Raven's Crowd


Herbert The Love Bug

Recommended Posts

We are victims of geography. The QC has been a Mecca for every transplanted northerner from Buffalo to New Jersey. Both sides of my family have been in NC since the mid 1700s, however I go to Charlotte and people still ask me ..."That accent,...were are you from"?

I was at the 06 Panthers-Ravens game in Baltimore. My uncle was able to score us seats in the luxury box of Michael McCrary's parents but we had to sit in the stands for the first half. I felt the atmosphere was just fascinating. At one point the stadium was wobbling below my feet. I loved how we were taunted by the Ravens fans. Just verbal, not physical. Just a reminder that this was their house. A guy stared me down when they took an early lead.

I have felt the BofA upper deck wobble 1 time, but it wasn't a Panthers game. It was ACC game 2 yrs ago when my beloved Hokies beat FSU in the ACC championship. I have been to many Panthers games over the span of 16 yrs all in the Upper deck and have never felt it move like it did that night.

    • I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.
