So Gems from today.

 

 

 

 

I for one think the Panthers need different blocking back then Talbert. Talbert is not even close to what Hoover was in any category, run, pass catching, and especially blocking. I think the young guy from Penn St will challenge him. Talbert may have been selected as a pro bowler, but not in my minds eye

I don't know Talbert is, but we need to replace him quick!

 

 

Mr. Richard Johnson (not kidding)  brings it!

In the Form of unsolicited Cam commentary:

 

 

Why not write the REAL story? Cam has no intention of playing here past his rookie contract. ZERO. He has told the Panthers he will not even discuss it. He wants to move to a big market where he can pursue his other interests. I know this is a fact, and I am sure lots of the press knows it as well. Why keep the readers in the dark? We need to be looking for a replacement, and now. Our D is solid, and if we can get a QB who understands what it takes to win, we have a shot. Why not shop Cam, see if we can get anything out of him before he walks. This is playing out EXACTLY like the Peppers fiasco.

 

Another proud Charlottian on Rivera winning a Coach of the year and what it means for his basketball career

 

 

 

Well deserved. Unfortunately, often the kiss of death too (see George Karl, Mike Leach, Avery Johnson, Sam Mitchell, Matt Doherty, Al Skinner, need I go on?).

Gettleman is a dirty yankee liar by Charlotean:

 

 

how long is he going to ride that excuse out? his entire contract?

the dude got handed a 12-4 team that he was easily able to get 20 million under the cap year one, and by carrying that over should easily be able to retain that team and add a draft class.

18 of the 25 starters were hurney guys and that's not counting godfrey missing the year, gano who was signed by hurney's assistant, lotulelei who would have been the obvious pick for ANY gm, and the 2nd corner spot which at times was josh thomas.

props to the guy on mitchell, props on ginn. no props what so ever for the beason trade. didn't save enough to only get a 7th rounder for a guy that was a pro bowl OUTSIDE linebacker (as well as inside) previously and balled out in NY this year.


dude needs to stop acting like he was handed the browns or something. it's absolutely insulting and it's insane that the observer doesn't call him on it and instead regurgitates that "cap hell" BS he's been spewing all year.

stop. seriously.

 

 

gettleman is going to ride that "cap challenged" thing for years. and you guys are eating it up.

godfrey, olsen, and stewart are not getting their cap figures. everybody knows that including gettleman but he's going to play that card to protect himself.

he inherited a young core ready to contend if coached properly. the guy is pinch running on third base and complaining about there being 1 out.

that 20 million carries over. that franchise tag is sitting there. our QB is under contract for 2 more years. the 3 listed above plus others will be restructured or extended. another draft class on rookie scale. few holes to fill.


he can easily bring back EVERYBODY on this roster plus a new draft class to address depth/injury/age/looming retirement issues.


but yeah.....cap challenged. please observer.....this year....be reporters. report the truth along WITH the quotes. report the actual payroll guaranteed and non-guaranteed. not that 16 over the cap BS of last year with gamble being 10 million of it.

12-4 where coaching cost us at least 2 of the games if not 3. That's not cap challenged. that's talent stacked. especially when we did that with a few starters missing the year or most of it.

 

 

Lenny gives us some solid moves to make in Free Agency, this is likely someone who misses PrimeTime with the Pacman...

 

 

I say we takes this oppertunity to clean house on the offense line. Gross has at least some trade value. And what we really need is more wide receivers to let Cam shine. I think a package deal of Gross and Kalil with one top player to Dallas for Dez Bryant would be a really good thing for us. The third play would have to be someone good. I'm thinking either Kukely or Hardy.

Dez Bryant would give us just what we need to line up with Smitty as the #2 receiver.

 

Seems we need to draft a QB:

 

 

 

Wow..no one mentioned a QB...sorry no Cam fan here. He may shine sometimes but we need a consistent thrower, mover, thinker. He has had 3 yrs to grow. Look at the stand out QB's in the league before any negative comments on this. Other than that...replace all secondary except Cap't M. Go Panthers!

 

 

Enjoy

I bet you one of them idiots was the asshole sitting behind me in 533, with 6 minutes to go in the THIRD quarter, declared the game over and might as well leave.

I promptly turned around and asked him why the hell he wasted his money, and time away from the house if he wasn't going to support the Panthers to the final tick of the game.

That pissed me off more than any part of the game.

      Canales and Mike White

      I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks.

      Yeah okay fair enough.  Maybe the point is if you have a better system and players you can dumpster dive for a RB and if you don’t you have to shop top shelf. I dunno.    I would put my assets into the best OL I could get and let them make UDFA like Rico look like stars. As opposed to putting CMC behind a makeshift OL. And right now I don’t even remember who was on the OL when we took him, just sayin.
