Smith either hates Jarrett, or sees a lot of potential

4/21/2008 6:13:41 PM

probably a little of both

hopefully Smitty and Moose can help him get his shit together

4/21/2008 6:18:52 PM

^^haha at smitty at the end of that article

Quote :

"They re-signed Muhsin Muhammad, who was released by the Bears. Muhammad turns 35 in May, spent nine seasons with Carolina after he was picked in the second round of the 1996 draft and still holds three club records. "A lot of people look at (his) age, but I think he's like fine wine," Smith said."

4/21/2008 7:03:49 PM

haha... WRAL story on Torry and Terrence Holt. Talking about how Torry wants to play for the Panthers and Terrence telling Fox that they were a package deal.

Steve Smith even chimed in and talked about how nice it would be.

How nice would that be?

4/21/2008 11:27:37 PM

Rucker probably going to announce his retirement today

^^

I saw that too.

bad

ass

4/22/2008 11:11:16 AM

i know torry was joking just a bit, but he seems like he really wants to leave st. louis for charlotte.

wonder what the rams thought about the interview

4/22/2008 11:53:41 AM

he has said that many times over the last few years, it would be sweet

4/22/2008 12:03:08 PM

we just re-signed rod smart

4/22/2008 12:16:49 PM

i love torry for what he did at state but hate torry for being a UNC fan

4/22/2008 12:19:38 PM

Fonoti looks to possibly be a decent pickup

Before:



Present:


Definitely not pushing 400 pounds anymore

4/22/2008 12:37:15 PM

word...cause everything i heard about him was that he was dominant before he gained a bunch of weight...thats good to see though

4/22/2008 12:39:37 PM

I cant believe Rucker is retiring, he was drafted in 1999, thats only ~7 years of service

I know that your body takes a lot of damage in the NFL, but damn that just seems like a short ass career

4/22/2008 12:40:14 PM

he gave 9 solid years...i'm guessing he just wanted to get out before he had a really bad injury or something...plus he's lost some of his motor

4/22/2008 12:43:24 PM

I don't think he was quite ready to retire yet, but when it became clear that he wouldn't get an offer here, and it came down to either move somewhere else or retire, he decided he didn't want to try to restart his career somewhere else. He played nearly every single game over those years, so the wear and tear on him was probably worse than most guys.

4/22/2008 12:54:41 PM

we need to pick up Shaun Alexander for $cheap$.

He will be the next Steven Davis!!!!

4/22/2008 6:24:09 PM

About Rucker...9 years is alot in the trenches. Average NFL career is what 2-3 years?

About S. Alexander as next S. Dave...yeah right..only in a contract year. That man is scared to take a hit, and just does not have that burst to get through the hole. He should retire before he hurts himself.

4/22/2008 11:27:41 PM

I don't really care for Alexander but I'll still post this

4/23/2008 10:05:48 AM

I am of course kidding when I say he will be the next SD for us, but we really don't have any experienced RBs on the team...

I think he will come very cheaply to whoever picks him up and ya gotta think there is a chance he could rebound in the face of the "getting cut" humiliation...

ftw....

also according to ESPN insider:

Quote :

" This is a great pick by Carolina based on John Fox's run-heavy philosophy. This will also give QB Jake Delhomme more spacing in the passing game. With the concerns about whether DeAngelo Williams can be the guy at RB, Stewart can carry the ball on first and second down. Williams can then become a change-of-pace back. On top of that, he has the ability to return kickoffs and improve the Panthers' return game. He is an explosive player to the hole and displays a second gear when going through the hole. He reminds us of former Panthers running back Stephen Davis. "

PANTHERS MOVE UP TO GRAB JEFF OTAH!!!

THANKS PHILLY

4/26/2008 5:17:28 PM

^eh, thanks for now.... got f'd in the a for later

4/26/2008 5:18:59 PM

Tells you that the panthers expect to make the playoffs if they trade 1st rounder for next year...

4/26/2008 5:25:42 PM

for our sake, lets just hope the media doesnt expect that

4/26/2008 5:29:47 PM

how did we get that pick from philly?

4/26/2008 6:05:10 PM

we gave them the moon

4/26/2008 6:10:38 PM

and mars too.

4/26/2008 6:12:38 PM

well even though i didnt want a rb in the first pick, i'm gonna try to be optimistic and hope this is a 1st round pick that pans out...panthers are what, like 3/10 in picking decent 1 round picks?

4/26/2008 9:17:28 PM

4/26/2008 9:32:12 PM

any thoughts on maybe picking up Dennis Dixon with their next pick?

4/27/2008 11:37:03 AM

id go booty or even ainge over dixon...he just doesnt seem to fit

4/27/2008 12:49:33 PM

Booty would be ideal but I just don't see him still in it unless we trade up.

4/27/2008 12:54:02 PM

after we trades the farm to Philly for Otah I don't think we have anything left to trade

4/27/2008 1:14:59 PM

Barnidge? has anyone heard of this guy?

4/27/2008 1:55:30 PM

http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/scoutingreports/te/garybarnidge.html

4/27/2008 1:57:42 PM

So QB's left are Woodson, Ainge, Brennan, Johnson, Dixon?

4/27/2008 2:07:47 PM

I'd love to get Dixon...if he hadn't gotten injured last season he would've been a Heisman finalist and a 1st round pick

and the Steelers just took him

[Edited on April 27, 2008 at 2:40 PM. Reason : damn you pitt]

4/27/2008 2:36:47 PM

Woodson, Ainge, Brennan, Johnson, Dixon

[Edited on April 27, 2008 at 2:59 PM. Reason : ainge]

4/27/2008 2:58:02 PM

if we're going to try and get a QB we should probably go ahead and trade up now and get Woodson.. have 1 6th and 3 7th's left

4/27/2008 3:00:25 PM

i really dont know where all the 'draft a QB' stuff started anyway...why do we need a QB...Delhomme, Moore, Basanez

4/27/2008 3:01:52 PM

the QB situation was already vastly improved by dumping Carr anyway

4/27/2008 3:02:33 PM

If we are going to move up we would have the 6th and 7(a) along with next years picks or a player to do it. The compensatory picks 7(b) and 7(c) can not be traded.

4/27/2008 3:02:39 PM

cuz they all suck

4/27/2008 3:02:41 PM

^^ahh didn't realize the other 2 7th's were compensatory

4/27/2008 3:04:49 PM

^^so what superstar QBs are in the draft that are better than our current QBs?

4/27/2008 3:30:41 PM

Hilee Taylor?

What is this UNC nonsense?

4/27/2008 6:06:32 PM

^^^ he's a good passrusher, but i would've rather seen us pick up ali highsmith
