Panthers Sign.....anyone?


Anybodyhome

If you make $30K/year, what is the point of spending half a tank of gas to go look at BMW's you could never, ever, afford?

Yeah, probably went like this:

Ring ring

Mario Williams: Hello. This is Mario looking for at least 17 Mill a year Williams speaking.

Hurney: Hey Mario, this is Marty Hurney of the 6.5 million over the cap Carolina Panthers.

Hurney: Hello? Hello?......................

I just wish they would at least call Mario in for a courtesy visit. Let us know the front office are at least thinking championship thoughts.
really?

Ya would rather be teased?

God, i love this fan base.

Personnaly, i don't care if they sign a big name or not.

With us as close to the cap as we are, i'd rather they get quality role players, and be in a better cap situation when the cap goes up.

This team is growing, and no 1 or two FA is going to make this the best panther squad ever.

Let the front office do their job. Cast opinions after the fact, good or bad.

bringing in Mario Williams wouldn't tell me that the FO is thinking championship thoughts.

it would tell me that they are incompetent and can't add.

If you think everyone is overpaid maybe you just have no concept of how much they get paid.

i dont think everyone is overpaid. i think everyone who has been signed so far has been overpaid.

brandon carr? an average corner, 10 mil a year.

vincent jackson? maybe a top 10 receiver, MAYBE, 11 mil a year.

thats the kind of money u dole out to superstars. the only guy who has the play to back up his pay is nicks. and even then ur giving up 10 million to the least important position on the oline.

its not hard to figure all this out, we know the cap is around 130 million, so how is it hard to understand that spending 1/13 of ur cap space on an average player is probably overpaying them?

If you don't think some of these guys are getting overpaid you're clueless. YES, the market has driven the price for some of these guys. (ie DJax, Finnegan, Carr, Carl Nicks-- just to name a few).

Guys like Pierre Garcon, John Carlson, and Laurent Robinson (just to name a few) flat out ROBBED their respective teams.

There will be talented guys available at reasonable deals, but for some reason if we don't open our checkbooks right away people get pissed. We don't operate like that, its simple.

    • Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.  
    • I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......  
    • Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
