Panther's in talks with Lafell

[cultclassiccat]

hmm

 

call me crazy but im jumping back onto the gman bandwagon and im trying to see a method to his madness. you have to or you will go full retard.  gman is doing what he said he would do.  maybe he sees more in our team than we do?  i will back off from the negative thoughts(smitty) and go along with it. getts is on a one yr "prove it" deal lol.

I want james jones

Oh sweet we're bringing Lafell back. We're all set now at WR.

[Proudiddy]

The problem is, Nicks just signed a one-year deal.  We cut Smith with no immediate replacement targeted.  We missed on Nicks.  We let Ginn walk.  We have not shown any interest in anyone else that we know of aside from Jones.  The consensus late in the season, and I'm pretty sure reporters around the team had mentioned it as well, that LaFell blew his opportunity to become the bonafide #2, and as many fans felt, he wasn't looking to be retained.  If I'm not mistaken, there was even something posted up on the Panthers website that inferred he wasn't coming back - may have been something from the staff, I can't remember.

 

So, now we blew everything else and we're bringing LaFell back?  I'm sure that does a lot for team morale.  Not to mention, what is so dissatisfying about bringing him back is, he literally deserves a minimum contract, and he likely will be getting more...  I'm guessing at least 2-3M a season.  So, that leaves us what?  2.5M or so until June?  No thanks.  I'd rather spend it on someone else and find out if they suck rather than paying a guy we know already sucks.

Steve Smith signs wih another team, Hakeem Nicks either chooses to sign elsewhere or we have no interst in him, and our primary free agent acquisition right now is Brandon Lafell.

Lovely.

What an exceptional day to be a Panther fan.

I don't think he's being brought back to be the #2. It'll probably be a small contract and he'll come into camp competing for his job.

yippee

 

 

 

for those that can't tell, that was sarcasm

[Guest Dark Knight]

He's been much better than Nicks the last two years.

Difference?

 

One has a prototypical QB with incredible ability and talent throwing him the ball.

 

The other one has a pretty average regular season QB with a lot less ability and talent (no slight to him, he will likely be a hall of famer).

 

Imagine what Nicks could've done here...  SIGH...  Wait, don't.

[MHS831]

I can imagine what Nicks did in NY--if you want to compare him to Lafell.

 

Summer workouts:  Lafell attended his, Nicks didn't

Team Meetings: Lafell was on time and present, Nicks did not always arrive on time

Injuries:  Lafell was healthy; Nicks was not

 

Don't get me wrong, I would rather have Nicks, but these are things to consider.

Something wrong Gettleman?
