Players not coming to play for Charlotte?

[CelibatePimp]

It sure seems like.  Nicks knows we don't have poo at WR while Gettleman thinks we have enough to sacrifice our best WR (that we still have to pay)

 

Smith was not our best WR last season. It was Olsen.

[Doc Holiday]

Don't forget the daily original idea of "why don't we just cut deangelo and Stewart and give their money to new free agents?"

 

Yeah, Someone here I dont remember who was ticked off that we had not cut stewart yet, and I had to go and explain it to him and actually had no clue why we hadn't before I said anything.  It's just what we're dealing with people have no idea and I bet some poster just now read my post and was like WTF there's a reason we haven't cut Williams or Stewart? lol

Wrong...We did not,i repeat,did not make Nicks an offer. Could it be that we determined he wasn't the answer at WR that we were looking for?  Logical thinkers would say yes.

Why do people keep saying this? Because Zod said Gettleman wasn't interested? Why did Nicks say he was offered a contract? Why did Fowler confirm he was offered one?

the huddle og's words are gospel.  the guy involved is just a liar

 

once again:http://espn.go.com/blog/carolina-panthers  "So wide receiver Hakeem Nicks, after signing a one-year deal with the Indianapolis Colts, says Carolina Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman made him an offer but "it didn't turn out the right way.''

 

there's a whole fuggin thread about it with this as the title, but since he's not a happy camper i guess it's invalid *shrugs*

[Hugor Hill]

.. did you also just come out of a comma?

 

I think he just came out of a parenthesis myself.

 

[mav1234]

You are as good as your last season.

Most people aren't coming because we are not overpaying them like other teams are

 

Nicks was reportedly offered more to play here, though.  Even if untrue, his interview on the subject suggests it wasn't about the money.

[Doc Holiday]

You guys keep bullshitting yourselves

http://espn.go.com/blog/carolina-panthers/post/_/id/5418/nicks-turning-down-panthers-a-poor-sign

 

Prior to the Smith Cut,  the gernal consicens on here was that Gett was a genius, afterwards he's an idiot, Gett didnt suddenly have a 80 iq swing so which is true?

 

I'm not going to bother enough to dig up my own posts on the matter but I did post on here after it was looking like Smith was on his way out that I didn't want Nicks unless the deal was right because Lafell has been more productive over the last two years then him. If I'm the GM I'm not going to sign him to a contract worth a damn untill he shows me he still has game.

 

The oh and the real reason why Nicks went to Indy is for 2 reasons, 1 it's the AFCS aka the weakest division in football, and 2, Indy offered him more with a $5.5M deal Source ->

And Carolina offered $4.5M source -> http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/03/14/mixed-signals-on-nicks-and-panthers/)

 

So yeah I just blew a ESPN writers story and your argument out of the water with 5 minutes of google bo fuging yeah for me bro.

 

Like I said earlier the people fliping out is more about those that haven't watched an offseason before, if a Player doesnt sign one place over another it has to deal with #1 money and #2 division you play in and the team. If I think I can Land in the AFCS playing for the only team worth a damn in the division instead of the NFCS where you have 3 teams slugging it out for the top spot every year where are you going to go? the place that's going to be easier for you to make money and winning = money.  and this isnt some new idea I just brought up I was telling everyone this when Manning went to Denver.

Apparently the Colts offered him more money.

my argument was not who's paying what.  NIcks said he has help in Indy and none here.  I also wanted to make sure others knew we did make him an offer.  Thanks for your help bro

[J.Cage]

A team can have more than one reliable receiver???

What witchcraft is this?!

No help? Our #1 Recieving threat was Olsen last year and last time I checked he's still on the team, the reason why Nicks isn't here is simply all about the Benjamins(Indy offered him a contract that was almost 30% larger, then the one Carolina offered), not some BS theory a beat writer that's on a deadline and didnt bother a simple fact check threw out.  I know it's hard to admit you were wrong but how at this point can you even pretend I'm not right?

[J.Cage]

Okay...lets be real, people wanted someone to compliment 89 for years.

Nicks gave you two other WRs he's joining. Not a clutch TE.

See: 49ers

good lord Doc. How am I wrong about a direct quote from NIcks?
