Breaking down Jonathan Stewart's deal

I look at it like this. NO had what appeared to be zero cap room and still managed to retain most of their talent AND sign Brees to a record deal. According to that article we may only have 18 guys in that scenario, but they are all starters and HUGE pieces to what RR is trying to build. They will restructure whomever needs to be restructured, cut dead weight and money, and pick up ancillary pieces on the cheap, just as they've done for 17 years. Hell, as recently as this year there was a major panic because we were somehow like $6MM over the cap, and not only managed to get under it, but got $8MM under it and resigned Stewart, whom most on here thought was 100% going to be gone due to the Williams deal. That's why I don't stress it until its time to stress it. Not because I'm a "Hurney Magikz!!1!!1" guy, but because things seem to work themselves out financially for this team for as long as I've been a fan of it.

And I do think we will find a way to sign Cam. I just don't know how we will ever be able to make any significant upgrades on defense with all our money tied up on the other side of the ball. We better hit on defensive draft picks from here on out.

I doubt Cam will care that a team wanting to pay him long term doesn't have the means to signficantly address trying to build a championship caliber roster quickly around him. This isn't my first BBQ, what will seal the deal is Cam knowing we can run the ever living poo out of the football here.

lol you act like questioning the front office affects my whole life. This a fan board....where you talk about the team. Just because I say I think they are screwing up doesn't mean I'm in panic mode or my whole life is going down the drain. If you let things like this bring you down, you have issues. But questioning something is completely normal.

you can question without worrying or stressing over it.

you threw out that blanket "if you aren't worried, you're an idiot" stuff. i just threw it back.

I disagree with that. Cam doesn't take losing very lightly. If we aren't a contending team, I could see a scenario with him wanting to leave.

Is it being an idiot to have an opinion about it?

did i say anything about having an opinion about it?

did i say anything about not questioning the management?

a big nope on that.

dude said that if you aren't worried about it then you're an idiot. i disagree. like i said, worrying about things you have no control over is more idiotic.

I think that post you were responding to was sarcastic. Implying why Cam would want to be on a team that didn't have a great supporting cast to win in this league.

Tell me, how have those 17 years gone for us?

I'm not trying to be a dick. I'm just tired of the same old thing. Yes, we can restructure these deals. But the bad contracts still put us in bad situations. It's like we're fighting to keep our head above the water every year.

The cap numbers are high, sure.

But do people honestly think JR and Hurney are dumb enough to hand out contracts like its Madden, without having any kind of plan/knowledge of what they're going to do a year or two from now and beyond? Call me a dreamer, but I'm thinking they're going to make the cap space to sign Cam and all the key pieces of the team.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Bama Panther · Posted

      It was absolutely a catch, and I can’t believe how many folks were stating, before the NFL’s apology, that the overturn was the right call.  The ultimate question in this case is this: can a player complete a catch with only one hand? Of course, we all know the answer to that question, and it is an emphatic “Yes.” T-Mac maintained complete control with one hand (believe it was the right) while the other came off when the ball hit the ground. The ball was in the same position in the one hand (watch T-Mac’s fingers in relation to the NFL shield on the ball) after touching the ground as it was when it first went to the ground. Going back to the question above, if one hand can establish control, then there was no need for the other to stay on the ball, so long as the ball doesn’t move in that one hand that stays on it   It blew my mind that they overturned this in the first place. This should not be a “We got it wrong on the replay because there wasn’t clear and convincing evidence.” This should have been, “That was absolutely a catch.”

      Sign him up. I am willing to bet he wouldn't finish a game with -2 yards.

      Why Panthers’ Dave Canales won’t run a QB sneak with Bryce Young

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      He is just fuging limited in every way.  On one hand, and nfl player, you would want to bulk them up so long as it doesn’t limit their mobility, elasticity, flexibility, ROM, or dynamicism - as is the concern with bulking up.  But the issue with that is, you would be worried about that when a guy has those traits to begin with.  Bryce is a very average athlete with a weak arm.  So if you’re not gonna be a great athlete with a strong arm, bulk up.  And if you can’t or won’t bulk up, find another fuging profession that doesn’t require athleticism and arm strength.  You’re built like a bitch AND aren’t a great athlete - you can’t be subpar in both categories…  well, unless you play for the Panthers apparently.
