Mr. Scot

Possible. Could also draft Zack and spend the next five years or so arguing over who's got the better Wilson

Lady Cowboy Fan is working overtime this week so I've had a little time on my hands. I'm not expecting to get anywhere but it's amusing

Well not yet, but a hot shower doesn't sound like a bad idea

It doesn't take that much effort. There's a pretty extensive discussion of it here. And if you want the word from Gantt, it's pretty easy to find on the team site. The Panthers were mentioned in recent reports about trading for quarterback Matthew Stafford for one simple reason -- they were involved in the discussions. He adds this... The Panthers will be mentioned in reports about other quarterbacks this offseason for one simple reason -- they will be involved in the discussions.

I can call you a poo poo head, if you'd like

Yeah, that's me

I'm a non-licensed attorney spokesperson. No, I'm not

The sense I get from what I've seen about him is that he's good but overpaid.

I've seen a couple of other punters let go as well. My guess is that with the cap as tight as it's expected to be, any team paying a specialist more than minimum might look to save some money.

His current general manager and head coach are looking at dumping him. And just to be clear, two, three, four or more people can independently come to the same conclusion. My conclusion that Bridgewater is a backup at best came from my own eyes, not someone else's mouth.

Oddly enough, Josh Klein was saying he wouldn't mind us going after Thomas Morstead now that the Saints are letting him go (at vet minimum, of course). I'll grant that Morstead was probably one of the best punters in the league, but I'm fine sticking with Charlton.

"Everybody's fault but Teddy's" isn't exactly a credible argument. I don't hate Bridgewater. Didn't hate Marty Hurney either. General accounts mostly put both of them as being nice people. Unfortunately, a lot of nice people aren't very good at their jobs. This post contains two examples of that.

And here's one going in the other direction...

Guess which one of us sounds "lathered up"? Hey @Verge, have you and I had a contentious conversation? I don't recall one.

Doubt Verge would agree, but regardless, what in the world about that post sounds "lathered up"? I posted to help avoid people getting confused.

Just for clarification, Zach not Russell. (given the thread topic, I could see it being confusing)

Well, you know me. I tend to just follow along with what everybody else is saying

People had been talking about all the pass rushers Wilson was going to face in the NFC West with Watt having joined the Cardinals. Throw in that he was already complaining about a lack of protection and getting out might have sounded like a pretty good idea.

Tracking our prior friends as they move on to other pastures... Stop me if you've heard this one: A former Panther is visiting the Bills.

They're trading Brees. No, they're not.

Wilson named only four teams he'd be willing to waive his "no trade" clause for. We weren't one of them. The Saints and Bears were both on the list. I think the other two were the Cowboys and the Raiders.

In that he can mathematically make it work or he's got actual spells like Harry Potter? "Capunderus!"

If they trade for Wilson, the math to get them under the cap might be something that would make Pythagoras throw up his hands and walk away.

Sileo mentioned the Eagles also, but it's Sileo so...

Albert Breer was one. Bill Voth and Darin Gantt, who both not only report on the Panthers but are employed by them, have also acknowledged that the pursuit of Stafford happened. I'd add that unless you're in your mid-fifties or older I've likely been watching the NFL since before you were born. I have no trouble forming my own opinions. My opinion of Bridgewater is that he's best suited to be a backup.
