Foxsport's All-Overpaid, All-Underpaid Teams

Recommended Posts

Panthers make two appearances on the list:

All-Underpaid Offense:

Guard: Keydrick Vincent, Panthers

Vincent has started for three other teams (Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Arizona) but may have found a permanent home as Carolina's starting right guard after signing a modest two-year, $1.95 million contract during the off-season. The strength of Carolina's running game is to the right behind Vincent and rookie tackle Jeff Otah, who has benefited from the former's tutelage. Vincent received a $400,000 signing bonus from the Panthers and has a $785,000 base salary.

All-Overpaid offense:

Guard: Jeremy Bridges, Panthers

A journeyman backup, Bridges should be grateful for his $1.73 million salary for 2008. Bridges, though, placed his future with Carolina in jeopardy by getting arrested Saturday for the second time in 14 months after a nightclub incident. An NFL suspension also seems likely.

Dont get why Bridges is on the list. Yea yea hes a douche for getting arrested...again, but still hes filled in for some crucial games with Otah out. I would imagine that there are far more deserving O-Lineman in the league that should be on the list before him. Just does not make sense to me.

My man Keydrick Vincent on the other hand deserves to be on that list and then some. I remember when we first picked him up everyone thought it was gonna be Fonnoti, or Milford Brown, but not Key. Now look at him blastin open holes that are bigger than the gap between Strahans front teeth. Gotta love the guy.

They just put bridges on there because of the recent news, depth on the line is very valuable and we've needed his services many times this year and last

I just don't get it, if it's your job to do these kind of things why can't they get it right?

At least they should recruit local sportswriters like some sites do, that well it's always well informed and always based on reason

If you get into off-the-field incidents that cause you to miss multiple games in consecutive seasons, I'd consider that a very large negative. Didn't Bridges miss two games last year because of the bar incident? And now he's going to probably miss some games this year too. That's huge. You pay a guy nearly $2 million dollars and he misses 1/8 of the year because of legal issues. If any of us did that we'd get fired from our jobs.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
