I think Mike Florio is right about everything he says here.

first...not a fan of mark "let's see what poo we can throw at the wall and still be more right than than schefter" florio or his beloved PulledFromTurd.

but.... he is right that we have waaaaayyyyy too much money wrapped up in RB and we should move on from both of them because their production would be easily replaced with cheaper options. i don't like the idea of getting rid of both of them at the same time, but i don't think it would be catastrophic, esp. long term. that's a lot of money that could be spent making the team at the very least more balanced and well rounded and would make it easier to pay cam what he's likely going to cost to re-sign. i love double trouble, but not at the expense of the panthers big picture.

he was pretty much way off base on why there was trouble with cam early on last year. he said that the problem was they didn't account for the changes that defenses would make in trying to stop him, but the truth was chud overcompensated and it wasn't until they changed things back to the way they were the previous year that things started looking productive.

totally agreed about us needed to focus on bringing in more talent at WR. we need more. simple and plain. what we have isn't enough to make us dominant, esp. when smitty falls apart. it needs addressed sooner rather than later.

mixed feelings about gamble, but maybe he's right that we should try and make him settle for less here, esp. when he considers that he's not going to be getting paid anywhere close to what he's supposed to be getting paid here next year. this is going to be a buyers market because of the flood of very good players getting released due to cap issues so players will be getting paid much less than what they expect. gamble is going to fall right into that situation.

i hate agreeing with florio about anything, but a couple of those pieces of poo he flung are sticking, imo.

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!

      Well, if they know Tepper wants to keep Bryce there is an an implied safety net there in case he fails. A possibility that he will be empathetic and •maybe• not fire them.  If they go against that and bring in someone else and that fails they are in a much worse spot.  IMO.  And another factor may be that after all those years of instability and musical chairs pre Bryce there will likely be a feeling of security in knowing what they have.   Kind of like settling just to keep from going through the process all over again.     IOW I think he really needs to fug up bad to lose his job and change our course.
