Hey my name is random panther fan. How dare hurney sign deangelo to the contract he earned. He should have never given him that money because how dare players on our team believe they will be justly rewarded for thier talents. Look at the dynasty the bears gm created for proof!!!

He tried to trade up to get pickles..... Tried ..... To ...... Trade...... UP. Thank god no one did took our offer!

Panther fans: We're upset because you have never tried to improve the QB position in the entire time you have been here.

Hurney: Let's resolve this by getting the #2 prospect in the draft when we can.

*Clausen doesn't live up to billing*

Panther fans: Clausen sucks, why were you trying to trade up for a QB?

Hurney: QB is the most important position on the field and we know moving forward we are going to need a good one.

*Pre 2011 draft*

Panther fans: Don't draft Newton whatever you do, he's the next Jamarcus Russell. Draft Patrick Peterson or we're getting rid of our PSLs and becoming Saints fans.

You lot are a bunch of hypocrites.

Ummmm. In the NFL you are paid according to what you can do going forward. Not what you have done in the past.

Obviously Hurney goes by your rules. See: Jake Delhomme and Deangelo Williams.

For the vast majority of players, their second contract is where they hit paydirt. Rookie deals are based on draft position. That second one however, is based on both track record, and projected future performances.

The Panthers reward their productive players. Always have, and probably always will. Certain restrictions apply.

D-Will pretty much got fair market vallue. I see it as money well spent. Players may see it as incentive to improve. And others see it as cap mismanagement.

Build through the draft. Keep your core. Grab a few selective FAs, and you are following the rules.

Good players get good money. I like having good players on my team.

Just a few thoughts. And GOOOOO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Must I bring up a simple question to prove my point?

Why were we not drafting till the 2nd round that year?

one simple question, do you remember why there was a sudden need to have back to back winning seasons and make the playoffs?

    • What's up gents, the OGs remember me, the guy who single-handedly gave the Panthers the greatest uniform in history moniker. Not too long after that I got involved with Pro Football Focus (pre-Collinsworth acquisition) and ended up taking backseat here to preserve some objectivity. But from a distance I noticed a lot. After the end of the Cam era this place devolved into the most un-fun, petty, negative cesspool of whining and bitching that has ever graced the internet. The worst part of it all is that the level of discussion turned into the most ill-informed, hot-take, unnuanced crap, rife with people talking out of their posteriors as if they have any clue about what they are watching. Once you get into the professional side of the sport and actual film rooms, you start to understand there's an absurd number of moving parts to pretty much every snap and the details you are privy to are truly only half the picture. The absolute most important thing I learned from being part of professional level football analysis is that quarterbacking is literally the most intricate and difficult position in all of professional sports, and that the NFL itself is struggling to develop any workable model that allows them to understand what makes one succeed vs what makes one fail. Because of this paradox it has also made the quarterback position itself grossly overvalued from a fan and media standpoint, creating an absurd fixation on the results delivered by a single player who has to rely on the contributions of everyone around them. This also drives the dreaded inflation of QB salaries that inevitably cause even elite teams to lose key talent all to pour cash into the one player supposed to be able to single-handedly elevate the entire team (and defense and special teams and coaching and ownership by some mysterious proxy), yet without those same players even talented teams can wander the wilderness searching for the right guy to take advantage of their talent window. The discussions the last few years around Bryce has personified this insanity, as this board has devolved into some sort of electronic civil war between the hyperbolic Young supporters and the vitriolic Bryce haters. The reality, like practically everything in this world, is somewhere in the middle. He has traits that can absolutely elevate a team with creativity, play recognition, off-arm angle throws, mental toughness, etc. He's also physically limited, with mostly "good-enough" qualities for most situations that a professional quarterback is asked to do, and will never be an overpowering physical force like pre-injury Cam. But "good-enough" physicality represents a large majority of championship-winning quarterbacks, even in the modern era. There's a reason the corpse of Peyton Manning took the chip from elite physical specimen Cam, because the team surrounding him was talented enough to get him there, while we all know Cam was the driving force of that 2015 team. That's no knock on him, that's just how the game of football tends to work: the more complete team usually wins. The summary is this: if this team lives or dies solely on the performance of its quarterback, then it is absolutely a paper tiger even if he plays brilliantly week in and out. There are no superheroes in this sport, there are only conduits that proxy the collective efforts of much of the team around them. And no one alive can tell you how the position is played perfectly, it's all a confluence of circumstance and what unique collection of traits each player brings to the position, which can never be truly recreated season after season, even for the same player on the same team. If this place remains a raging hellscape of idiotic hot takes I will happily remove myself again and do something more productive for yet another decade, but maybe's there hope that we can all get back to the old adage, and keep pounding.
