As of yesterday, Panthers currently 4th cheapest team in NFC...


Recommended Posts

that's actually a very good number considering how much talent we have. surprised it's that low, even with all the cuts lately.

Agreed. Considering we have Davis, Beason, J-Stew and D-Will, Smitty, Gamble, Otah and Kalil and Gross, etc etc all under contract...that's impressive. If any of those guys were to hit free agency they'd land massive contracts. The Panthers do well at giving enough without going insane (let's just NOT remember the whole Jake contract though....)

that's some good company we keep. 3 out of 4 losing teams.

We are only that low because of the contracts we dumped. We have many roster spots to fill...and our number will go up.

The other teams have been that low for several years....thus why they suck.

We are positioned to be able to retain our young starts....while being ready for next year's FA class (which should be very, very good). All of those 4 yr FA's that becasue RFA this year will hit the market next year.

I would rather not over pay this year and win the lottery next year....even if it means a mediocre 2010 season.

agreed. plus, it's still early. there will be money spent on a lot of 1-2 year deals to fill up the roster.

i'd be very surprised if we didn't have the full 80 roster spots going into TC. there is a lot of room to bring in some good value still.

Well that is one way to look at it. OR you could be happy we have a team with decent pieces while teams like the LIONS 106, Broncos 105 and Browns have few young pieces to be real proud of. OR teams like the Redskins and Raiders who overpay for mediocre talent. Whatever some say cheap i say smart business.

    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game.  and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important. 
    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?
