Sooner or later they'll replace them with robots...

The whole thing is stupid if you ask me. What, they don't want anybodies feelings hurt?

Remember the Steve Smith and Ocho Cinco endzone duel? It may have gotten silly but the fans liked it. Let them play! Let them have fun!

bah....so what if he gets fined for it.

i have no problem with it (the fining) at all. it was unnecessary and isn't as innocent as a hush sound and anyone thinking that is off their rocker.

if the league wants to protect their image by not allowing their players that they employ to make gestures implying that they are going to slash someone's throats then that's there prerogative. you don't like it you could always watch something else or just get over it. that isn't something that is likely to be changed.

ftr, i'm glad that they did that. i don't want my kids copying that gesture. in most circles that is a threat. they do that in most settings and they are going to have something happen to them. the fine wasn't that much anyway, compared to what these guys are getting. it is enough to know that there isn't a place for that in the NFL.

What about when DWill and JStew do their normal theatrics after a touchdown? Will we be seeing that when the season starts up now? Because the things they do to congratulate one another are much more blatant than the throat slash was.

They do them on the sidelines though, not in the end zone.

    • I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/
    • I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...
    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.
