Anyone else get the feeling Kugzilla will go to IR

I agree, it seems we've seen this scenario plenty before, smokescreen of "Not that serious, don't expect it to go on..." and then bang, IR.

 

Honestly, I think he's gonna be one of the ones in this draft that doesn't pan out. How often does all of your picks really make it for your team? I think we did pretty dang good, we got two DT's who will contribute quite a bit, a scat back who will find the field and a solid LB back up player. Not bad I say. I say between all of the above and the OG, the OG is the one that goes first. Give it a few years. We've seen this before.

With the new rules, I wouldn't be surprised...

I was blasted for being concerned about his injury in a thread a while back and now it looks like others are concerned as well.

We've been hearing the "one more week" line for the past month and Kugbila has still yet to even suit up.

I don't know if they are waiting for him to get to 120% or just being overly cautious about his injury, but a hamstring injury shouldn't take a month to recover from. If I'm not mistaken, he didn't practice much in mini-camp due to a hamstring injury as well.

Remember that Godzilla movie where all the Japanese people are sh!tting bricks and running through the streets, but it turns out Godzilla's on a stationary bike and not actually getting anywhere?

Me neither.

Can we stop with the bitchin' nickname until the guy plays an actual down of tackle football?

IF he can never stay healthy, and that's a huge IF as the guy has barely started his NFL career. These are the guys I was looking for us to draft at that point:

 

Round 4

Shamarko Thomas S- Syracuse - drafted by Steelers

Philip Thomas S- Fresno State- drafted by Redskins

William Gholston- DE Michigan State- drafted by Tampa Bay

Quinton Patton -WR Louisiana Tech- drafted by 49ers **** this is the guy I really wanted

Ok guys, I am going to say something that I probably shouldn't because I love my team.  But, the Panthers have been stretching the legal use of the Injured Reserve for years to stash players who were not seriously injured to circumvent the rules on roster limits. This give us a competitive advantage for many reasons.  They circumvent the Cap penalty by working in whats called a "split" contract where the player only receives half his salary if he is placed on IR.

Might have done it again with Gaydosh. I'm sure he was injured, but to what extent was never mentioned.
