Fletcher Cox is Holding Out For a Deal: What about Short?


The Huddler

Recommended Posts

Im watching NFLN like a tool..

 

Fletcher Cox is holding out so far for a deal.. Hes under contract for the 2016 season.. Hes MIA

 

Is Short? Pretty much same scenario.. I know we started later because of our post season success.. But im curious.. Is Short present? 

 

Honest question from a fan that I know others will be wondering as well

 

Go Panthers

No chance, that's why the Godfather has our stars locked up a year ahead of time.  Cox was from the 2012 draft.

So they probably placed the 5th year option on him and he wants a long term deal hence the hold out. 

 

KK is in a completely different situation. He has no fifth year option.

There hasnt really been any hint that he would hold out, plus we are trying to get this done well ahead of time rather than roll the dice and see if he has another good year.  I am betting we get him locked up long term before the season starts, DG values his hog mollies, he will pay him, plus I dont think he wants to endure the hell of having our fans question him allowing another guy to develop under our staff and then walk to another team.

Here is a good article on the Cox subject.  Eskin in Philly recently came out and said that Cox and agent had turned down $60 million in guarantee's.  Cox's agent went on the radio to say BS.

Neither Cox or Short are going to get Suh money but they will probably better the 6 year, $95 mil, $60 mill guarantee that Dareus signed last fall.

I doubt DG gives a rip about fans questioning him. If fact I'd be willing to bet there are very few things he cares less about.

Fair point.  Then again his comments about all the hell he caught over tagging Hardy after the domestic violence stuff was brought up suggest certain points weigh with him.

    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of immature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.   
    • I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch 
    • What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
