Unneeded Players

I know there is constant reasons everyone wants to keep AE,Adams, Clausen, Fua, Pilares and Nakamura.  These guys are mistakes.  While we might not recover any money I don't believe any of them had guaranteed money.  If they did it wasn't much and worth letting go.

 

We have far too much talent on this team to keep players that are going to be jerseyless come game day. 

 

We got lucky with Gaydosh, White and Lester.  These could be huge UDFA pick ups.  Depth that could really help us in the future. 

 

While AE might be a keeper FINALLY the others have been nothing but a huge disappointment.  Would you rather hold onto a player that is never going to be anything but a one play per game player.  Maybe one play. 

 

You do a good job drafting.  Someone has to go.  If I have a good UDFA rookie and a marginal 2nd year guy and I have one position.   That one year goes out the door. 

 

Clausen is a mistake..  He didn't even dress at all in the past two seasons. 

AE and Adams, we brought in others that play their position (Sadly we'll keep one of these guys)

Fua should see the writing on the wall.  In 2011 you gave the guy a break cause he was a rookie.  Last year he was a liability.  From all I have heard Gaydosh might be the steal of the UFDA market. (then again this is shorts....got it)

Pilares, is one of those players I really like but I just don't see us keeping him. There are better players. 

And Finally Nakamura.. just a terrible signing.  I just dont see it.

 

What it boils down to me is we draft Best Player Available shouldn't we fill the latter part of our roster the same way?

It isn't just the best player but the best player at the best price for the position we are trying to fill.  AE is here because he is cheap at 880,000 if we keep him and if we cut him it will cost us 188,000 in dead cap space.  Still if we do cut him we save 700,000 in cap space. Which should be close to enough to sign whoever we will replace him with.  If we ends up being the 5th best receiver then we should keep him for this year.  But in order to get another contract he needs to show that he can make the catches and do the job and deserve to still be here.  Something he hasn't shown to this point.  But this is the time of the year when everything is lovely and we are filled with possibility instead of inevitability, hope reigns and we are afforded the luxury of optimism.  I am hopeful that this is the year for a lot of players and coaches to show up and fulfill their promise.  

 

 

 

 

Lets see how that works out.....

If the release of McClain last year taught us anything, it's that no player is safe, drafted or not. Especially with a new GM, these guys have to perform ad show what they have to earn a spot. Sorry Joe Adams. And I had such high hopes for the kid because I got drunk off of his legendary play against Ten...

I would def like to drop one to keep gaydosh or other d-lineman, with the defensive rotation we are goin with, you kno he will get on the field and get a chance to contribute. Where as white and Lester won't get as many chances. But then again I say, I trust gett. Man, it feels good to say that and mean it.

Not saying i agree or disagree...but if you put Pilares on a list why keep Gettis off it?

In realize Gettis has the super fan club....but while he has speed I would argue Pilares is more diverse of a player

For me, there are a few players down on the depth chart that i really think could be good players. I would really want the panthers to keep them, knowing that they probably wouldnt play much.

The thing is, I also would like to see them go to another team, just to get a shot at maybe being a starter. If ya really like a player and he gets cut, try and look at it from the perspective of that player will be able to seek the best fit and ultimatly have the opertunity become as sucessful as you would have hoped here.

People flame Pickles, but I would like to see him with another shot. After all, he was a rookie, with no talent around him, with a staff that had their bags packed. Dont get me wrong, Pickles oportunity here is long gone and i think Cam is an absolute beast, but there is still an itch in me that wants Pickles to show his many many naysayers whats up.

I agree with you on Pilares, but as versatile as he is, when hav we actually used him? If we are not gonna put him on the field, then why not keep someone we will use? We should try to get the most out of our personnel. But I totally agree, Pilares can be an asset.......if we USE him.

Pilares was starting to see the field quite a bit until he got hurt.

On offense? I kno he was getting looks at returner and doing great. I WANT to keep him anyway, I hav been a fan of him since he came in. And like mentioned earlier he is really diverse. Its not just Pilares I'm talking about. If we are not gonna work them in our game plans and get them on the field, why keep them? Bring in someone you will put on field. Get all you can out of each roster spot.

      I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
