Panthers fans need to get use to this team being run like a business. Hurney kept fan favorites around and preached loyalty. Gettleman pays for performance and tries to save every nickel he can. Taking care of fan favorites set this franchise back years, get ready for no nonsense negotiating. I hope we resign Hardy, but this conversation is premature until we see what he does this year. He's only had one break out year thus far.

I have been thinking the best route to go is to resign Hardy and let CJ play out his contract and then let him go and Frank takes his spot. Hardy and Frank have not reached there full potential yet and wont cost as much as CJ.. I saw some things from Frank the other night that looked like improvements from last year. And by the way, Coach Eric Washington IS THAT DUDE. He is the one we need to keep.

drew brees

 

 

Brees ripped his shoulder and many teams thought his career was over, the Aints got lucky.

The Chargers also had Phillip Rivers groomed and ready to take the helm.......we got Jimmy Claussen.

In his first 5 years behind center Rivers guided the Bolts to 55 Regular Season wins.

Breesus had one great year with the Bolts, other than that his passer rating was sub 90. He became what he is today in New Orleans.

      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

      By SCO96 · Posted

      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.
