he came into the restaurant i work at.   i mentioned that i hope he doesnt leave the panthers next season and he said that there isnt anything to worry about.   i said i hope he gets his 50 sacks and he said he was going to try his best. i mentioned how i was excited about our additions to the d-line and  he said star is a beast and he also said he would sack brees for me. he is a genuinely friendly laid-back guy.

Jimmy Clausen absolutely sucks ass as a QB, but I don't get jokes like working at a gas station.

He's making more money than most of us can ever dream of and he doesn't even have to dress for games. Not to mention, isn't his family already pretty wealthy to begin with too? Doubt blue collar is in his future.

sounds like you bugged the hell out of him

 

 

not at all. he was more than happy to have a conversation with me.  i can tell when an athlete is annoyed , as ive dealt with many of them.  considering i was his waiter and he stayed for an hour, i wouldnt say a 2 minute conversation is bugging someone. especially for a guy who appreciates his fan base like him.  i really doubt many people even recognize him out in public.  no one else approached him while he was there and his more than generous tip also leads me to believe i did not offend him.

    • I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.
