with the people who work for the team. Seven years removed from their last winning season and with a quarterback who has all of three career starts under center in Michael Penix Jr., the Falcons should not be all-in. There are reasons to be optimistic about what the future might hold, sure, but they were not one player away this offseason. General manager Terry Fontenot, though, might have been one player away from having a new job. After the disastrous, virtually inexplicable decision to guarantee Kirk Cousins $90 million in March 2024 and draft Penix a month later, and its natural conclusion with Cousins being benched by the end of his first year in Atlanta, the clock has been ticking on Fontenot's time with the Falcons. With the former Saints executive batting about 1-for-8 (Drake London) on his Day 1 and 2 picks in 2021 and 2022, it seems as if Atlanta is treading water. He is only the seventh GM since 2000 to start his career with four losing seasons and get a shot at turning things around in Year 5.     good summary on what we did, including this part " Carolina Panthers The superlative: Most likely to have definitely solved their problem this time, for sure Unlike the Falcons, the Panthers seem insistent on addressing their weak spot every single offseason. Since trading DJ Moore to the Bears as part of the deal for Bryce Young in 2023, Carolina has thrown asset after asset at wide receiver in an attempt to get its young quarterback some playmakers. Its moves for veterans have produced mixed results: Adam Thielen has been a reliably solid option and averaged a team-high 1.9 yards per route run over the past two seasons, but Diontae Johnson's brief run will probably be remembered only by obsessive Immaculate Grid users. The draft is where the Panthers have focused their efforts. After drafting Jonathan Mingo in 2023, Xavier Legette in 2024 and Tetairoa McMillan last month, they have invested top-40 picks on wide receivers in three consecutive drafts. They're the first team to do that in 20 years, but even they haven't gone to the heights that the 2003-05 Lions did: Detroit used three top-10 picks to add Charles Rogers, Roy Williams and Mike Williams. Two years later, the Lions added a fourth who stuck around slightly longer -- future Hall of Famer Calvin Johnson. The Lions went 1-for-3 at best with those three consecutive picks in the top 10. The Panthers are on pace to go 0-for-2. Mingo was dealt to the Cowboys before the end of his second season. Legette averaged a middling 1.3 yards per route run as a rookie, ranked 134th in ESPN's receiver score and generated 104 receiving yards below what an average receiver would have done with the same targets in 2024, per NFL Next Gen Stats, the 17th-worst mark in the league. It's perfectly reasonable to be patient with Legette and see what he can do in 2025, but it's also realistic to point out that he wasn't an impact player as a rookie. His most notable moment was dropping what would have potentially been a winning touchdown reception to beat the eventual Super Bowl champion Eagles. The Panthers will hope McMillan makes more of an instant impact. It's clear they're attempting to build a bully-ball group of receivers by adding Mingo (6-foot-2, 220 pounds), Legette (6-3, 227 pounds) and Jalen Coker (6-3, 213 pounds), an undrafted free agent who arguably outplayed Legette last season. At 6-4, McMillan is another big target for Young. At Arizona, McMillan was consistently able to leverage that frame into making tough catches. His massive catch radius and ability to create after bringing in the ball would be huge pluses for the Carolina offense if they translate quickly to the pro level.   https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45318618/2025-nfl-offseason-nfc-teams-best-worst-deals-contracts-draft-picks-superlatives
