After the 2003 run we seen an offseason very much like this one. It was very quiet and even more now than then, we signed very few players.

The biggest difference now is our RB tandem, and that 2004 was injury plagued.

regardless, an offseason as quiet as this one no matter the reason does not have me too inspired.

Its not about faith, its about attitude.

I pray we deal Pep, have a good draft day, and then sign some guys after the post draft cuts to fill holes.

We need to get motivated and active, if not this offseason will pass us by and we will be left wanting.

I am sure we will do some of the aboved mentioned, its just terrible watching our hands being tied because of the Peppers situation.

Worse case what happens?

We CANT deal Pep, he stays and we are cash strapped to even sign our draft picks.

Its all or nothing this offseason, and thats a bad place for ANY team to be in.

worse case happens is we can't deal peppers and we have to extend Delhomme, and give extensions/restructures to Smitty and a couple of other vets. Sign one or two FA and get the draft class signed.

That is definetly the worst case. Not dealing Peppers will really hurt us in the draft. We rely heavily on the draft and waiting util 60th pick for our needs does not go in our favor. We could really use some extra picks in the first 3 rds.

Extending Jake...umm...no

Sorry for you, cause they'll be doing that soon. Probably regardless of what happens with peppers. He'll probably get a 3 year extension.

The off season isn't over yet. The Panthers could still pull out a huge trade and have an excellent draft and pick up some notable key FA's after the draft. Always have faith.

Just my opinion, but unless they're in desperate need of a linebacker, I don't see any team having an excellent draft. If we trade for high round picks at all, I hope they are next years'.

Worth noting is that the Cats' rookie salary pool will likely not be very much $$. They calculate it after the draft based on how many picks the team actually made. If the Cats stand pat at the 5 picks they have and since they don't have a first rounder, they won't be spending a bunch of cap on rookies.

But, but, what about national headlines, we want a big splash...

      Canales is holding us back

      I've seen enough tape review to see that we run crossers...we have dudes in the middle of the field. I have to think that this is a harder area for someone of Bryce's stature to hit. You have to see directly over the center of the line and is probably where the most interceptions happen (he has thrown a LOT of his picks by not seeing a dude in the middle of the field).

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      I’m pretty sure we did end up getting the first in that drive, but I don’t remember. It was obviously a catch the ball didn’t move

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By hepcat · Posted

      While I don't think NFL games are fully rigged, it's certainly closer to a scripted outcome than we all think. The NFL by their own admission in court is not a fair and balanced sporting event. It is a managed entertainment product, a "spectacle" as they've put it, that now has sports betting as a huge financial pillar of their business model. It's ridicuously naive to still think the NFL isn't using referees to manage the games towards certain outcomes, using "replays in the booth" and overturning calls, choosing to overlook penalties at critical moments and calling questionable and sometimes phantom game changing penalties at other critical junctures of games. The NFL has always done this going as far back as the '60s, and they were investigated by the FBI in the '70s which found a large number of ownership groups had ties to the mob. So when the overwhelming majority of the moneyline bets were on the Panthers vs the Saints last week, and suddenly we see some strange and ticky tack penalties we've rarely seen called on the Panthers all year, I just know there's more going on behind the scenes. And suddenly next week, the Panthers will probably be nudged to a win, to keep the NFC South race interesting, as I see the Bucs are the favorite as of now and most moneyline bets will trend towards the Bucs until during the game when the Bucs are leading heading into the 4th quarter, and the Panthers are nudged to a win. At least, that's what the NFL and Vegas probably want to happen.
