Why is Jordan Gross our highest paid player?

Leader how? What has he led? I dont dispute he's a likeable guy in the locker room and a "company man" for the Panthers, but that doesnt necessarily equate to leadership.

Like it or not, he is a leader. He has been a very good player for the Panthers for a long time, and I promise you that players look up to him.

That said, his best playing days are behind him.

Much like DWill.

Zod called Gross the 'leader' because when doing the weekly Google Plus+ chats with James Anderson, he directly asked both Anderson and Byron Bell who the 'leader' of the team was, who they looked to when they were needing someone to step up and they both said Gross and Smith.

fwiw.

He shouldn't be our highest paid player. He sucks, and most the line needs to be replaced.

Whats sad is, Im the only one on this board with the heart to call him out. I havent seen any threads about his play this year outside of mine. There have been people in the past to point out his suckitude, but they get supressed FAST. Dudes are content to let him suck and cash checks, because they like him so much.

Now contrast that with how many threads our QB gets weekly (that call him out INDIVIDUALLY) about what he needs to work on or isnt doing.

It's how salaries work in pro sports. The Panthers have had players who made a little bit of money season after season, only to see their salary shoot up one particular season when other players' salaries are low and they have room.

Jon Beason is scheduled to make over 4 million more next season.

    • It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).   
    • Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️
    • It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
