All Panther fans that say we overpaid...

[Peppermint9030]

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?

You tell em

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.

same thing can be said about all the panthers fans that were hating all over Cam Newton and are now riding his nuts.

A Moron will always be a moron.

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...

So your dissing on fans that say we we over-payed... by telling them we over-payed

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 thought Pep left cause we didn't offer him a contract after his last year. After his mil per game, we didn't renegotiate so he left

I retract my comment. I forgot about Moose leaving for more money.

They had to give CJ the big time money because:

1. He was the reason why they felt comfortable letting Peppers leave.

2. CJ would have gone to Atlanta and wreaked havoc on his former team twice a year for the next five years.

We HAD to overpay lol so don't complain about us overpaying

Deserved its own thread, welcome back.

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.
