Another 'what if'. What if there was no lock-out looming?

You know, it makes me wonder ... What if a lock-out wasn't looming in the near future? What if the CBA was all hammered out and players and management were all happy? It was blatantly obvious JR went into bargain mode and refused to shell out any bucks for anyone. I think we're a young team simply due to money. Not that they "wanted" to rebuild. JR & Co. basically said, "Screw it. We're going to go ultra conservative due to financial constraints possible in the future."

Now, I myself hate "what if" threads, but this year stinks beyond any comparison. So where do you think we would be at this year giving a normal spending? The Panthers are conservative as it is, but certainly a lot could have been avoided if the lockout wasn't looming.

thoughts?

What if you ate 10 pounds of nails and got an MRI?

What if your dad would have just stayed in the shower for 4 more minutes?

      Corbett might not be gone

      By MHS831 · Posted

      If we are going to spend the money anyway, maybe the signing is not as bad as it seems.  Mays outperformed Corbett (before his injury and if you go back to last year, Corbett has been below average) and then Christensen took the job and Mays quickly took it from him and never looked back.  He could use improvement reaching to the next level (LBs) but picking up stunts and blitzes---he was surprisingly good.  Run blocking needs some work, but he is 25.  Corbett, in my view, should be G/C depth and if Mays steps back, he is there.  Mays should start because this team is building for the future and 30 year old players are not building blocks.  We shall see.  That is how I think about it, but there are many factors we do not know. Having said that, I like what Zavala is doing, and I do not want to bring in someone who would take opportunities away from him.  Zavala was really good at RG down the stretch, and in limited duty, was awesome. In fact, we have a guard from the PS who played briefly and did well, but he only played a few plays.  He is 25 and I recall that fans of his former team were upset when we signed him.   Maybe as the backup center only (Corbett).  You need 2 centers to run practices efficiently.  I cannot say enough about the OL coaches on this staff.  What they have done is overshadowed by the Lewis / Hunt signing.  Mays, Ekwonu, Zavala--impressive growth.
