No one said Hardy was a cancer No one said he is even a bad guy All that is said he isnt the type player you can invest a huge portion of your cap in....he makes poor decisions.

Hardy LOL

Williams did say he was surprised with how "cool he was with being cut" and in hindsight wishes he was more demonstrative in the meeting. Whatver that means.... This is I guess him saying what he was suppose to say to Dave maybe....or simply wants an audience for it

Story being told is different. Story is Panthers didn't reach out. Truth is one man didn't. That story is what the media outlet he chose to run to is putting out....or teasing the interview with

Williams has a strong social media following.....stronger than anyone in Panther history. So if they hear a story being pitched like a team/franchsie turned their back on 34 they are gonna run with it. Story simply is Jerry Richardson didn't reach out. Team, coaches and GM did though

So....Williams just admitted the General Manager called him during the draft? After he spoke to Ron. And that he heard from teammates. That doesn't sound like the story that was being pitched tonight.... So basically Jerry Richardson didn't call.

From what I gather he is actually saying Richardson didn't reach out.....and no one went to the funeral. Not that no one reached out Which if true.....a year long pout followed by this media grab seems a bit much. Would be nice if your owner of whatever organization you worked for would reach out.....but it simply doesn't happen for everyone (no matter where you work)

May or may not be meaning too....but Darin Gantt is right. He is cut and is basically immediately changing the direction of reality.....he is old, slow, expensive and really not that good which equaled being CUT but lets "focus" now as I run to the media about how people were mean

In fairness, Johnson battled through that in front of his team. I still think you have to acknowledge different reactions say if something happens in December vs April. One of those is going to generate more response simply bc of the "when"

Didn't his mom pass away in the offseason? So that scenario isn't really accurate. Wouldn't it be more like what If you took a a couple month vacation and it happened then?

Also have to realize if something happens during the course of a seaosn vs off season.....reactions will be different. People in season are around you everyday and the organization is in the loop....and it impacts when you work. Offseason? It could actually be easy for a death not to get much attention unless the player is in touch with the team/teammates.

Yeah, it makes this really an old topic...All Pro section pretty much knew why Williams had his own little protest going all season long.....

Bell wasn't an overpaid top dollar player....he won't say anything negative

CJ battled injury I believe early....came on strong late. Kalil has just as much to prove in terms of showing he is worth the money at this stage as CJ

I doubt that...last 3 years we were 2nd in rush attempts. Both GM and HC embrace ball control They were being polite. They meant we can't justify spending money on how little you run

Bell is the type guy who is one training camp injury away from being right back

We don't run enough is the reason? That is awfully nice and bogus

zing

True. We could be getting a Nate Chandler caliber LT next year BC Carolina has shown they are willing to do that

Someone who wants a good lockerroom/team guy to provide OL depth.

Seems like a pretty good dude. Carolina simply asked too much of him. He is a backup RT. Nothing wrong with that....hope he finds something of that nature.

I think penciling in Stewart as the lead runner is an extremely safe bet. Sure there will still be some form of a committee used though and a RB added. But yes, penciling Stewart in as the lead RB basically stating the painfully obvious.

One fact that gets overlooked is older players.....that are still here can't be viewed as constants. They get worse. For example, Fozzy is better than Barner. Rest of our RB corp is two years older. They are old enough that when comparing themselves vs younger versions results in a decline. Current Luke is better than old Luke. Bc he is still on the incline. Harper as much as a hated Godfrey IMO can't be viewed as better. Not sure Harper can even earn a roster spot this next season

1. How are we much better on D? Hardy gone. Seconfary is still meh. On O we had Gross on the OL and the rest is a push. Would argue at this point we are worse at RB bc we are getting very old. We have potential on O and D that you likely couldn't be looking forward to but better IMO is counting that potential as more certain than it is

No. We can talk potential but big picture I don't think we can factually say it is better. Can't really say WR, RB, S, T, DE, etc are stronger now. We have better potential now at some spots but can't really ink us in as better. No. Ron is what he is. He still has all his same positive and negatives I think so....Dave appears to have things going the right direction. This offseason will tell us a lot more about him since he actually has some room and ability to make moves both acquiring and dealing with present guys
