So we don't have a game for ten days - let's talk about some non-pressing issues. Apologies if it's been mentioned before. Where has Frank been? Obviously a bad sign that he's been inactive for a couple of games and he's had zero impact during the games he's dressed for. Past two years he's been great as a 'change of pace' pass rusher. If he keeps this up, Hardy's gonna take us to the cleaners. Wonder if this is destined to be another Hurney folly...

Saw him last night applying some pressure but not really getting off his blocks.

"DON'T RESIGN HARDY, FRANK IS THE SAME!"

Hardy's awesome - but he definitely benefits from having CJ over there. CJ is a pretty amazing all-around DE, if you look at the advanced stats from PFF, etc. I'm not sure how'd Hardy would be as a one-man show. Ray Edwards-esque, maybe? He's gonna demand a ton, and I don't think he's going to live up to it. Gettleman undoubtedly knows this but he may have to pay him anyway.

Hardy will not get the jackpot he wants here.  He can read the writing on the wall and sign with a team that will be a perennial playoff team for the next 12 years or test the open market.

 

I want him to stay, but there are too many upcoming contracts to give him Hurney money.  We can make him a main cog but we cannot afford to make him a made man.

 

Oh, and Frank is about what Hardy was at the same juncture in their respective careers, without the trouble.  I love Kraken but Hurney screwed us good for the next 3 years. 

 

Dumpster diving coming up.

Can't really and truly tell by the bucs game, there oline was getting away with alot of holds

 

It was insane the amount holds the Bucs were getting away with.  It was the worst I've seen in a game that I can remember.  It all became clear to me when I saw who the officiating crew was though...Boger's.  Worst officiating crew in the NFL.  I was literally yelling at my computer screen over the holds that were getting ignored.

Can't see how Gettleman, who has spent most of his time with the Panthers trying to renegotiate Hurney's bloated contracts, would increase the team's previous offer to Hardy.

 

Either Hardy comes to terms with the Panther's offer or he moves on to another team.

 

There has STILL been nothing even remotely official or reliable that has indicated an offer was made or that Hardy rejected anything.

The Falcons were making moves to snag CJ at the end of his first contract, and we blew them away with a huge contract. Here's hoping ATL doesn't come sniffing around again for Hardy. Finding a guy like Hardy, with his size and speed, you usually have to spend a high pick. I'd rather offer him a favorable (but not CJ crazy) deal. Alexandar should remain a rotational guy imo. Keep Kracken.

      What's your confidence level in Canales?

      Getting any level of competition and cohesion out of this roster is a job well done.

      Not sure if anyone else is watching this D1-AA championship game but I don't know if these receivers have NFL athleticism but they got HANDS. These boys can flat out CATCH. This is a good football game.

      NFL Week 18 Games

      People on here are wrong all the time. I mean some of our best draft picks people didn't like initially due to various reasons. On the other hand there have been a multitude of decisions made by people who are paid very well to know what they're doing that some Panthers fans here saw as a mistake a mile away. Well look man let's put all the chips on the table. Because your grievance is particularly about the QB position. The Panthers have had only two long term starting franchise QB's in 30 years. Thirty years. Two. This fanbase has seen a hell of a lot of poor to mediocre QB play and even short lived fairy tales like the Kyle Allen win streak or going back even further Matt Moore. As far as Darnold and Mayfield goes I think they are certainly overachieving but I don't think anyone here that was critical of either of them were wrong. They both had a heaping portion of humble pie here that has served them greatly now. Mayfield in particular because when he first got here he was still a cocky idiot. Darnold at least kept his head down and did his job for the most part. But I have a hard time seeing either of them going far in the playoffs because in the midst of some of their best games I've seen the same flawed QB's. Darnold is no Nick Foles let's be real with one another here. Baker specifically looked like hot garbage against our defense in Charlotte recently. And those best teams in the playoffs have all that on film and damn well know about it too if average fans like us can see it.
