no Cutler in Pantherland. They are reaching for a story and are just mixing inthe obvious. It makes sense on the surface that we would be interested since we have an all pro defender that we cannot deal and we have a poor QB and that is all a reporter on the 4-letter needs to mention it as a possibility.

Carolina will not make a play. They cannot do anything even if they wanted too.

Peter King is a joke of a journalist and by no means a "reliable media source for the NFL." I'm not saying this because it is my opinion. King is an opinion columnist. He does not nor never has presented himself as an "insider". Everything he puts out is purely opinion based. Jay Glazer, Mort, Scheftner, hell even the crept keeper are insiders but King is not.

Please note that I'm not saying that his information is wrong. It very well could be correct but if it is he got the information from one of the guys I listed above. That's what King does.

You guys clearly don't get it. There is a secret number of threads that need to be created before a wish comes true. I think the number is somewhere around 1,486 different threads.

Right now, we are getting destroyed by the Bucs, so it looks like he will be in Tampa. Poor Lions, they don't have enough fans to create enough threads.

Peter King, the most reputable media source for the NFL had the following to say:

"Other teams are likely to be interested, including Cleveland, Minnesota, San Francisco and possibly Carolina. It's a virtual certainty that the Bucs and Jets, both without a bonafide No. 1 quarterback entering the draft, will bid aggressively for Cutler."

:shocked: :lol:

he is speculating...reaching.

he used the phrase "likely to be interested" for several teams and then had to add the "possibly" tag to carolina.

it's all an assumption based on nothing but a hunch that he has.

writing junk like that doesn't make you reputable. it makes you just another talking head trying to throw crap on the wall to see if it sticks.

By a mile.

Regardless, the mention of Carolina in here is just thrown-in speculation, not based on any actual contact. Heck, you could make an argument for Cincinnati being interested because they have a franchise type QB they could swap in Carson Palmer, but could choose to go with Cutler instead since he's younger and doesn't have an injury history (diabetes isn't an injury).

Bottom Line though, a lot of national guys concentrate only on the larger stories. That's why I prefer local beat writers for inside info.

Add in that national guys can be prone to speculation that some without discernment are unable to distinguish from actual "inside info". Witness Chris Mortensen's 2006 suggestion that the Panthers were likely to dump Jake Delhomme and draft a QB in the first round next year. Also John Clayton biting hard on Marty Hurney's bluffs about trading up for Matt Ryan. People jumped all over those too, but the local guys knew better.

(heck, even some of us knew better than that)

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
