Hoover released...

[Sam Mills Fan]

WOW this shocked the hell out of me. Sounds like Harris isn't too pleased either.

[scpanther22]

Its funny how people can make excuses.

I think the panthers are cutting cost.They will worry about the team on the field later..lol

Fox must be having a heart attack now..lol

[The Link]

Harris is next...

[holderoftruth]

It's amazing to me that there are only three players 30+ on the roster and two of which are kickers/punters.

Cmon now lets get rid of Kasay, Baker, Harris and trade Williams and Smitty ( he may ask for a trade). This team is just getting younger and better by the day. Pretty soon we will have no one over 25 and be the best ever. This addition by substraction is great. Maybe we should just get rid of everyone then we are super bowl bound for sure!!

[DaveThePanther2008]

Though Hoover was valuable, I think he was a good mentor for Fiammatta. Tony F should be ready. No better way to make them ready then to put them on the front line. I think he will be up for the challenge.

Go Panthers

That could change any day now.

I think we should just recruit HS kids directly and build a 10 year dynasty.

Edit: Plus they might do it for minimum wage.

[southcakalac]

Wow! Didn't see this coming. Fiamatta had better be ready.

[Cheetodude]

What

the....?????

I've been ok with the moves up to this point, but Fiametta didn't show me ANYTHING that gave me a little bit of confidence. What's going on? :confused:

This is a chemistry move. Hoover and Delhomme were very tight and Hoover may not have his head on straight about the change. Wonder if he had some words about it to Marty or Fox, if so, this is a nice little message to anyone else with words.

So when I read this I focused on "may not have his head on straight..." I had visions of Moore taking a snap and Hoooooovvvvveerrrrrr going nuts when he realizes it's not Jake and tackling Moore for a 3 yard loss.

The NFL is a young man's game.

I loved Hoover as a player. But, he is old and coming off back problems. Sometimes you have to make tough decisions.

The risk in what the Panthers are not doing does not lie with talent. The players behind the guys getting cut are younger and prob more talented.

The risk is with veteran leadership and how this plays out in the locker room.

D.Will and J.Stew cant be happy about this.And D.Will is in a contract year.

Yea as I recall Fiammetta was high character guy and Carolina was his dream team. He's has the potential to be better than Hoov, let's hope he makes the best of it.
