So, I post a fair amount...but not as much as many of you. 5000 posts is a milestone. So this is a milestone post.

 

I have been in this forum a long time. Do not remember when I first signed up. Nance was the one who recommended this place to me from another forum. A lot has changed since then. There were a lot more women who posted regularly in the football forum and were quality posters. I understand why they left. I miss them.

 

I have been able to attend all the regular season games and a playoff game 2 times. The first was 2008. The 2nd time was this year.

 

2008 was the beginning of the end. I believe this year is the beginning.

 

We have a young talented team...with a few great vets showing the way.

 

It is unbelievably awesome to have the NFL COACH OF THE YEAR and NFL DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR. Even more incredible knowing where Rivera was early in the year and Luke is only a 2nd year player. That is pretty impressive. (Also impressive is what quality people they seem to be.)

 

I believe in Gettleman. We are so lucky to have him. Hard to believe it took him so long to get a GM job. Funny how he and Rivera have that in common. Although the Boston Boss seemed ready from day 1. Rivera had to grow into the job. Props to Rivera...he seems like someone who will always learn and grow (refreshing), and props to JR and Gettlman for giving him the chance.

 

Also I love the way Gettleman came in. He did not fire/replace anyone. Who does that these days in the NFL? (Or anywhere) Wanted to give everyone a chance. He is unique in that regard. Not an ego....got to have “my guy.” He is looking pretty smart. He said his job is to make everyone better....check. I think we will have a long love relationship with The Grinder.

 

Rivera is only going to get better as a coach. Gettleman will get us quality players. The Panthers have a great foundation. The next few years are going to be very good.

 

It is a great time to be a Panther fan, but is has been great from the beginning. Every team will have ups and downs but true fans are there through it all. I am a fan. I was a fan from the beginning. I am hooked.

 

One thing I want. Jerry Richardson to win a Super Bowl. He gave us this team. He deserves it. I believe Rivera and Gettleman will get it for him sooner rather than later.

 

This team will do great things soon. I love this team....I always will.

This team has a chance to be a dynasty or dynasty esque with the right FA moves. We probably have the best young-veteran core in the game.

 

Luke, Star, CJ, Hardy, Cam, Kalil, Tolbert, Olsen

 

 

Get Cam a few more weapons and I think we stomp about anybody. Keep in mind this team ridiculously overachieved, especially on offense. Cam being awesome, Smith being clutch, and Rivera converting 4th down is what kept our weak offense on the field. Imagine when we get another talented receiver and beef the o-line. I don't see how you stop Smith in the slot, plus Olsen, Ted Ginn, another pass catcher, plus our over priced yet talented backfield. Once our offensive line can generate push we will be able to dictate the game by pounding the football instead of just taking advantage of the mismatch Cam brings as a runner.

 

 

The offensive line will naturally be better next season anyway in my opinion.  Don't forget we had 10,000 linemean on IR this year.

i miss blindsite and fireball :(

 

blindsite used to do those awesome writeups and fireball knew more about football than 95% of these forums

 

in short, we used to have more posters like Mr Scott and fewer posters like TCF or SMF

 

I agree except Fireball knew more about football than 99.5% of all.....at least.

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      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?
