Peter King list Carolina among teams that may be interested in Cutler

[Skew]

Nooooo....

Another Cutler to Carolina thread. I didnt even read the thread I just read the title

Some people just want to be "special" by starting their own thread on the same topic.

At the end of the day it's almost all speculation, that's the name of the game - I would rate Peter King as "one of" the most reliable media sources for the NFL, how bout that?

I guess that's better... but he's still an ass.

Jay Glazer

Took the words right out of my mouth. Schefter too...but Glazer is numero uno in my book.

[carolinarolls]

no Cutler in Pantherland. They are reaching for a story and are just mixing inthe obvious. It makes sense on the surface that we would be interested since we have an all pro defender that we cannot deal and we have a poor QB and that is all a reporter on the 4-letter needs to mention it as a possibility.

Carolina will not make a play. They cannot do anything even if they wanted too.

okay, who would you rate above peter king?

Peter King is a joke of a journalist and by no means a "reliable media source for the NFL." I'm not saying this because it is my opinion. King is an opinion columnist. He does not nor never has presented himself as an "insider". Everything he puts out is purely opinion based. Jay Glazer, Mort, Scheftner, hell even the crept keeper are insiders but King is not.

Please note that I'm not saying that his information is wrong. It very well could be correct but if it is he got the information from one of the guys I listed above. That's what King does.

You guys clearly don't get it. There is a secret number of threads that need to be created before a wish comes true. I think the number is somewhere around 1,486 different threads.

Right now, we are getting destroyed by the Bucs, so it looks like he will be in Tampa. Poor Lions, they don't have enough fans to create enough threads.

Peter King, the most reputable media source for the NFL had the following to say:

"Other teams are likely to be interested, including Cleveland, Minnesota, San Francisco and possibly Carolina. It's a virtual certainty that the Bucs and Jets, both without a bonafide No. 1 quarterback entering the draft, will bid aggressively for Cutler."

:shocked:

he is speculating...reaching.

he used the phrase "likely to be interested" for several teams and then had to add the "possibly" tag to carolina.

it's all an assumption based on nothing but a hunch that he has.

writing junk like that doesn't make you reputable. it makes you just another talking head trying to throw crap on the wall to see if it sticks.

[rayzor]

oh yeah...thanks for the cutler thread....it's keen!

Wow, Rayzor, are you aware that your use of logic makes you homosexual (see tags)? LOL

By a mile.

Regardless, the mention of Carolina in here is just thrown-in speculation, not based on any actual contact. Heck, you could make an argument for Cincinnati being interested because they have a franchise type QB they could swap in Carson Palmer, but could choose to go with Cutler instead since he's younger and doesn't have an injury history (diabetes isn't an injury).

Bottom Line though, a lot of national guys concentrate only on the larger stories. That's why I prefer local beat writers for inside info.

Add in that national guys can be prone to speculation that some without discernment are unable to distinguish from actual "inside info". Witness Chris Mortensen's 2006 suggestion that the Panthers were likely to dump Jake Delhomme and draft a QB in the first round next year. Also John Clayton biting hard on Marty Hurney's bluffs about trading up for Matt Ryan. People jumped all over those too, but the local guys knew better.

(heck, even some of us knew better than that)
