The Panthers can't afford to take a QB in the first-round. Jake has a big contract, Carr has a pretty good-sized contract and Moore played admirably in the games he was in.

We need to drop some dead weight and free-up some cap room or we won't be able to keep anyone or go after anyone.

Some of yall need to creep up on http://car.scout.com/ and talk some sense into some of our fans. There are 2 guys always griping about appalachian state towards each other. One is a APP homer, the other a APP hater. I saw the discussion on this board and would LOVE for yall to bring it on over there!!!

Ryan Cladys at OT is my pick in the 1st round, then Kevin Smith in the 2nd round.

1/22/2008 11:35:14 PM

clady wont make it to 13

1/22/2008 11:40:43 PM

I've seen crazier things happened.

1/22/2008 11:47:52 PM

not when 5 teams in front of the panthers need an OT

1/22/2008 11:49:32 PM

I feel like everything is still up in the air especially before combine and personal workouts.

kasay is only under contract through 2008...my guess is he'll be gone after that.

1/30/2008 5:41:00 PM

steve smith and chad johnson on the same team = best WR duo and biggest ego package in the league

they've been teammates before.. maybe it could work?

well there goes that one

1/30/2008 6:09:32 PM

that contract extension isnt going to mean shit when he either demands for a trade or they cut him

1/30/2008 6:14:06 PM

our receiving corps definitely needs Ocho more than the Bungles WRs need Smitty

1/30/2008 6:16:06 PM

here is a heads up

you need an offensive line
a running back
and a DE thats worthy of his contract

apparently, the Panthers were able to free up some significant cap space by some nifty accounting moves.

Rucker not retiring; but may not play for Panthers next season

2/4/2008 12:52:18 PM

^I hope they're not offering him anything more than a minimum contract. Save that money for someone else younger.

2/4/2008 4:01:59 PM

the way they're talking, it sounds to me like they don't expect him to be back.....it'd be sad to see him go, but much better than overpaying for a player past his prime.

2/4/2008 4:16:54 PM

yeah he was a solid player for us but its about that time

Big Tuna is making a Big Mistake

Quote :

"The Miami Dolphins continued rounding out their coaching staff on Monday. New head coach Tony Sparano named Dan Henning the team's offensive coordinator. A 28-year NFL veteran, Henning was most recently the Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator from 2002-06. In that time, the Panthers advanced to the NFC Championship Game twice, losing the 2003 Super Bowl to the New England Patriots. This will be Henning's second go-around with the Dolphins, coaching quarterbacks and wide receivers under Don Shula in 1979-80. Henning has been a head coach in the NFL twice, with the Atlanta Falcons (1983-86) and San Diego Chargers (1989-91). In December, Bill Parcells was named executive vice president of football operations to turn around the 1-15 Dolphins. Shorty thereafter, he fired coach Cam Cameron, who led the team for only one season, and most of his staff. Sparano, the former Cowboys assistant head coach, was hired as head coach of Miami in January."

YOU DONT TALK ABOUT HENNING


j/k

2/4/2008 10:49:36 PM

i don't know. It's not like the offense improved alot when Henning is gone.

2/4/2008 11:06:42 PM

hard to compare with the QB situation

Jake was fine this season when healthy

2/4/2008 11:30:02 PM

^ exactly

2/4/2008 11:31:46 PM

8td like 1 int right?

2/6/2008 3:22:55 AM

here is a small article on 85 and the panthers. Just a interesting read, but i agree with it.

2/10/2008 2:22:11 PM

yes, let's do that

2/10/2008 2:29:30 PM

randy moss to the panthers!

2/10/2008 2:31:08 PM

i'd love to get ocho but i fully expect him to be in a bengals uniform next season

in other news, the Panthers reached an agreement/extension with DT Damione Lewis...good move imo

2/10/2008 2:44:53 PM

i agree he was been a pretty soild player since he has been with the team

2/10/2008 2:51:30 PM

Lewis is resigned. Hopefully, Gross will resign before the Feb 21st franchise deadline. I hope they let Wharton go. He got beat repeatedly like last year.

2/10/2008 3:09:13 PM

Somebody cue the BYE picture up.

Don't post it yet, but have it ready, whenever it goes down.

"DESHAUN FOSTER ON WAY OUT? by Michael David Smith There's increased talk coming out of the Carolinas that the Panthers could part ways with running back DeShaun Foster during the off-season, and perhaps sooner rather than later. The Charlotte Observer reports that the Panthers would save about $4.75 million on their 2008 salary cap if they cut Foster, who is heading into the final season on his contract. And the Winston-Salem Journal reports that the Panthers could try to trade Foster and then cut him if they can't find any takers. Foster was the Panthers' leading rusher in 2007, with 247 carries for 876 yards. But he wasn't their most effective rusher, as DeAngelo Williams averaged a full yard and a half more per carry than Foster, finishing the season with 144 carries for 717 yards. Considering that Williams is 24 and Foster is 28, the Panthers must see Williams as playing a bigger role in the franchise's future than Foster. And that means Foster is likely on the way out."

Panthers cut LB Dan Morgan and LG Mike Wahle

http://community.heraldonline.com/blog/darin

2/11/2008 4:21:10 PM

well that'll free up some space D:

2/11/2008 4:21:35 PM

I don't get the Wahle move, he has been solid the past 2 years.

2/11/2008 4:26:56 PM

BAM! Spirderman go down BAM! Xmen go down! All of them niggas is going down! Punisher be taking they ass out!



Xmen take out the Punisher!



Xmen baby stuff homes! All them costumes and powers ain't shit! Punisher the real dope, homie!

2/11/2008 4:27:49 PM

What about Justin Hartwig? I think Ryan Kalil could do the job at center.

2/11/2008 4:33:21 PM

Wahle is/was one of our highest paid players so that'll be good to help the cap number

2/11/2008 4:42:28 PM

watch, now Dan Morgan gonna sign with the Patriots and go to the pro bowl.

2/11/2008 8:34:32 PM

thank god we cut Morgan's sorry ass

2/11/2008 9:17:40 PM

I wish we should have kept him at minimum salary as a backup MLB. He already know the system, and he can't get hurt as much as a backup.

99% of football players can't get hurt as much if playing a backup position instead of a starter

Morgan is in the other 1%

from sportsline...Panthers 1 of 5 teams to get back on track in 2008:

Quote :

"The situation is clear here: Either John Fox wins, or the Panthers join the bidding for Bill Cowher. Simple as that. So Fox knows what he must do, and what he must do is find a playmaker not named Steve Smith. Smith can't keep carrying this offense, and the Panthers have known it for years. That's why they signed Keyshawn Johnson in 2006, and that's why they drafted DeAngelo Williams and Dwayne Jarrett. So which of them made Smith's life easier? Johnson tried, but it didn't work out. Williams and Jarrett? The Panthers are waiting. Anyway, Carolina absolutely, positively must find another impact receiver and improve the league's 14th-ranked rushing game; otherwise Fox joins the unemployment line. Jake Delhomme returns as a healthy quarterback, and that is nothing but good. Without him last season the Panthers sank to their second consecutive losing season, one reason Fox is in a pickle. Neveretheless, they might've gained more than they lost because they were forced to play undrafted rookie Matt Moore, and tell me he doesn't look like Delhomme's successor. A virtual unknown, Moore gained a chance only because third-stringer Brett Basanez was hurt, but Moore made the most of his opportunity. He beat Seattle and Tampa Bay and looked like someone the Panthers can count on if Delhomme goes missing again. I believe in the Panthers because the NFC South is wide open, because Delhomme is healthy and because Fox is under fire. He cannot fail again. "
