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.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.
