Did you just call Beason a bust?

I will hunt you down if for real.

I think his point was rather obvious... lol

I cannot post slower for Bwood lol..

I was attempting to be humorous making fun of the OP and other supporters of Cut him after one game threads.... So cutting Gamble and Double trouble is Okay then?!

[Swaggasaurus]

Hogan had a contact ACL tear. That poo isn't no hangnail and some of you cocksuckers have been screaming "omgeeeeeez its been 2 years since his injury, he gotta go" for like 1 year. It's a goddamn CONTACT ACL, it makes TDs injury a fuging ankle sprain in comparison

Some of the hogan hate on here is unreal, rivera said that he had a problem with his quad that he needed to get fixed(don't know if that meant surgery or rest) and was lifting quite well with his leg in the weight room. Ron seemed optimistic about him, I wouldn't be too worried

You forget that 90% of the board wanted to cut Gamble prior to last year. Screamed for his head ever since the Minisotta KR debacle and especially after Foxy benched him in 2010. When he was injured last TC, oh you should re-read some of the "off with his head" comments on here.

The screams for cutting Hogan, though unreasonable and unfounded, are nothing new to our knee-jerk fanbase.

"(Brandon) had a good day today," Rivera said. "He was in the weight room and did some real heavy lifting on the leg. He had a problem with his quad on the knee that was repaired. We've got to get that stronger so he can get back on the field."

No pass deflections, no interceptions. Only 3 tackles in 3 games. How the hell was he a baller?

Stats for corners mean nothing. Ill give you stats and you tell me if a guy had a good game, horrible game or didnt even play.

0 pass deflections

0 interceptions

0 tackles.

It could be any of the three options. You have to watch the games and ignore the stats for corners and Hogan is the second or third best corner on this team. So yeah cut him!!!

obviously you didn't pay attention to his game play while assuming stats are the only thing that matters.

dude was a baller.

Players, especially CBs and DTs, can play well without much to show for on the stat sheet. Their job is more preventative, less reactionary. Admittedly, I'm only going off the eyeball test, and with about 9 months to fade my memory, but I remember him playing well. Same way guys like Gamble and Asomugha play well without much on the stat sheet. Not saying he played like them, but CB is the worst position to call someone a nonproducer because of a lack of stats. I'd be more interested to know what his average successful pass against him (or whatever that one that Revis was #1 and Gamble was #2 in) was like. That, and average yards after the catch against him, things like that. Things that actually measure his effectiveness. Not that there was much to go on, but I suspect he would have fared well in those measures for a rookie CB just recovering from an injury.

Why'd you have to go and make the same point as me, but more succinctly, while I was in the middle of typing my novel that some people are going to take the time to post a comment that they didn't take the time to read it! Damn you!

[toldozer]

Lol pie for you. My bad!!!!

For what it's worth, my post earlier wasn't trying to say that Hogan played awfully last year. I was simply pointing out that he only really had one "good" play. He did play his coverage pretty decent for the most part. I just thought "baller" was a fairly over exaggerated adjective to be applied to his play last year.

I have been on here since the Gross draft...i think... Or was that the official board? I am still quite suprised at people not understanding injury or preseason. Sure I may be guilty with give Otah another chance but I think the panthers gave him the right amount of chances and subsequent cut.

The Ron Rivera must go( or he has done nothing!) crowd may be another level...for me...they make me hate understanding the internets.

Hogan Island, brother?

people want to cut Hogan despite his stellar man coverage skills last year.. I think baller is valid adjective to use considering most can't remember how nice Hogan was compared to any second CB ready to start for the Panthers in the last 7 years...

but Josh Norman is considered by many to lock up that #2 CB position... lol
