Like many of us, I am trying to read the tea leaves in order to get some whiff of insight into the minds of our FO.

Now, they haven't given us much, but we do know that they have entertained the idea of J.P. Losman and Derrick Burgess. And there have been some weaker speculation about Pat White. I am thinking that this definitely means that they are looking towards the long term future in regards to the necessity of a QB, and that Jake will be our starter for a maximum of two more years (which makes his new extension exactly what it is: a 2009 cap move). Moreover, their interest in Burgess means that all their public intimations about keeping Pep are a big smokescreen for an imminent deal that will see Pep out of Carolina very soon.

Our FO has made very smart personnel decisions and is not above surprises. This year's draft will be no different. They are doing the things that a lot of us are whining about, which is looking past Delhomme and Pep. Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas! By the end of the weekend, we will all be pleasantly surprised.

I questiont he length on Jakes contract but come draft day I trust them.

I started questioning it too but if you look at the guaranteed money...20 million. We could get out of it (if he doesn't earn a bunch of incentives) paying him 4 million bucks spread over the next 5 years...Not bad for a starting QB that won 12 games last year.

The contract is back loaded, I'm 95% sure we won't keep him for all of the 5 years, unless he like get surgery on both of his arms into high quality composite metals, Jax Delhomme.

I hope that is the case, but I don't see us dealing him today. It's my understanding that we can't trade Peppers until he signs his tender. Since he has seemed reluctant to do so unless we trade him to one of the 4 teams he wants, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that I have little to no respect left for the man. Greed is a pain in the ass.

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      By fanpanther · Posted

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.

      In my dream, we somehow luck into a top 2 pick and someone wants a QB bad and doesn’t want anyone else to jump them. Somehow we’ll probably screw up the picks anyway, but it would be nice to do even partially what Chicago did to us. We’d have to lose out, which is a decent possibility unless Tampa is resting. We need Atlanta to stay within a game because Atlanta beat Tampa twice. The rest of the draft slots are who knows because Jax plays the Raiders and then Tennessee and you never know who will rest starters. I think we are top 7 unless we somehow pull out 2 more wins. The 4 win teams have higher SOS and there is only one 5 win team with the same SOS. If we win 1 of 3, we still should stay in top 7. If we lose out and the Jax games work for us, we can easily be top 3.
