So No More Panthers Pie?


Recommended Posts

yeah the repped post stuff isn't very effective.

it's interesting how a network of reputation-building can actually lend a personalized feel to a very impersonal web-based discussion. there are senses of friendship and camaraderie that actually build on the admittedly silly concept of "just a bunch of green internet dots." rep and pie add a greater sense of belonging in a community so that users are more than just a couple of avatars and opinions. there is a greater sense of involvement and holistic participation that i feel the huddle has lost just in the last couple of days.

and i hate using words like holistic.

my suggesting is everyone get a notepad and a pencil every time you get on the huddle and every time someone likes your post the quote it and say "pi" then you tally it down on your notepad. I just give myself mental pi on all of my posts and couldn't care less what others think. But I understand for some, an ego boost here or there is their whole reason for the Huddle.

there is also virtually no point to rep as it stands currently. there is no instantly calculable parallel between a good post and the advance in reputation. the numbers are simply too high, and the only way to access it is by viewing an individual profile and nobody is going to bother with that.

i always scoffed at the saints and falcons message boards because they had this same sort of generic personality. i'll still post here as this place has its collective fingers on the pulse of the panthers franchise and is a great source of information, but by fanaticism in checking for updates is starting to lean only towards getting those updates and less in enjoying aspects of participation.

i think i'm gonna go get a life instead

    • Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?
    • Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
