I just don't get why everyone is using this as a reflection on Hurney, pro or con.

There is no doubt in my mind that interest in Tolbert was driven by Chud and RR.

Don't like the signing? Then b!tch about Rivera or Chud...Hurney is just getting them what they asked for.

yeah, I am sure this has nothing to do with Hurney trying to lessen the blow when the Williams contract screws up Double Trouble after this year and they split.

Even though he's a bigger back, he's still fast and quick as hell. He's very much a scat back who excels at catching passes out of the backfield. 109 catches though 4 years and 54 of them were last season.

I was thinking if we are looking to trade Stewart, Cincinnati could be a team interested. They could give us #22 overall, they need a running back and they would have enough money to resign him.

they wouldn't give us the 22nd pick for him and Stewart would have to be willing to sign long term with them.

Before all you homers lose your minds, I know, too late. How many of you guys had ever heard of Tolbert before today? How many of you looked him up on youtube to get acquainted? How many remember all the highlights of the "human bowling ball" on sportscenter?

all I am saying is that we should not yell "championship" just because we picked up a big FA who has great measurables. He will be a role player here.

Just keep your emotions in check a bit. I hope he comes in and fills his role by helping convert on 4th downs, goal lines, etc. But I do not expect him to cover sportscenter every Sunday evening. Pittsburgh remember, is in dire need and they said no thanks. Hope he and Rivera can find a "sweet spot" so he can shine.

Contract details..

Here’s a little more evidence that the Carolina Panthers really are planning on using Mike Tolbert at fullback.

They’re paying him like a fullback, not a tailback. I just got full contract details on the deal Tolbert signed Monday and it’s pretty obvious he’s getting paid more like a fullback, who probably also will play some H-back, than a tailback.

Tolbert got a four-year deal worth $10 million. That’s an average of $2.5 million per year. That’s classic fullback money. I just looked back at fullback salaries from 2011. Only six fullbacks averaged more per season than Tolbert will average in this deal. Top tailbacks make much more than that and some backups are well over $2.5 million.

Here’s the breakdown on Tolbert’s deal. He got a $2 million signing bonus and will make $700,000 in base salary this year. He also can earn a $25,000 bonus for taking part in the team’s offseason workout program.

In 2013, Tolbert’s scheduled to receive a $1.5 million option bonus, a $1 million base salary and a $25,000 workout bonus. In 2014, his base salary rises to $2.3 million. In 2015, it rises to $2.4 million. Tolbert also has a $25,000 workout bonus in each of the final two seasons of the deal.

      Derek Carr Retires

      D Carr must have really disliked the saints to wait and do this announcement after the draft has passed if he made this call a few weeks before the draft sure they would have approached it and the offseason differently.  oh well will be interesting to see how their qbs perform.  would love to see them roll with Thill and just make the whole offense towards his skillset.  Although sadly would be only playing in about half the games with how often he gets injured.

      I have to say it's quite fascinating seeing you pivot from months and months of wailing and agonizing about threads derailing into Bryce Young slingfests only for you to turn around and do the same thing. And just for the record. Nobody in life ever attained wisdom and clarity from mistakes by having people blindly fawn over them and tell them they are above reproach and incapable of making mistakes. Our front office is just as human as we are. And based on the fact that front offices across the league outside of a handful of teams change on a fairly regular basis it's safe to say they are certainly no more infallible than the average Joe even though they possess significantly more knowledge usually. If you want a utopia where all you do is shine shoes for anyone associated with the Panthers you go right on ahead and create yourself a new community sir. More power to you.

      I trust Morgan when it comes to LBs so I think Wallace will do well.
