All Panther fans that say we overpaid...

Please just shut up already I'm reading these threads and you sound like morons. We HAD to pay that much, what is our defense without Charles Johnson who's tempted by his hometown 12-4 franchise? You HAD to give him a huge deal...Beason deserves that money if not more, and frankly I'm not satisfied with just Stewart and Goodson... and btw Thomas Davis was getting 10+ tackles a game before he was hurt. You would be the same people complaining about JR not spending anything If Johnson, and Williams walked, and your the same people that bitch when its hot out, hate the fall, and complain when it's cold...Name me another last place franchise that kept their most talented free agent's and have them motivated?

The fact is that Hurney has only once had a good Panther player leave in FA because he got overbid. That was the bitch Julius Peppers. Hurney overpays his guys. Always has, always will.

If I'm correct we offered Pepper's a hefty deal, but he left because he didn't want to play here anymore...And your right losing Moose didn't hurt us at all...

According to Peppers, and you can look this up if you don't believe me, Peppers would have stayed in Carolina for $6 million more than Marty offered him.

LOL like Julius is the "victim" in all of this.

I would have rather overpaid Charles Johnson than give it to the still unproven Cam Newton. CJ has the potential to be a top 10 or maybe top 5 DE. Other than a franchise QB, it's tough to overpay a guy like that. Especially one who just turned 25 and is also stout against the run.

Maybe the Panthers overpaid for CJ right now, but as people have noted, we had to in order to make sure he didn't sign with the Falcons. And also, that deal will look a lot better in a couple of years when the salary cap balloons to $140M and other DE's deals will dwarf what CJ got.

      Anyone know XL’s drop % rate?

      After the Chiefs game a 6'5 X would really help in the Red zone. I would also love to add Slayton in FA

      But again, you can restock a defense through free agency much easier than offensive skill positions. Spend all our cap space on defense, take a true elite prospect who also happens to fit a position of need in T-Mac, and then use the rest of our picks on defense. Again, every season there’s a smattering of great DL, LB, and DB options in free agency, a Top 10 WR never hits free agency, ever.  The only way you get one is through the draft or giving up 1st round picks in a trade for one. If he’s there when we’re on the clock, he has to be the pick, he’s just that good.

      It must be an early Christmas for JT O'Sullivan having Thielen back so he could put a coal in Thielen's stocking every chance he gets.  Honestly, the biggest surprise is not so much the anticipation. There were those moments here and there last year as well. It's that even that one positive quality he had seemingly vanished his first two games to where it looked like it was all but over, only for it to start coming back some until you get exclamation points all over this game film. And some of those throws were under a lot of duress, something I feel is something new. Finally, those deeper shots are starting to land. Not all of them, but enough that defenses may have to start respecting them. No guarantees whether this will end up as more of anomaly but I certainly hope it isn't. The Green Bay game was a sampler of what BY could be. Against KC, we got a meal. If we could start getting these meals regularly, we might actually have something to work with here.
