Do we attempt to extend Diontae this season?


Recommended Posts

Except, please show me those words. I don't see that he said that, all I see is the writer saying that he said it. 

We have the same quote we have seen about he's a Panther etc etc. Let's look at it:

Quote

“I can't control some of the stuff they put out there,” Johnson said. “I can only just come in and here and continue to be the player I have been since I got here in April. I'm not really worried about it. Whatever happens, happens. I'm locked in with the Panthers right now.”

That is what is in the article. Then there is Canales saying this:

Quote

 

Panthers coach Dave Canales did his best to quell the trade rumors at his news conference.

“My job is to do the best things to put the best 11 guys out there,” Canales said. "We love the guys that are developing in the progression that we have, so I don't see that happening.”

 

fuging 'journalists' these days. This is not accurate reporting. No attribution to the claims made within. Print it though....

This didn't age well. I don't know where you got that impression in the first place. I have half-way followed Johnson over the years, and I don't remember him saying anything like that, even as a Steeler.

The Panthers wide receiver said Wednesday that he'd prefer to remain in Carolina and sign a long-term contract, but acknowledged his future is largely out of his hands.

I mean what was he going to say- "Get me outta HERE!!!" He posted a "ineed money gif" Instagram. He will go to the highest bidder like 90% of the players. Given the insane WR market, I doubt the panthers can be that. If some team is offering a 3rd or elite team offers a 2nd, you take that and still try to resign him in the off-season

The deal is dalton is a FA and i doubt he wants any part of BY, unless panthers are the highest number in guarantees

before the season I would have said nah, but he legit looks  like a dude you build an offense around, like that good.  I think he bumps heads in crowded WR rooms, but he's good when he's the one leading the room.  He is a diva, but he also is fuging good, so let him be everyones darling and we can all be happy.

I haven’t seen or heard anything from Diontae as a Panther suggesting he’s a poor teammate or diva. Maybe Pickens is the diva and difficult to share targets with. Idk, but I do know we should lock him up with a 3-4 year contract if he’ll take 22ish mil per year. If not, tag him and find a suitor.

Where is the source for that information? It doesn't appear true from conflicting articles ive read. Should we place a wager whether he signs here or not since you are 100% sure he wont? Sounds like an easy win for you.

    • What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.
    • With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking. 
    • We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
