Peter Schrager Goes Off On Carolina Critics

Recommended Posts

I got in a heated argument with a friend this week — about the Carolina Panthers.

This friend is not a fan of any NFC South team, isn’t passionate about the league’s scheduling intricacies and isn’t someone who criticized Cam Newton for having a “fake smile” before the 2011 NFL Draft. He’s got no real dog in the fight.

But he said something that really bothered me this week. He said the same thing I’m hearing a lot of places that just drives me up a wall.

“The Panthers haven’t beaten anyone.”

Oh, I hate that. HATE. I don’t hate many things. Seriously. I don’t hate traffic. I don’t hate rainy days without the umbrella. And I don’t hate when my friends talk about “Game of Thrones” — a show I’ve never seen — all the freaking time. But I hate the “Panthers haven’t played anybody” thing.

Schrager is obviously the best, most knowledgeable sportswriter around.

Speaking of which, where's Adam Schien been lately?

He should write more fluff articles in the off season.. they seem a little out of place during the regular season..

Can lose to any team at any point. Except maybe the Jags. But, it's tough to tell how good we truly are because the only real team weve played with a good record at the moment is Seattle. While that was a close and winnable game - Seattle isn't really a powerhouse offense like the Broncos. And we were better equipped to stop them - given we have a great front 7. We made them one dimensional taking away Lynch.

I do think we are capable of beating a lot of teams with the talent we have and our stout defense. Going to be very interesting stretch of games coming up.

    • No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.
    • Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
