See 4th down reception in PHI that led to comeback drive. Overpaid, arguably, useless, not at all. 

That narrative needs to stop, no one would be complaining if he wasn't costing 5m per, keep in mind Funchess got 10m guaranteed with incentives to hit 13m for one season, and he doesn't even have Torrey's track record of production. 

So even overpaid to some degree is a misrepresentation of his salary, by current standards it is very affordable. 

And his QB could not get him the ball deep for 2 reasons---OL and shoulder (later).  With a  better OL and shoulder, he could be a factor.  Rework his deal down to about $2-3m.

Funny how Hurney got dogged for giving out big contracts and folks now say sign McCoy at all costs. Hurney 2.0 won't overspend and as a result McCoy might walk. You can't have it both ways. 

He gave out big contracts to players who had no business getting those type of contracts. Gerald isn’t one of those guys. He’s a great player.

Supposedly, Baltimore brass are discussing an offer.  McCoy was slated to go home to his family--now he is coming here.  Not sure at all, but  he could be leveraging us to force the Ravens offer.  That is what I would do in his situation--

don't know if all of you saw in another thread that Torrey tweeted "decisions decisions" a day or two ago....could be related.

interesting.  If you were a high profile athlete, why do that?  Maybe they offered him a reduced contract.  If I am his agent, I say
"That would be a big ole bowl of Nope.  Your offensive line sucked and your QB had no shoulder."

I think it's just a wild attempt to attach meaning to an enigmatic tweet that couslve been referring to just about anything. Maybe he didn't know whether to go with the breakfast burrito or the fresh fruit with cottage cheese? They both looked really good.

I think his agent knows full and damn well that no one else is giving him anywhere near $5M and that there's not a dime of guaranteed money in that deal so he has no leverage. He'd likely tell his client to accept that pay cut or get ready to hit free agency where we're likely looking at a contract somewhere around veteran minimum and hopefully he can negotiate some performance or playing time based incentives.

and if I am the Panthers I say...

look bruh.  That may be true but that newb named Samuel averaged a TD every couple touches.  Another rookie was a highlight reel every time he touched the ball.  We gave you the looks earlier in the year when Cam's arm was at it's best......and got little.

      Why even be mad at about this one?

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      It isn't a two year process from where we have torn down to. That's the problem. We could fuging destroy the next two drafts and free agency periods and we might improve to maybe .500 football. This is literally why I said we should have never torn down this franchise. Now you have to completely build culture and you have to replace about 85% of the roster with NFL capable players. That is NOT a 2 year building process. It's years. YEARS.

      Crazy thought on next QB

      By TheMaulClaw · Posted

      It fairly obvious that Evero needs to go. Honestly, the development of Canales is more important than the development of Bryce Young for this franchise.

      You are literally describing a 7th round special teams guy, not a 2nd rounder. That's the problem. Sure, if he was actually a sure handed WR. The truth is that he isn't that yet. Remember, he isn't some 21 year old. He's about half a year younger than TMJ. We can't afford for him to take 3-4 years to figure this out.  If you wanted a QB's best friend and just HAD to trade up, go get a Brian Thomas. That's an effective and pro ready WR. Or how about a guy that went after XL? McConkley who consistently is able to get open and even catch the ball with his actual hands!!!
