splash, no. signing players who 90% of us have never heard of, that we look up on wikipedia and find a highlight or two and subsequently overrate their potential and then shrug when 2/3rds of them are cut at the end of training camp, probably.

Where was the money when the Redskins signed every big name FA out there?

If a team wants to sign players and pay them whatever they can make it happen. It's just a maker of doing it and then dealing having to deal the consequences down the road. The good GM, and Hurney has been good at this, can balance this out to where those future cuts are already planned for.

I actually have a sneaking feeling that the Panthers might make a run for and sign Mario Williams. Hurney has never had a problem with paying as many as 3 dlineman big contracts and right now only C Johnson has one so...

Nope. The Panthers' MO has always to retain their own players first. Signing FA's are like a luxury to them. I think there's gonna be a big cut soon, someone like Davis or Otah. It's not that I wanna see them leave, but we're already over the cap. Someone's at least getting a big pay cut. At the very most, we sign someone like Garay who we can get for cheap.

The way it looks to me is there is a couple of free agents out there that actually want to come in and be part of Super Bowl Contender Team. Mario might like a 1st super bowl trophy.

Winners like winning and I fully believe there's a lot of folks believe The Panthers gonna be winning a lot. Money is great but when you got plenty, Fun trumps it every time and winning is FUN!!!!! So I won't be surprised if some folks want to join us in having Fun.

I just want to sit back and watch!!!!

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
