In my experience 80% of people who leave Charlotte to go and live elsewhere end up coming back. I've seen it too many times.

Lots of stars have homes here on the low.

Charlotte is convient and has good weather compared to the rest of the country in 15 years it is going to be like LA. They have jobs and affordable housing which is a main factor.

We just hired a Tampa 2 Coordinator who uses his DEs strictly for pass rushing. When was the last time you saw Dwight Freeney or Robert Mathis drop back into coverage?? Pep will get just as many opportunities to rush the passer in our scheme as he would in the 3-4.

Good point but I think he just want to physically move somewhere else. He grew up all his life in NC.

All please tell me why Charlotte is so great then? Defiantly not the people or the city. It is a small city that great into a medium sized city. The people there act like they are better than you and cant stand it when people tell them how much it sucks. Lived there for 5 years.

Generally, when someone says "the people act like they are better than you..." it's a sign that the speaker suffers from low self-esteem. Look into the mirror and repeat after me...

I'm good enough

I'm smart enough

And doggone it, people like me.

True, but as I recall he does have a patch with a "C" on his jersey.

He didn't vote himself Captain, I think they can reject the nomination, but that would make him look even worse. Of course you know all this.

No matter who the defensive coordinator is, they're running Fox's defense. He's tired of that passive, vanilla John Fox defense. It's basically a prevent defense all the time.

Why? He's pretty passive himself. In fact, if you could put Ronnie Lott, LT, or Dick Butkus' brain in his body...then you have somebody worth 17 million per year.

But do you not expect someone that is condiered "the face of the franchise" to step up and be a leader? I feel we got more leadership from someone like Hoover who makes a hell of alot less than we did him.

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
