I hope you are right, they need to step forward next time.

They really thought Sam was a great answer. That's the scary part, not pissing away 19 mil next year. It was a bad evaluation, a bad trade and a bad option pickup. We can eat dead cap like the best of them but the evaluation and how sure they were is terrifying. They will trade him to someone for a 2024 7th and eat 16 mil of that mistake.

I have no idea what will happen but it's a huge boon to get to see this staff with Cam this year, outside of the ginormous homecoming. We don't have to wait until next year to analyze Brady with another non-PJ level QB. Some questions are going to get answered and I am excited to see what is what.

I thought they cut Cam after the Teddy B signing? Otherwise, spot on!

Look, the first time he wasn't worth what he was asking (100 mil +) after his injuries but that does not cover up for the crap handling of it all. They should let him test the market and see if he would come back on a 2 year decent deal. I think a couple of years with good money but an out after 2 years would be the goal if he plays good. Two years and OK money for a QB if he just plays well. Hopefully both sides are a lot more realistic and this is a great new beginning for us all. I just can't think about all of Darnold's 2022 wasted cap space and how that plays into this conversation yet, I just can't yet.

It is a legitimate subject. I didnt agree with the original poster comments completely but there is some relevant Panther football subject matter there. I think it was covered well by other posters after that. See, zero emotion or negativity. And no I do not see how this post irks anyone, this is the Huddle. Some great, some awful and a lot in-between.

Some of us are big boys who can handle talking about multiple subjects, from the highest highs to the lowest lowes without making it a 'mood first' thing, whatever that is. It is a subject that will continue into the offseason. The fact you follow the 'serial doom poster' around to whine says more about you then him.

I'm just happy to want to go to a game again. There were other pluses from Cam's first stint with us. I'll give you one hint... Quality has been down boys. Sorry, chauvinistic posting over. Yes, 4th down conversions would be great and so would actual offensive scoring.

Or we could discuss all the stuff happening, good and bad. This place isn't supposed to be your morning Xanax. Even the best teams have things that can be negative. In itself it's not a big deal but when combined with the other moves made, it's going to be part of the draft hurdle.

'Them goal post are moving because I can no longer hide who I really am and care about' LOL

Best ability is availability. We passed on some really good players for a CB that isn’t the rookie CB contributing this year. Next year will be huge for Horn, hopefully it was a freak injury.

Gilmore and Taylor were cheap and are productive. Horn and Henderson cost too much and are not producing, at least not yet. We won't know much more until next year where everyone needs to be contributing or they were a mistake. Keep Gilmore at this point. The most depressing part isn't that we spent on 4 CBs this offseadon, it's that the brain trust thought a top D could make up for the crap O they put together while spending so much draft capital needed to help fix the O.

With PJ expected to play 4 quarters? I think it's safe to assume we may have to play him.

They were failing and it's been years since this was a winning team. It was showing in the stands and in GameDay sales. The Darnold move imploded on them. I don't know how this all came to be but at this point I hope this offseason and first half of the season was a huge learning experience for them all and today marks a giant change in direction for the better. As far as thr win now mentality, I have a feeling Rhule picked that up from Hurney. He was all about that life. I swear the 5 year rebuild was just a CYA move that wasn't the SOP behind the scenes.

just hiding for now

I'm 100% more interested in Panther's football but my excitement is tempered. I don't know what shape Cam is in, I don't know how he will mesh with Brady and I don't know if I can stop laughing at how fun this will be regardless of any of the first two. Let's take a breath and see what Cam can do, then we can tear the walls down and drink for fun and not sadness.

Meh, sounds a little comfy but I agree with the last part for sure.

Has anyone checked under Fitts' desk to see how he is doing?

Realizing he was over promoted?

Just getting people to watch our games is a win at this point sir.
