Not sure why the glee over Samuel having a minor injury. I wish him well. Would've liked to have kept him but we had bigger priorities and it didn't make sense to give our 4th offensive option big money.

Nobody is celebrating it, I'm just glad we didn't resign him which is probably what Hurney would've done.

I think letting him walk was the correct call too, but it's just in really poor taste IMO to make a thread spiking the football about the guy missing week one due to a minor injury. We chose not to re-sign him. It's not like he forced his way out or it was an ugly breakup in any way. The Panthers made a business decision not to re-sign him. Samuel made a business decision to sign a contract to continue playing NFL football elsewhere. That's it, that's all. There's just no legit reason to be salty and this thread is saltier than the Dead Sea.

Did you totally miss the part about Rivera?

I definitely missed anything to get mad about.

I can't speak for everyone else, but I am not mad or upset about anything.

I think that some things will never change, like Rivera shrugging it off instead of iterating how important he believes Samuel (who they are not getting on a bargain bin deal) can be to their offense and that he is excited to have Samuel healthy again as soon as possible.

I long ago became numb to Ron Rivera saying dumb poo. I don't even notice it anymore.

You normally make to much out of what coaches say to the media. 

Seems to me you're just taking another opportunity to take a jab at him. 

Let that poo go.

Any glee Panther fans feel is not about Curtis Samuels injury and it is not about salt.

It is about this not happening to the Panthers anymore.

This too. 
 

Hurney was liable to pay him like a #1 and be stuck with him and his current injuries (and likely later ones) and contract while losing Robby and DJ over the years due to it.

All this while losing out on Marshall

      LSU receiver Lacy found dead

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Yep. Happens to a lot of talented kids. I just think a lot of people don't understand that just because this kid is super talented doesn't mean he's going to make it to the pros. Most of them won't. Some will get injured. Some will run into trouble off the court/field. Some won't put in the work. The catering greatly increases the odds of the latter two. Then most will simply just not be good enough to make it to the pros. Either way, it all adds up to a long shot and the kids need to have solid plan Bs. A few years back my HS had the #1 RB recruit on the nation. He originally committed to UGA but flipped to Bama and was getting decent playing time as a true freshman before obliterating his ankle. He was never the same again after that. Never made it to the pros. Not sure what happened to him but evidently he wasn't the brightest bulb and was basically just getting passed through school to stay academically eligible. I don't think he was a bad kid, never really heard anything like that. He just wasn't all that bright and all the eggs were in the football basket.

      Ekwonu contract

      Our current hand is to pick up his fifth year option and then we have up to two more years to work on developing him and evaluating him.

      Ekwonu contract

      By Basbear · Posted

      That's just our current hand, its unfortunate. No easy solution and damned if you, damned if you don't.  Signing each is less wrong... Just wait until BY is up for a contract..... horn and icky will be nothing and each is super nerve wrecking...
