Further proof that Beason is the type of leader we need

Because it's not the same for the veterans anymore. The NFL doesn't need us. In this NFL, the old vets don't factor in. The kids don't listen to nobody. Nobody!

When I saw this, the first thing that flashed in my mind was a quote (and I can't seem to find it) from Beason from one of the first team activities. A reporter asked him what this defense would be like without Peppers, and his eyes got wide and he just said "Young."

A very different perspective on the power of the veteran than what is found in that article.

Buc was kind of talking about this today on the radio, though I think it was in the context of the NBA. So much emphasis is place on speed and athleticism that kids coming into the league think that's what it's all about. The flashy players get paid but the solid, smart players win games. Sadly, there's probably nothing that can change it other than the fans just not liking great athletes.

Some starting LB will go down in Camp and the D. Brooks cell phone will be ringing constantly.

Sad thing is the know-it-alls, DON'T. B. Ruud had the idea but he is a minority.

Look what Vinny Testeverde did for D. Williams. Though two seperate positions Vinny was able to teach D. Will how to prepare who now is showing J. Stewart.

This is the main reason why a rookie salary cap is needed. All the money is going to the unproven guys, while players you know can still get it done are at home until they are needed. If the NFL really cares about their vets they will get something done. So the vets like Brooks can play until they feel they can't anymore. And yet the Favres of the world get slurped on year after year. :confused: Who would you want on your team right now? I'd take a class act like Brooks any day!

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By poorboysrev · Posted

      Right...I think they've done really well. No one's going to bat 1000% but they've addressed areas of need and there's no comparison to the overall talent of the team now than when DC and then Morgan got the reigns. This whole season is about seeing how much of a step up can Bryce and this team make. If Bryce can't and last year is as good as it gets for him then at least we have a talented roster for the next guy. I think we're going to be good this season

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.

      IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st.
