Sproles to be released by the Stains.

This move puts us on pretty close footing, offenseive wise, with the saints.

Sproles was a big-time weapon for them that I am happy no to have to game-plan for. This puts our rushing attack squarely ahead of theirs, both on the ground and out off he backfield on screens.

If we can retain Ginn, our special teams will be squarely ahead as well as Sproles was a menace in the return game.

Colston and Graham are big targets that we have always had to contend with, but Sproles added a dimension that made defending their big receivers a tougher matchup.

I think we take a big leap in being the favorites for the division as long as we have a strong draft and retain Ginn and Mitchell.

Jimmy Graham ain't happy

I guess he fails to realize they need the money to pay him...

He is the reason why they had to release Sproles, so by complaining, he's really looking like a chump. Just wait til he gets that WR tag and then they are going to be in even worse shape.

Wambulance just pulled out of the stooperdohm.

You all do realize Sproles was hurt a lot of lat season and Pierre Thomas filled in and did as good or better. This isn't such a huge blow to their offense as people think it will be.

I had sproles on my ff team last year and he did nothing.

Well, they want to trade Pierre Thomas.

This is good news because I don't think Thomas is as dangerous as Sproles. He's good but not deadly.  There were multiple times when Sproles looked unstoppable. I know he was injured last year but that was last year and not having him in our division (hopefully) is a good thing.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
