So you have no point at all since no one said what you put...like usual you reply to someone and say poo they didn't say as if they said it....then you swap to the whole "that's not what I said" nonsense when you get replied to when it was you who said something the other person did not say....

Wonder how Smith would have turned out here if Moose and Proehl snubbed him...

That's what he does...in literally every thread...

If you want to do nothing more than start poo with me out of the blue I'm sure you can find someone else here for that.

like i said in another thread, using our record last year doesn't do a damn thing this year but put a big target on us for other teams,and with the moves we made so far in FA's i can't see us going bpa at the moment. I'm happy about the signing, but i'm also a realist. to say these guys are better then our receivers last year is a stretch except lafell cause he sucked. The 1 yr deals are not helping cam either or making it easier, qb/wr chemistry goes a lot farther then people think.

Avant is reportedly one of the most sure-handed receivers in the NFL, so that makes him better bet than LaFell in my book, notwithstanding that LaFell may have better YAC (though I am not sure).

about 200 of lafell's yards last year came from running in a straight line while other people demolished blockers

I think after this year, players that click with team will start getting a better second contract from the Panthers.

I may be the only one that is not ecstatic about this signing. I just don't feel it, still it is a signing and at a position of need. IF one thing is for sure is that there will be no wide outs taken in the first round maybe even the second round. For sure not the first.

I hope you're wrong.

I can't fathom Gettelmen letting the FA signing of Avant Cotchery or Fade. Stop him from drafting a WR in the 1st round. They only got 1 or 2 year deals. So I know he's not thinking of them as long term players.

These are short deals to aging players that project as number 3/4 wideouts. He is building the depth, not the front end. Just like he did last year with Colin Cole and Dwan Edwards. We still drafted Star and KK in rounds 1 and 2. I'm not afraid of ignoring WR if it is BPA at 28 or 60.

True as that may be Xclown, it just happened that DT was a need and was the BPA at the same time. This year, I seriously doubt we take a WR in the first now. Since it is such a deep draft at that particular position, it would suggest that Gettleman will beef up the Oline first then get a play maker in the second or third or both. Which is fine, I just would have liked a wide out in the first. Given the nature of our picking order, we are essentially getting the cream of the crop of the next round. I.E. The best of the second at 28. Best of the third at 60 and so on and so forth.

If it ain't Martin or Lewan not many OT rate higher then some of the WR. After the 1st 4 OT the rest are rated as 2nd to 3rd round players. There are 6 to 7 1st round rated WR'S.

BPA will most likely come down to 1 of the WR dropping in our laps.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.

      It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
