Here's something I've been thinking about that kinda gives me some hope. Last season, we ended on a terrible note. A crushing, humiliating defeat caused mainly by our starting QB's utter failure to function correctly--a problem that carried into this season. This season, we end on a good note, winning our last three games, and going 4-1 after naming Moore the starter. The defense turned into a juggernaut this season, and we have a lot to build on going into 2010. We're a team on the rise.

It was mostly depressing, but there were some great moments. For me:

Panthers at Cardinals. Delhomme gets redemption (well, adequate at 90 yds, 1 TD and no INT's) while we watched Warner crumble. The similarities between that game and the previous playoff match were just too crazy.

Tampa at Carolina - the introduction of Matt Moore (I was there! Hopefully some of you guys were too). Beason showed he is absolutely an animal out there.

And then lets not forget the beautiful dismantling of both the Vikings and the Giants (via our "backup" QB). We saw the re-emergence of Smitty and saw that J-Stew can absolutely carry the rushing game by his lonesome.

....Bah, now we have the offseason and all the lameness that follows with it. Dammit, I wish the break wasn't so long!!

New Orleans at Carolina - Jonathan Stewart breaks 1,100 total yards, along with Deangelo Williams...both backs, first time in NFL history.

It was awesome being there during this, although a lot of people were wondering why my buddy and I were cheering so loud for a short run.

If anyone knows where I can get D.Will and J.Stew to sign these tickets I would love it.

As long as there is a possibility for Jake Delhomme to start for us, I will reserve my hopes until I know otherwise.

This season was as frustrating as they come. The Panthers' mantra is to run the ball and play defense. John Fox wins by running the ball and playing defense.

We achieved both this season and finished 8-8. You did what you said you like to do, and we are still mediocre. There is a problem with this, and it limits my hope for the future.

My favorite moment, Steve Smith breaks his arm and still scores the touchdown.

If Delhomme starts next year the Moore era will have been nothing more than a short-lived good dream during a nightmare lifetime.

Please resign Thomas Davis, I might cry if we Will Witherspoon him.

      Free Agents this Offseason

      By BeenPounding · Posted

      Remember our cap only counts the highest 51 contracts.  Many of these guys could be had for near or vet minimum contracts.  Cutting those contracts has no real cap ramifications.  Many of these guys played too much last year and didn't serve the role of depth players.  Even though they didn't perform as starters, they could serve a valuable depth pieces.  If we draft well, get healthy, and sign a few quality free agents, many would be in position to play a part of this team that serves both well.   Take a look at this link and you will see some interesting stats in regard to playing time.  FYI, Xavier Woods played 100% and Mike Jackson played nearly 99% of defensive snaps.  They were the only two players above 95%.  Hunt was the next highest at 93% and he missed the final game. Unrestricted FA's QB Andy Dalton - I like him, but we could get someone like Cooper Rush or Minshew for the same $$$$ we are paying him. C Austin Corbett - Incentive laden and team friendly C Brady Christensen - top swing OL pay replace Yosh Nijman TE Tommy Tremble - Lock him up now, multi-year cheap.  He's not even 25.  He will get much better. TE Ian Thomas TE Feleipe Franks - ST minimum deal WR David Moore - minimum deal RB Mike Boone DE DeShawn Williams - minimum deal (PS?) OLB Cam Gill LB Shaq Thompson - only if it is a minimum with incentives.  Think late career TD or Jeremiah Trotter.  Player coach CB Mike Jackson - He's going to cost more than we think, but keep the man!! CB Caleb Farley - minimum deal to prove it if he is FINALLY healthy S Xavier Woods S Jordan Fuller S Nick Scott S Sam Franklin - not breaking the bank.  He is ST only. S Lonnie Johnson P Johnny Hekker - if the price is right K Eddy Piñeiro LS JJ Jansen - Can't remember a bad snap over the past 10 years.  According to Google is hasn't happened since 2010.  Resign tomorrow. RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS  C Cade Mays - 3 million right of first refusal. WR Deven Thompkins - minimum deal RB Raheem Blackshear - minimum deal.  I like him, but he didn't show much when given his shot on offense. WR Velus Jones Jr. WR Dan Chisena - minimum (PS) EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS FREE AGENTS DE LaBryan Ray - It's cheap, bottom roster PS guy LB Chandler Wooten - It's cheap, bottom roster PS guy

      Joe Bady a candidate to coach the Saints

      Maybe he has grown, but his play calling/style was AWFUL when he was here. Please don't try to remember this with rose colored glasses after the fact.  Your average fan could predict the plays at home most of the time. We were not running an NFL offense and it 100% showed.  Glad he is doing well for himself, but the decision to let him go at the time was 100% right.

      And then there's this... I c certainly don't feel like parting with Canales, but the silly, speculative part of me wonders what we could get for him 😄
