I get why they let him go but make no mistake the Panthers are the only loser in this deal.

Loser would indicate they had a choice. They didn't. There was no way they would or could pay Josh more than Luke Kuechly and expect to maintain cap discipline in the coming years with other marquee players becoming free agents soon. Think about the signal that would send everyone else's agents. We would be back in the Marty Hurney way of doing things in no time. 

I much prefer a GM who knows where the money needs to be spent and sticks to the plan. 

At least the Panthers look like they will be getting a third rounder next season. With how well Gettleman drafts, thats nothing to sneeze at especially when that third could be packaged to move up if need be.

It's sad to see Josh go. He worked well in our scheme AND was a highly talented cornerback. Anyone who says he was only a product of a system must've missed the Saints game last year. 

I do believe he has the potential to be exposed. I keep recalling one play with OBJ where he completely got smoked. If he wasn't in his head, the play would've resulted in an easy touchdown. And I know that was just one instance. 

Good for him for making his money. I know deep down he wanted to be here. But, we are talking at least $20 million more thrown at you from another team a few hours down the road. Not to mention a longer contract and guaranteed money. If you were in the same scenario, it would be a tough call. It's easy to say from your couch that you would easily pick the hometown team and say screw $20 million extra. But, everyone of you need to think rationally and put yourself in his shoes. 

Good luck to you Josh.

Can the Mods please remove all Josh threads now? This $hit is getting old. He's now a Foreskin and I could care less if he ever sees the field again. Thanks. 

so you care a little?

Have you seen Josh play basketball? He is plenty athletic. Also, he has very little wear and tear on him. There is NO reason to believe he is going to just fall off that fast.

 

Man, some of you will say anything to make you, and your point, seem legit.

History backs up my statement. Your statement is just Homer statement.

Haven't read through the thread so I'm sure someone has pointed this out, but that contract is $13M more than Luke...that is mindblowing to me.

Yep. Luke is wayyyyy better than Norman. It's crazy how 1 good year pays someone like this. Until last season i really never payed attention to josh, because his play never warrant attention. Teams backing up brink trucks for 1 good season is very risky. Glad gman didn't pay him.

counts $20 million against the cap next season

Yeah they basically gave him qb money. I mean cam's cap hits are similar to Josh's. It's crazy. Good for Josh but we have wayyy to many other talented pieces to pay and corner isn't something we value as high as dlineman or qb play. It was the right move by us. Just wish we could've had him for one more year but oh well. Hope he balls out for them except MNF. He was a great player and dude for the franchise

      Forget about Bryce, Dave Canales is who we should be talking about.

      By Eazy-E · Posted

      The playcalling seems suspect at times because there are certain plays we literally cannot run because of the physical limitations of our QB.  The offense looked completely different with Dalton under center but unfortunately he ran out of steam in like 2 games. There were plays he called that I’ve never seen ran for Bryce. Bryce just lacks that type of arm talent. It looks like he created a completely new offense for Bryce now compared to what he was calling when Bryce started the season. Let Dave pick his QB and let Bryce and the new guy battle it out in camp. It should have already happened this past offseason.

      Anyone know XL’s drop % rate?

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Yessir, great white knight. Sorry for bringing up relevant numbers that provide perspective. Sleep tight tonight. You have a long day of defending Bryce's honor ahead of you tomorrow. Want some more relevant numbers? Bryce completed 60% of his passes today, his season average. Legette caught 67% of his targets.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      I think the Bucs and Eagles take care of us but we turn around and beat the Cowboys.  ATL and/or AZ could be wins depending on which version of them you get. TB knows Canales’ offense, and Coen has been calling great games. I have a hard time seeing us beat them this season. 4-13 floor 6-11 ceiling, would be surprised to see 7-10
