Can't argue with any of this. Seen this story play out enough times over the last several years. It's "Moton" btw.

He'll get what the market dictates but the market is reset frequently. The floor for a top tackle is already pricey whether he stays on the right or makes a switch. Panthers fans might want to get this hometown discount vibe out of their heads.

Panthers are past the point of blinking on working something out with Moton in a timely manner. They are now in a corner. He can all but name his own price.

He was kind and complimented Marshall then offered words of support. But if you read this thread you would think he took a dump on the whole franchise. There are odd folks here.

It isn't like Olsen called anyone out he was just open about the situation rather than giving a company line. Guys play for other teams it happens. It bothered me as much as seeing Thomas Davis in a Chargers jersey ie very little. Both players were clearly done anyway. Seeing Newton in a Patriots jersey doesn't bother me either. Plenty of well known Panthers who were involved in success with this franchise have worn other jerseys. Life goes on.

Bridgewater isn't the worst qb but it isn't a question he lacked arm strength on the deep passes. I certainly can't recall him overthrowing our speedsters last year.

Meh I wasn't happy about it but it really didn't matter. Any rivalry was long gone by that point and they aren't in our division anyway. He'll be fine.

All chatter about retired numbers aside it will be nice to see #88 in the end zone again for old times sake.

The microaggressions he was subjected to were exhausting. He made games fun to watch and that translated to his teammates despite some observers wanting as often as possible to detach him from that natural joy that he played with. He detested losing so much so that it sometimes got the best of him but it cannot be disputed that he changed the culture for the better. He carried that mentality with him in the years that followed even as some fans and the local media were practically kicking and screaming about changed norms along the way. If Carolina can recapture anything like that again soon we will be very lucky.

Yep. Both teams had only 3 wins by week 10. By stroke of luck or a little tanking sprinkled in they finished on a 5 game losing streak and outdueled us for worst. I guess that's a silver lining if you are that hard up for a little optimism

Well the good news is there is nowhere to go but up. Still waiting for that left tackle though...

If he continues at this pace and can stay healthy he will easily approach 30 million per year on his upcoming contract. Better capitalize on that rookie deal now.

Indeed. Hopefully they do better than their win percentage of .313 in both '19 and '20.

We both know it's spite. The least we can do is be honest this is an anonymous chat. The point of the post which you glossed over was to stop popping champagne bottles over having a top offensive skill player while we are playing musical chairs with the bottom team in our division. Not everyone is satisfied with fawning over the highest paid running back while watching the team falter each season. It's all hands on deck for '21.

I get the sense you are dragging in a feud from a previous disussion. My opinion is that Atlanta was not worse than Carolina last year. If anything we were neck and neck. Despite them having a higher draft pick than us we still split with them and we got swept by the Saints and Bucs. I guess we were a hair better than the lowly Falcons. Yay?

Carolina is 2-10 in the division since 2019.

Nah we didn't lose that bad we were still in it in the fourth quarter. Not changing anything up and thinking we didn't need to adjust with some help on the o line to a stout pass rush that sent Tom Brady packing is what did us in. We would have a trophy of our own at boa if not for that. Drew is hall of fame bound but he is a stat padder and truthfully overrated. He had very good accuracy and he got paired up with the right coach at the right time. Didn't Payton go for a crucial onside kick in their super bowl against the Colts late in the game? Think Ron Rivera would have had the guts to do that? I'm not hanging my hat on the teams in our division cratering until we show something. We haven't sniffed a division title in what five years? Yet here we go again another Panthers regime is hoping for someone anyone to emerge as the anchor for our offensive line. Maybe this time will be different

All this Carowinds talk has me missing the days before they lost the Paramount rights. The Hurler and Stan Mikita's....

You want one set of standards for how you are treated but you use a different set for others and start namecalling. That is not being consistent.

It is understandable to not want to give a rival credit but let's not get crazy. In a game for all the marbles the Bucs shut down one of the leagues most potent offenses in years and one of the best young quarterbacks the league has ever seen.

Christensen could be good or he could be another Little it is a crapshoot regardless of this analytics we are being sold. Well in truth all we have right now is a hope that Moton may slide to the left. We have no confirmation that he wants to let alone that he will be comfortable there long term. Even if that does happen he will want to be paid for that position and if we do and it doesn't work out where does that leave us? Another albatross contract? There are still a lot of unknowns rn.

If that actually mattered Carolina wouldn't be dead last in the division.

Well there is this old school ignore function of the internet that maybe glen hasn't heard about. It's called logging out

You put me on ignore 12 minutes ago but you're still pooping posts? You're in your feelings boothang.
