Mike & Mike In The Morning Two-a-Days: Carolina Panthers...

.....Will be on shortly on ESPN2 and ESPN Radio. I'm interested to see what they say about our DT situation as well as the new defensive scheme. They both tend to make sense and are 2 of the remaining 4 or 5 ESPN personalities I can stand for longer than 10 minutes before I want to drive railroad ties into my skull....

I'm thinking theres a Mike & Mike Carolina Panthers conspiracy going on here. I have been watching since 6am knowing the panthers were on today and unless they did it extremely fast we weren't actually talked about only our record was guessed. They said up this morning panthers and texans and then they go to the texans, talked about them and then sum everything up by saying what they guessed for the panthers and that was it.

Dude, I have basic cable, you tell me something else on to watch at 6am and I'll be all over it.

Streaming whatever on the internet?

Or maybe Oxygen?

Heh just joshing you man... heck I haven't seen a 6am in years and I'll be a monkey's distant relative if I know whats on at that time.

    • I'm absolutely amazed at how many people actually think this was a great move. Like did y'all just become Panthers fans yesterday? When has re-signing a RB to a big money contract ever worked out for this franchise? DeAngelo Williams? Jonathan Stewart? Christian McCaffrey? All of those re-signings were mistakes. Giving a RB big money has a terrible track record of ROI, period. It's a draft 'em and let 'em walk position. A big part of the Panthers' roster management issues over the years and a big part of why we have historically been inconsistent before finding our consistency as perennial cellar dwellers under Tepper is because we have always fundamentally struggled to understand positional value. We have always tied up far too many premium resources be it cap space or draft picks in non-premium positions. We currently have a ton of money tied up in RBs and interior OL. The doom cycle just keeps repeating.
    • To demand more money you have to have suitors. What other franchise is overpaying for RBs?   Henry/Barkley were both free and had limited suitors. The position isn't that valuable in the grand scheme of things.    
    • 1) Still young at 25. Good contract for the production, especially at only 15 million guaranteed. 2) Investing in a core offensive identity. An elite running back corps is a force multiplier with our upgraded interior line.  3) Acknowledging performance and retaining developed talent sets an important precedent for a young, rebuilding team. 4) This “devaluation” of running backs perspective seems to be waning. Setting aside the Chiefs and their hall of fame coach/QB/TE combo, the tops teams have all invested in RBs, many of which were free agents. Lions with a contract to Montgomery and first round Ghibbs. Ravens sign Henry. Eagles sign Barkley. Vikings sign Jones. Packers sign Jacobs. Commanders sign Ekeler. Texans sign Mixon. Bills have their second rounder Cook who filled in after 3rd rounder Moss was underwhelming (who the Bengals then signed this offseason but is hurt). The niners moved for CMC. Steelers Harris was a first rounder. Falcons have Bijan playing well.
