New boss not the same as the old boss.......

Now that the trade lines are open what would it take to get a disgruntled Hakeem Nicks?

About one more off-season.

But seriously, CatMan72 brings up a point to ponder upon.  If their free fall continues over the next 2 weeks and da GEE-MEN's (said with the same cadence as "dez nuts") season becomes a dumpster fire, I wonder what it would take to get a sign and trade for good ole Nicks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please note:  My first sentence ended with a preposition.

Cheap depth. My guess is he's only here because he already knows the scheme. Fua is a goner sooner than later (hopefully after Dwan is fully healed). That said, don't be surprised to see some of our preseason cuts return if we suffer anymore injuries.

He just sucks so bad. Virtually every decent run we give up is through a gap he was SUPPOSED to fill. It's almost comical.

I really wish people would stop talking about how much money we saved with this deal. We saved a grand total of $00.00

We're on the hook for 8 mil of dead money. Read the articles out there by the pros. Don't take my word for it.

[SevyDamus]

Actually your wrong we saved 2.5 mil off the whole deal .

Meh, he hasn't proven much yet. He has Hurney magic'd a lot of stuff. If Hurney had been retained he would have done some of the same stuff.

Hurney would have traded Beason under these circumstances as well.....I don't see why we would believe he wouldn't have.

Let's see how he handles Hardy and others....he hasn't shown his cards in regards to what really made Hurney a bad GM.

 

I think he at least gave a sneak peek at his cards when he played hardball with Captain.  Hurney would have paid him average starting CB money.  Gettleman made his sweat a bit and made him take backup money.

The 8 million in dead money is a result of his signing bonus. It's a sunk cost. We've already paid it, and is thus irrelevant to current decision making.

 

On a related note, how did this thread go this long without this reference? Traded Beason... Like a Boss.

It's refreshing the Panthers are serious about putting the best team on the field.

Only one player on this roster would I oblige even if he wasn't still at his peek so he could retire a Panther.

 

 

Agree with Smitty love. The man is the Panther's GOAT. No questions, no doubts.

 

But just saying, Cam spreads the ball around much better when he's not in the game.

I mean seriously! Every time the opposing team breaks a good run or a big play, I look to see who was in at DT. And 90+ percent of the time, FUA is in the game. Even if it isn't directly his fault. His mere presense make the team worse.

Fua has seen 9% of the total defensive snaps and they all came in the Giants game. 

[Mr. Scot]

Fua is still here...

 

My guess: Probably just till Dwan Edwards is healthy.

 

Realistically though, every team has outliers.

 

 

Yeah seems like our days of blind loyalty are gone and that's a good thing... I hate to see Be as on go but this move made sense AND we did right by him.

 

Pretty much.

 

You went from a sportswriter with no experience at personnel evaluation to a guy who's judged talent for over 25 years, been part of six Super Bowls and is used to having an expectation of being in contention every single year.

 

I'd say the standards have changed.

 

If you're on the team now, you gotta figure that if a guy like Beason can be traded, pretty much anyone is fair game.

How do you get a same old, new boss?
