Alfonso Boone - DL Sep. 2 - 4:41 pm et

The Panthers are expected to sign free agent DT Alfonso Boone on Wednesday.

It'd be a solid pickup. Boone is past his prime, but could function as a run-stopping wave tackle in Carolina. He also has a pretty good handle on coordinator Ron Meeks' scheme after playing for Herm Edwards and Lovie Smith.

the biggest reason we stunk up the joint last year on D was b/c of our one dimensional DTs.....Fox needs DTs who are solid in pass rushing for his schemes to work.......it is really tough to get excited about bringing in sub par scrubs who specialty is being somewhat good against the run. Fox needed to bring someone who could do what Kemo couldn't do (and that was before the injury)......now are focus is on bringing in a crappier version of Kemo.

Guys remember that we have very little cap space to play with. If we can get a servicable rotational guy for minimum, it is not a bad move.

greater expectations than that simply aren't realistic. It's hard enough to find a DT with cap room in FA and picks in the draft with both above average pass rush and stuff skills. To find one under our circumstances is going to be more of a struggle at this point.

I think they still can find some one better then a 33 YO never was type player. Since we do now have the run-stuffer we desperately needed 3 weeks ago I think the FO will and needs to wait until final cuts until they sign someone else. And seeing as we are looking for a starter at DT we probably can chose anyone of the players that don't have to clear waviers. It's basically every DT best chance to start.

      Why are we wasting money on RBs? Not even 2 years and we overpaid for 2 RBs!

      By oceans_1 · Posted

      I swear there are like 6 people on this godforsaken website that must be paid just to piss and moan all day in these stupid ass threads, for years on end, about fugging everything. Always something to whine about. If y'all aren't getting paid to professionally bitch about this team at every opportunity you need to reevaluate your lives because that ish is pathetic for grown ass men to be doing.  There are at least 50 other voices of reason in here. They're all smarter than you kneejerking perpetual contrarians. It's a fine contract. Our previous dipstick GM ran this team like some college kid that read a few Investopedia articles on technical trading and started throwing daddy's money at every positive indicator he saw - look what happened when Fitt drafted by RAS because he couldn't identify talent if it was footballs deep in his wife in the war room. It's a football team and this preoccupation with analytics, in this instance the positional value of RBs, is like 30% of the equation. It's not wholly inaccurate, but it requires a lot of context and, going back to the trading analogy, an understanding of the fundamentals. This is a sad, crappy organization that needs some winning attitudes in the locker room and on the field. $15 mil guaranteed over two years is nothing compared to the intangible value he brings, and the message the contract sends, not to mention his stellar work ethic and consistent improvement.

      It boils down to either you believe in Chuba or you don't. For myself I 100% believe in him that he's a hard worker and a leader we want in the locker room. The issue is this investment paired with all the money we have tied up in the oline now (150 million in a single offseason) and Center is still a position of need going forward. Then there is the matter of the defense. Other than Derrick Brown and Jaycee Horn and maybe Wallace who has promise it's basically a wasteland. That cannot be understated. Dan Morgan is walking a tightrope here. Unequivocally he cannot play games with this QB room next season. Leave no stone unturned creating a real competition and actually have a real fallback plan.

      Bryce is still the future

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      To end all questions, I think we should start him rest of season as long as he does not hinder the young WR's and TE's development. In other words as long as he does not go back to super awful possibly worst QB ever plays scared and afraid Bruce that we saw most of his career so far then let him keep playing this season and make a decision on what to do with him in the off season. If he grows great , if he stays the exact same as he is now with no more development then ship him out. If he goes back to classic Bryce then sit him again and at seasons end ship him out. If by some snow balls chance in hell he actually develops and looks good by seasons end then hang onto him. Simple as that really. He controls his own destiny on what happens to his career here is my opinion.
