Is Hoover planing to retire....

I am finding really interesting that Panthers invested a 4 round pick on a FB, it is about time but I think they are not thinking to slip him practice squad.

I don't think they can slip new FB (Fiammeta) or Goodson to practice squad, 4th picks are little bit too dangerous for that...

So what I am asking to myself is Hoover plaining to retire during the training camp or before, like Minter....

If this is not the cas,e I don't know how we can keep Fiametta and Goodson, may be Dante Rosario's problem is serious then we know but to cut him or place in IR would be sad also...

Goodson could wind up with a "mysterious injury" and get stashed on IR. I don't think he would stick on the PS, someone would ****** him I bet. Fiammetta would be the Goings replacement guy this year (as I and others have proposed), hence no reason for Hoov to go anywhere.

i hate to say it, but hoooooooov could be cut this year....

just the business of the nfl.

that would put; williams/stewart/goodson (rb's) fiammeta/lee (fb's)

Yeah, doubtful Hoov will have the choice to retire, rather cut. Players like Hoov and Jason Kyle have a large cap number due to tenure in the NFL. Another reason their should be a rookie cap and more money for the Vets.

Ehhh....Hoov dropped a few key passes, true. But he caught some as well. That's not that big a deal to me when I look at his overall value. The guy is a HOSS blocker, and when you have only one TE who can block decently (King) you need that hoss in the run game. When possible, and performance warrants it it's always nice to have the old guard and new guard overlap for a year while the new guard is brought up to speed.

ohh i agree! but considering the talent on the team we dont have "extra space" just for players to learn under vet's without expecting them to contribute...

agreed 100%

we can't afford to be without hoov at least this coming year. he is far too valuable as a blocker.

if you read some of what has been going on at minicamp and comparing hoov to PTF, hoov has a lot to show the new guy and i really want him to go next year under hoov's wing.

when hoover retires it is going to be a sad day. fortunately i don't see it happening this year, next year? it could happen but he has a lot more he could do. no way is he going to be cut, though. that would be monumentally dumb.

No, I talked to Brad for about 5 minutes yesterday after Mini camp and he says he has 2-3 good years left in him. He likes the addition of Fiametta and hopes they have a chance to be on the field together some.

thanks for that. i thkn he has that much in him as well.

the idea of the two of them on the field at the same time blocking for williams/stewart? :eek::eek:

Good to hear JOAT, thanks! I know he usually evaluates year to year from what he has been quoted as saying before. I don't think I have ever heard him say he had 2-3 years left in him recently. Imagine the Philly formation with him and Fiammetta blocking for Williams and Stewart!??!??! YUM!

I could see them using both as a big back set on goalline and 3rd and shorts. If you ran a jumbo package you could use both FB's and Stewart.

I had some observations from yesterday...but it doesn't look like they posted...I did it from my Iphone so I don't know if that had anything to do with it.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
