But seriously, CatMan72 brings up a point to ponder upon.  If their free fall continues over the next 2 weeks and da GEE-MEN's (said with the same cadence as "dez nuts") season becomes a dumpster fire, I wonder what it would take to get a sign and trade for good ole Nicks.

Cheap depth. My guess is he's only here because he already knows the scheme. Fua is a goner sooner than later (hopefully after Dwan is fully healed). That said, don't be surprised to see some of our preseason cuts return if we suffer anymore injuries.

He just sucks so bad. Virtually every decent run we give up is through a gap he was SUPPOSED to fill. It's almost comical.

Meh, he hasn't proven much yet. He has Hurney magic'd a lot of stuff. If Hurney had been retained he would have done some of the same stuff.

Hurney would have traded Beason under these circumstances as well.....I don't see why we would believe he wouldn't have.

Let's see how he handles Hardy and others....he hasn't shown his cards in regards to what really made Hurney a bad GM.

 

I think he at least gave a sneak peek at his cards when he played hardball with Captain.  Hurney would have paid him average starting CB money.  Gettleman made his sweat a bit and made him take backup money.

It's refreshing the Panthers are serious about putting the best team on the field.

Only one player on this roster would I oblige even if he wasn't still at his peek so he could retire a Panther.

Agree with Smitty love. The man is the Panther's GOAT. No questions, no doubts.

 

But just saying, Cam spreads the ball around much better when he's not in the game.

I mean seriously! Every time the opposing team breaks a good run or a big play, I look to see who was in at DT. And 90+ percent of the time, FUA is in the game. Even if it isn't directly his fault. His mere presense make the team worse.

Fua has seen 9% of the total defensive snaps and they all came in the Giants game.

Fua is still here...

 

My guess: Probably just till Dwan Edwards is healthy.

 

Realistically though, every team has outliers.

 

 

Yeah seems like our days of blind loyalty are gone and that's a good thing... I hate to see Be as on go but this move made sense AND we did right by him.

 

Pretty much.

 

You went from a sportswriter with no experience at personnel evaluation to a guy who's judged talent for over 25 years, been part of six Super Bowls and is used to having an expectation of being in contention every single year.

 

I'd say the standards have changed.

 

If you're on the team now, you gotta figure that if a guy like Beason can be traded, pretty much anyone is fair game.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
