Team Report On Y!sports, Didn't Know That This Was Why..

Travelle Wharton was let go.. I'm not sure if this is true, but if he wouldn't take less money and left because of that. Hmmmm...

Because linebacker Thomas Davis was willing to give up some money, he got a chance to come back to the Carolina Panthers. Because left guard Travelle Wharton wouldn’t, he went on the market until being signed by Cincinnati.

Check it out right here.

I never knew that this was the main reason. Not sure what to think about it. Could it be he's not being a team player? It makes me wonder how much they actually wanted to pay him this year. Maybe he thought it was a slap to the face?

if we offered him less it wasn't a lowball, it was an offer paralleling his production. dude was a bottom ten pass blocking guard last season. in an air coryell system with a brand new franchise quarterback that's the last thing we need.

I hate he's gone, but it's a business first and foremost for these guys. Wharton felt he could acheive higher pay with another team and I have no problem with that. I wish him luck and hope he lands outside of our division. Given his age and cap number he was due a restructure or a chance to test his market.

Don't be so dramatic, it wasn't an emotional decision. Wharton is not worth what we would had to pay him. Knowing the Panthers, they offered him a fair deal, but probably not the best deal out there for a slightly below average player such as Wharton. But a slightly less than average Olineman is actually in demand by quite a few teams so I doubt the Panthers' offer was the bst on the table. Davis is a different story, no one would have offered Davis a better deal, maybe just different but it would be very highly incentive based just like ours is. Davis actually has a gateway to make A LOT of money if he reamins healthy and preforms.

WIth everything said it was a buisness decion, not an emotional decision. Wharton can do as he wishes, he serviced the Panthers decently and deserves to make his own decisions, I wouldn't call him out for not being a team players because of that. He was a team players his whole time here and he is a class act so I bet he'll be a huge team player up in Ohio as well.

Wasn't being over dramatic. It was a legit question. He probably thought we low balled him and decided to move on. You can't say it's an emotionless decision, especially if he was low balled. Either way he's gone, hope he does well. Wish he was still here to be honest.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By PootieNunu · Posted

      It's funny how the teams with the great QBs stay at or near the top of the league every season.  Yes it is a team game, but the QB has the biggest impact in most NFL football games.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By d-dave · Posted

      Look, no one is ever a perfect player.  Since the QB handles the ball on 100% of plays offensively (unless there's a direct snap to a RB or something), I can absolutely see where they get an outsized blame and gain from what happens at any given snap of a football game.   Theoretically, there shouldn't even be a stat or idea to a 4th quarter comeback or game winning drive because you should already have done that during the game.  Losers!  Right?  Just because you win late doesn't take away the fact you tried to lose the game for your team! I'm not a fan of that opinion, but again, I'm just a moron with a keyboard.   Bryce has limited tools.  Bryce has not inspired the same level of confidence in us as Cam Newton did in year 3.  I certainly get that.  We traded a TON of assets to get Bryce, and we still suck.  (I mean, since we've lost games, we're losers right?) I completely understand that some fans are just unhappy with a limited QB and a team that isn't performing well, unless the other teams are worse losers than we are. I will say this:  Bryce will fight until the end.  Sure, he's has some real loser football.   But in close games, he's doing his best to comeback (even against a winner of prevent D). Now is it better or worse if your QB plays their best ball in the first half and sucks 2nd half so long as they finish with 300 yards, 3 TDs for your fantasy points? Who said stats are for winners anyway?  The Panthers and Bryce has a long way to go.  I'm enjoying the winning right now.  Though I do start each game thinking "how will we fug this up today?" Because it's been such a poo show in the Tepper era.  Will he prove to be a legit starting NFL QB?  Maybe not here as evidence by our record with QBs who were high draft picks.

      Ive never liked the term game winning drives because they include games where the QB was part of or was the reason the team was behind in the first place. Ive been arguing against this stat since the Delhomme years. It should only count when the QB is out of the equation of reasons why the team fell behind in the first place and is at least half the reason why he led the last drive to give them a lead. It shouldnt count if they just hand it off most of the time and the RB is on fire and they go down and score a TD or FG.
