Panthers + all of last offseason's big losses are all in the playoffs

[JawnyBlaze]

Something that just occurred to me and I thought was an interesting factoid, the Panthers and all of the big offseason losses that are still playing (so, no including Gross of course) are in the playoffs.  I used the word big so I could exclude Captain, but he would be borderline considerable as a significant loss anyway.

 

Ginn in Arizona

Mitchell in Pittsburgh

Donald in NE

Smitty in Baltimore

 

All of our significant FA (and cuts, considering Smitty) losses are in the playoffs.  Says at least a little something about what we were building on last year.

2 of the 4 have been contributors. Ginn and Mitchell have done very little.

[WhoAmI?]

Ginn has done absolutely nothing this year and even got jumped by a rookie (John Brown). Mitchell has done very little. The Patriots go to the playoffs like every year so LaFell is not a reason why they went. Smitty is the only legitimate choice that actually played a huge part in his team making the playoffs.

Ginn has been big for the Cards on special teams, and Mitchell has started every game. Little or not, they've been contributors.

Ginn has been useless in AZ.

Mitchell has been ok. As for starting...Byron Bell has started every game for us. Fua started here, etc.

none of those guys were terrible, just luxuries we couldn't afford.  and depending on who you talk to about steve smith a whole bucket of other things.

Meh. They went to good teams. That's all.

I hate these late start times and how you people can't hold your liquor.

anybody who spends time in NFL football central already knew this though

 

that's the forum where the record breaking all-pro seasons all of those guys are having get discussed every day
