Has Victor Cruz Panned Out?

I remember when I brought this up in 2010 and I was ridiculed and treated like I didn't know what I was talking about. I was waiting to post this because I am an avid Carolina Panthers fan and I want all of the ones that act like I was out of line, check out this thread in response to my view on Victor Cruz over Armanti Edwards:

Me personally I would feel better about the article had the panthers used the Armati Edwards pick on Victor Cruz the undrafted receiver for the Giants. That is so sickening plus how we had a chance to get the other Steve Smith and bummed on that one too. The wr scouts for the panthers suck.

Victor Cruz is the best preseason WR since Paris Warren.

Damn those WR scouts and their inability to build a time machine!

Also I'm pretty sure every single team in the league passed over Cruz well over 200 times.

Cruz also muffed a punt.

Oh and he's been beasting against 2nd/3rd stringers.

I think your rushing your judgments a little.

I see, you are frustrated with the Edwards pick too, except you say we should have picked Cruz! Thanks for telling us this because it really sets you apart from the ones who wanted to draft Tate, or Gilyard, etc.......

They just don't want you to get ahead of yourself. Let it play out a little. Cruz was awesome, but admittedly against guys who probably won't be in the league much longer.

Also, Edwards and Cruz cannot be compared as one has been playing WR for the past couple of years while the other hasn't.

It's well known that the Great Steve Smith runs a sub-4 second 40.

A UDFA who played lights out in one preseason game and since it was a MNF game he is now the second coming of Steve Smith.

I think that probably matters to some degree. I also think it is why no coaches really stress anything but the 3rd game in terms of the results they are looking for. In the first two games that are probably look at stuff we aren't even thinking about.

Now after 1 superbowl and an integral part of their offense, can I get an "I'm sorry"?

Vindication thread FTW!!

Oh, how you have waited for your moment.

Better now than after they miss the playoffs.

Personally I don't care whether they the Giants miss the playoffs or not, I am just tired of the Panthers not making it. You are barking up the wrong tree, plus the PSL owners feel similar as I do.

Just because you were right doesn't mean you weren't rushing your judgement. No one laughed at you. We just all said you need to calm down and let things play out.

I won't bother the 500 other threads proclaiming some guy who did well in preseason to be the Messiah who is no longer in the league.

You nailed that one too.

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.

      Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
