Panthers "Ready to Spend" ~ Bert Jensen

[PanthersUnited]

Torrey Smith is a real possibility. Fills a need, consistent contributor, only 26, good solid WR but not quite good enough to demand a huge contract. Expect us to make a push for him. He seems right up our alley in terms financially and need and he's not a guy that will break the bank

Remember when Bert posted on the Huddle? Zod was face palming and doing damage control.

I know I'm the only one who feels this way, but I'm uneasy in regards to Cobb.  I rarely, if ever, see a receiver go from an elite QB and offense like that of Green Bay and recreate the same success.  I'm not saying he's not a good receiver, but how many of the receivers on the end of Peyton Manning passes have excelled in other systems?  Tom Brady?  Drew Brees?  I'm in no way saying Cam isn't an good QB, but he's not an elite passer, I'd say he's an average passer and elite runner, and his TOTAL game is what makes him an elite QB.  Watch, it will be someone like Shorts out of this Free Agent group that has the most upside in the long run.

I hear what you're saying, however, I think Cobb proved his natural talent ever since his rookie year on returns. He has God given natural ability. Considering our lack of big plays made, a guy with great YAC ability would be great for Cam.

 

It would be nice to make that big splash in FA for a change and maybe letting Hardy walk makes a move like that possible.

 

All that said I do think we'll be looking at the Shorts, Crabtrees and Kearses instead. maybe even a Beasley, Royal or Tate lower down.

I can totally agree with Cobbs return ability and he does have a good amount of versatility and his shiftiness.  My concern is I think he's gonna command a ton on the open market and I don't think his value will match with what the market will be willing to pay.  Crabtree could fall to us in price, and I'd love to have him, but he is a guy who sat out for a century before signing with the 9ers for money on his rookie contract.  He has the talent, I'm just not sure if with his greed if he'd be a guy Gettleman would be willing to go after.  Kearse would be a guy I could see coming here easy as his contract is not gonna be too demanding.  I still believe that Shorts when healthy would be a good compliment to KB.  Bottom line for Gettleman IMO is looking for players real value vs their market value, the best value that matches what we can afford will be where we go.

 

I really think our big FA signing this offseason will be a Tackle like Doug Free which would put us in prime position in the draft to just go BPA up and down the board.

We need to get Bert and Marc together for a no holds barred cage match.

[Cyberjag]

I don't see us signing any OT that you've ever heard of, and he will probably stay away from the shiny WRs out there because there's always a stupid GM out there that's ready to overspend for those types.  We're going to get a collection of DBs and solid Special Teams guys and try to fill our real need positions through the draft.  The only difference now is that he's going to sign them to three year contracts instead of 1-2 year deals.

That's possible.

I do expect a legitimate veteran OT to be signed though. We won't go into the season with a rookie at LT and I'm not sure Remmers is up to the task..

Of course, I was adamant that the Panthers were not silly enough to go into the season with a Chandler / Bell tackle combination last year.

They proved me wrong.

Hopefully they learned their lesson on that one, god damn how awful that was

[SCP]

The tackle situation entering 2014 was borderline incompetence

[Mol3m4n]

I can wait one more year. Maybe.

cobb or torrey smith

jerk jerk jerk jerk jerk

Ive never fapped and had it sound like jerk

[MV%doe]

Isn't Bert the guy that said some dumb poo and then created an account here to defend himself but pretend to not be himself?

Oh internet

Thanks for the reminder, paired with the DG pic you've out done yourself.

[IamSoClutch]

Torrey Smith and Kind Dunlap at reasonable princes would be nice

But I'm a dreamer.

This is really what I'm praying happens. Ideal situation
