Now Do Yall Believe My Sorenson Coked Up Story? ...


Gucci Mane

Recommended Posts

First, let me say this:  I hated the Armanti pick.  It put me on suicide watch. 

 

Suggestion:  If we draft a player after the second round, quit expecting instant results.  Gettlemen drafted for 2013 on day 1 and 2, but day 3 was all about 2014 and beyond.  Support the developmental players.  This is his season to show he made the transition. 

 

What I do not understand is this:  Some people call themselves Panther fans and bash the young developing players as if they know something about football.  We have had players who we brought along slowly and they developed into starters:  Hardy (6th round), Johnson (3rd round),  Anderson (3rd round), Munnerlyn (7th round), Hangartner (5th round), for example. 

 

What Panther fan does not want a WR to step up?  Then how in the hell can you bash a young player for making a catch at practice?  What if he has finally made the transition to WR and is ready to beast? 

 

And another "expert" bashed Norman.  Yes, he struggled last year.  Let's see.... a fifth round rookie from a small school playing against Brandon Marshall, Julio Jones, Vincent Jackson, and Hakeem Nicks.  What the hell did you expect?  Give the kid a chance to learn.  He was set up to fail, and he did.  How clever of some of you to notice.

 

I just do not get how you buy jerseys and tickets and foam fingers and join Panther boards and do nothing but trash the team's young talent. 

 

This is the only fan base in professional sports that so gleefully root against individual players on "their" team.

It might just be me, but I feel like Armanti is our version of Teebow (trying to avoid word replace, lol). "Just put him in, all his does is win".

Totally. During the midst of the Teebow controversy we had an Armant hate thread and I made the same observation.

A compelling player with talent, but not NFL talent, but talent nonetheless, a great likeable guy, great work ethic, college superstar.

Yet extremely devicice. Half the folks love him for what he did in the past, half the folks hate him because he doesn't belong where he is.

Our very own small market Teebow. We should be proud......or ashamed.

What the many of those here dont get is that great wideouts, or players in general, arent born. . .  theyre made.

 

Of course its possible that Armanti turns out to be a player, its also some percentage that he will fail. People are so quick to say "welp, he's got about a 2% chance" when its more like 20 or 30 or possibly much higher. He's already at the show, anything can happen now if he's working and preparing himself everyday. . . anything. I hate mentioning it because Im mildly superstitious but injuries, random off field incidents, family problems can shift the order of our line up just as much as players performance on field.

lol 20 or 30%

Didn't realize that armanti still had believers. He's an offseason playmaker just like Colbert was. The guy is not NFL material. Maybe he can carve out a nice career in arena football or the CFL. He should drop out of the big leagues while he's still young

The thing that sours me on Armanti is that Hurney traded up to get him, but probably didn't have to.  I know that isn't Edwards fault, but still it irritates me that we gave up future picks for a guy who hasn't produced yet.  Plus when he started out as a punt returner, he was mediocre at best.

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
