at qb, maybe we could try to get alex smith, he'll prob never live up to number one pick but he'd be an improvement right now at least, and I think has the potential to be a solid player

been there

done that

1/2/2011 11:44:32 PM

we haven't had a major signing since Keyshawn ... and even then he was way past his prime

this team relies too much on the draft

1/2/2011 11:48:34 PM

1/3/2011 2:52:16 AM

Ron Rivera as Panthers next HC?

1/3/2011 12:38:28 PM

17 touchdowns on 16 games

Thats gotta be some kind of record

1/3/2011 12:38:36 PM

the scoring futility was at least a franchise record for a season

1/3/2011 12:41:58 PM

I'm talking all time, except maybe back in the 50's when the forward pass was still a big deal

1/3/2011 12:43:23 PM

franchise record for points scored by like 50 points

I'd say Mike Wahle and Ken Lucas were our last major signings, and that was what, six years ago?

1/3/2011 1:50:45 PM

im more of a fan of offense so i was thinking more on that side of the ball, but keyshawn was 2006

1/3/2011 1:53:51 PM

Yeah, either way ... it's pathetic.

I'm pretty sure DT Ngata is a free agent this year. We could really use that guy to shore up the DL. Chance of us actually signing him though? I'm thinking 5%

next season's opponents other than 6 divisional games

Home: GB/Min/Jax/Ten/Was
Away: Chi/Det/Hou/Ind/Ariz


wish the redskins game was away, since ill very likely by in DC by then

1/3/2011 2:03:28 PM

so 6 of our 8 road games in domes next year

We need to get faster

1/3/2011 2:13:48 PM

1/3/2011 2:20:10 PM

Schefter just said the panthers and browns submitted interview requests to the Giants to talk to DC perry fewell

is he black to satisfy rooney rule or what

damn might as well be slave famous' dad

1/3/2011 2:21:47 PM

I lol'd at this:

1/3/2011 2:37:01 PM

the sheriff is a *negro*!?

1/3/2011 2:44:21 PM

luck had some quote in the paper today that made it sound like he is gone, prob cause he know harbaugh is too, hopefully all that stuff about him staying is just typical espn make news up bullshit

1/3/2011 7:14:16 PM

think Panthers would really give up on Clausen that fast?

1/3/2011 8:53:37 PM

it's not like they have a buttload of money invested in him, im sure they'll do the ole "the QBs are going to battle for the starting job in training camp" routine

1/3/2011 8:55:44 PM

was thinking more of having two roster spots for young QBs, two high draft picks in a row used on the same position

1/3/2011 8:59:12 PM

i dont see them signing any veteran QBs at least, maybe they retain Matt Moore, and at worst it would (hopefully) be Luck, Moore, Clausen as QBs


also, whenever Jeff Otah stops being hurt with whatever his problem is, they should have better blocking so maybe the QB doesn't snap the ball and immediately have to escape the pocket to avoid intentional grounding/sack

[Edited on January 3, 2011 at 9:02 PM. Reason : ]

1/3/2011 9:01:10 PM

Having Otah would have made us a 4 win team -at best. We just arent competitive in terms of QB*WR talent...

1/3/2011 10:29:38 PM

not saying Otah would have been a savior for the season, but dude is damn effective when healthy

felt like every week there was a possibility he could be back the next week, but no

1/3/2011 10:31:27 PM

So Luck had more touchdown passes tonight than Clausen had all season

1/3/2011 11:59:03 PM

Aren't all 5 starting o-linemen from Stanford SRs? If so, I doubt he comes back with a new o-line & HC

1/4/2011 12:02:52 AM

Watch the Panthers hire Harbaugh setting us all up for crushing disappointment when Luck stays in school.

1/4/2011 12:03:41 AM

^^ i think just 3 of the 5

http://stanford.rivals.com/cdepthtext.asp

yup OT, OG, C gone plus both WR and FB

[Edited on January 4, 2011 at 12:30 AM. Reason : z]

1/4/2011 12:23:18 AM

Luck going back to Stanford would be some massive NC State Shit

1/4/2011 12:29:36 AM

^^According to their depth chart, both Stanford starting WR's are seniors and their starting TE (though Fleener is a Jr). Running backs are all young.

And fuck that ONE MORE YEAR chant. Luck said he didn't even hear it lol

1/4/2011 12:32:04 AM

did that reporter just call him john? thought i saw luck smirk a little bit

1/4/2011 12:36:13 AM

streaming press conference at 11am on Panthers.com

beat writer says it's the first time Richardson has done anything like this in a couple of years, maybe something of worth will come out of it.

1/4/2011 9:44:03 AM

Read on Darrin Gant's blog that the Panthers HAVE been talking to Harbaugh. In fact, Gant says they've been talking to him "for weeks."

Trying not to get my hopes up, but a Luck/Harbaugh combo would be the best thing that could happen to this franchise IMO.

1/4/2011 10:19:44 AM

I think Jerry knows that would go a LONG way towards building back some good grace with the fans should he be able to lure Harbaugh.

After not paying ANYONE, raising ticket prices, and collecting $texas on concessions etc this season, being cheap is not an option. He should have plenty of cash to match whatever Jim's best offer happens to be.

[Edited on January 4, 2011 at 11:01 AM. Reason : ]

1/4/2011 10:59:04 AM

that drawl is gonna double the length of the press conference

wtf is he talking about? a cellphone?

[Edited on January 4, 2011 at 11:04 AM. Reason : .]

1/4/2011 11:03:43 AM

was about to post "what the hell is he talking about"



sounds like he's about announce he's going to sell the team (random stories) but ive never heard him speak so maybe he's always like this

How does a rich man like him not know about emails? Shouldn't he have a secretary do that shit for him?

1/4/2011 11:06:35 AM

he's about to be all like "and THEN i learned about SHEmails"

1/4/2011 11:07:41 AM

This is almost unbearable so far.

1/4/2011 11:08:54 AM

god this guy talks slow

took him like 20 minutes to open that newspaper

ok jerry, we're really supposed to believe the coaching search is beginning today? that's a load of shit

1/4/2011 11:09:20 AM

i hope he didn't call this conference to just lecture the media on their sources

1/4/2011 11:10:24 AM

i wonder how many people have just quit instead of being fired because they didnt want to sit through a meeting

1/4/2011 11:11:21 AM

i predict the camera will slowly start to droop and then snap back as the cameraman nods off

1/4/2011 11:11:26 AM

uhh sounds like this woman in "entertainment" who "abused" him is a stripper

i'm having a shit ton of lag but it sounds completely normal due to his accent
