Based on everything I read about him before he bought the Panthers, I expected he was going to be at least somewhat "hands on" once he started to take more control.

It's been reported that he's now transitioning away from the hedge fund stuff to being a full-time NFL owner, so it's generally expected he'll have more influence on the football side in the years to come.

Yeah, I don't know what to think about that. If we go full tilt and bring in new coaching, management, etc, it will make me feel a little better that he just wanted to put his stamp on the franchise and mold it to where he thought it needed to be.

But.......Dan Snyder and Jerry Jones come to mind as well. Let's hope this all works out.

Not exactly groundbreaking news. Of course there were concerns with the shoulder, it was the biggest story of the offseason. Obviously that became overshadowed by the preseason ankle injury. This needs to be a heavy learning lesson moving forward for all parties involved. It doesn't exactly instill confidence in the medical staff that suddenly Kyle Allen has a phantom shoulder injury now as well.

Very Trump-esque conspiracy theory. Just say the words in order to make the connection for people of low intelligence. The fact it makes no sense doesnt matter.

I don’t blame him. You’ve got a QB who’s been playing hurt the past 4 years and a young inexperienced guy who’s 6-1. Extending him with one year left is lunacy. Ron and Hurney aren’t who I’d trust on this. 

Before the poo, I’m not even saying to trade or release Cam, just that extending a continuously hurt (not Cam’s fault either, just facts) before he’s proven healthy is crazy.
 

 

Yeah, I hope no one is making a non-troll argument for extending Cam. IMO, I'd love to have him back for that last year of the deal. Not sure even if the team was willing, if he would be willing. But to extend him after three straight years of being banged up is lunacy.

Marty and Ron will share the same fate as Cam. Of course they hope he is retained.

I mean honestly, retaining him given the questions about his health would have been a sketchy proposition anyway. Extending him would have been insane, basically Jake's"thank you" contract all over again.

I wasn't exactly the biggest fan of Ron and Marty anyway, but if they were seriously thinking of that...

The general rule is you don't let big time players get to the last year of their contract without talking about some kind of extension.

On the flipside, big time players tend to get annoyed when teams don't at least make some kind of overture. 

Proven players don't like being asked to play on "prove it" deals.

Do you not remember the Daryl Williams situation last year? He bypassed surgery as well. He reinjured his knee and ended up on IR.

No one is talking about a conspiracy or saying injuries are entirely on the staff.

If you could ever resist being an insufferable contrarian you might actually post something of value once in awhile.

Yeah but this would be an outlier scenario given the past three years of injuries. I could definitely understand why the team would be reticent to extend and why Cam would be equally as reticent to be asked to play his final year on that "prove it" deal.

dude you're retarded.  you said he had a phantom shoulder injury.   nothing phantom about being slammed to the ground.  medical staff hasn't been able to get cam to have surgery multiple times when he's needed it.  what qb, other than cam, waits until the last minute to have shoulder surgery.  he doesn't like getting cut on even when its needed.  we've known that for years.

Bit early to be comparing him to Snyder and Jones don't you think? All depends on how the season shakes out and what he does with the staff in the event our season ends once again in failure. I don't think injuries should be an excuse for another year of a losing record from this staff regardless. Not with the Bucs and Falcons playing the way they are. We still have to defeat Atlanta btw. Quinn owns Ron so far.

Which kind of puts us where we are now.

And I know everybody wants to pick a side and blame somebody but in this case, I can't really blame either side for being reluctant here.

The majority of division rival coaches seem to own Rivera so far.

The Bucs coach doesn't because who that is keeps changing.

You aren't at all curious about the timing and downplaying of the report of Allen's shoulder injury?

Hey raz, stick to what you do best here on the huddle, bullying females.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      Yeah and he succeeded at an even higher level in LA with an even better surrounding cast. Goff is a guy that isn't really able to dramatically elevate players around him but he can make a good situation even better. He is capable of that. Some QB's aren't. I am not sure Dak is able to do that and he is in a similar "class" as Goff, IMO.

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      i think i could handle that for a year. beyond that....i don't know.  back where we lived, when we had a few inches of snow, it might have been a couple feet because we weren't getting out and doing anything. i remember times where power would go out for days on end. we had propane and electric heat, depending on the floor. basement (had a couple bedrooms and a living room and kitchen down there) and main floor had gas logs. main floor gas logs was enough to take care of the upstairs, so we could stay warm and cook on the grill when we needed. we had a well so that was always an issue when the power went out. had to make sure tubs were filled with water for the toilets and we had gallons of water for drinking and cooking available. always had to make sure we were ready. that wasn't always the case. we had a couple moments where we were going through propane quickly and because we were dealing with the worst propane company in the world (amerigas) they wouldn't get out to put gas in our 900 gallon tank. made for some nerve racking moments.  i know y'all were probably a lot more able to handle that kind of thing, but after the little bit (comparatively) that we got here i just have no desire to get trapped again. maybe for a day or two a year get snowed in and i'm good.

      We finally get to see Brooks this week

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I think he is just drawing a DC to them line and that's about as far as his thought process went. It makes almost no sense outside of that. Also, it doesn't make sense for Pittsburgh or Seattle at this juncture either.  I think our "veteran" pool is basically gonna be the Dalton/Flacco tier or the "pick your poison" options of young busts(Jones/Z. Wilson) or wild, TO prone gunslingers(Darnold/Winston/etc). We have the option to pursue I genuinely believe(depending on the way the rest of this season goes), we either draft a QB in the top 10 or resign Dalton. Outlier third option on taking one of the wild gunslingers that Dave feels like he can work with.
