the rams released isaac bruce yesterday. the panthers should pick him up so the fans can yell "oooooo" on moose catches, bruce catches, and delhomme incompletions.

\/ yeah, should be a pretty decent WR to get on the cheap for a couple years' worth of play before he retires. sad the rams couldn't hold on to him for a little longer so he could retire there

i wouldnt mind us getting him....worked for prohl(sp?)

[Edited on February 29, 2008 at 4:09 PM. Reason : on the cheap though...which means less than 1.5mil/year]

2/29/2008 4:09:18 PM

moose is our issac bruce, we don't need another....we need another speed WR to stretch the field

2/29/2008 4:46:48 PM

my friend told me carter was clocked as one of the fastest WR's in the game...i still havent noticed though cause he cant catch the fucking thing

2/29/2008 4:52:43 PM

^^true. carter was the fastest guy on our team. so yeah he probably was one of the fastest WRs in the NFL. still, that's straight line speed. it seems as though he lacks speed in and out of his breaks

[Edited on February 29, 2008 at 5:19 PM. Reason : ]

2/29/2008 5:18:51 PM

carter is a track star, not a wide receiver

2/29/2008 5:19:38 PM

He just like a light skinned joey galloway

except that he sucks

2/29/2008 5:24:50 PM

his problem is that he doesn't attack the ball in the air, which negates his height

that and the fact he sucks

2/29/2008 5:28:33 PM

oh yeah and aside from deep outs, he cant run any other routes

2/29/2008 5:36:48 PM

i can remember like 5 catches that if he had like 2 more steps he'd have scored a td

2/29/2008 7:05:46 PM

he's got a serious alligator arm problem

2/29/2008 7:21:58 PM

Marlon McCree is visiting the Panthers this weekend.

2/29/2008 11:59:39 PM

Ricardo McCullough signed. He might be able to play FS.

3/1/2008 9:12:41 PM

3/2/2008 1:32:46 AM

3/2/2008 8:20:53 AM

apparently, the panthers are interested in julius jones. seems like he'd be a pretty cheap/effective change of pace back.

3/2/2008 10:27:42 AM

^I like Jones he's the best running back available now that Michael Turner has signed with the Falcons

3/2/2008 7:16:15 PM

does this "julius jones" fellow play tackle, or guard?

3/2/2008 9:17:52 PM

please GOD NO JULIUS JONES. HE IS GARBAGE. JESUS NO.

3/2/2008 10:43:05 PM

Why get Julius Jones when we already have a better version of speed back in Deangelo Williams?

3/2/2008 10:57:59 PM

RBs frequently get injured

3/2/2008 11:12:46 PM

it still baffles me that he started ahead of MB3 for 2 seasons...jones is average at best but probably still better than foster

3/3/2008 12:18:54 AM

i mean i guess if he was super cheap i'd get him for some depth, but i really dont want another rb over other positions

3/3/2008 12:26:06 AM

but we need another rb

3/3/2008 5:07:39 AM

With turner gone, it'd be best to pick up a RB or two in the draft imo (RB first round, OT second or vice versa)...Jonathan Stewart, RB from Oregon would be a solid first pick.

I heard a rumor from carolinagowl that the panthers might try to package some picks to move up in the draft...didn't give much info other than that tho, and it's completely against Fox/hurney's usual approach, so....

He started but Barber got all the important carries...kinda like how Primoz was the starter when he was still on the Bobcats this year

I think mainly they just wanted to keep Barber fresh for the 4th quarter...He's probably one of the most fun runners to watch in the whole league because he just mauls people

3/3/2008 10:38:13 AM

did i just hear we got mushin mohammed back? WTF

this is the best news ever

3/3/2008 6:36:06 PM

yeah pretty cool right

3/3/2008 6:37:39 PM

If the panthers are moving up, it's likely to target a DE. We've got some serious issues on the right side (mcclover? johnson?). Depending on just how high we go, we could be looking at Gholston or Merling (clemson dude).

If i'm us, I use our extra 3rd to move up to 6-7, then go

1. DE Gholston
2. FS Dejuan
3. RB Kevin Smith

3/3/2008 7:11:24 PM

so whats up with our linebackers, corners, and safeties?

3/3/2008 7:46:27 PM

OG Kendrick Vincent signed for 2 years/ 2 millions.

3/3/2008 8:15:27 PM

we're set at CB, especially with the Coclough (sp?) signing

LB's we're good enough. Beason and Davis are studs, while Diggs is good enough

At safety, we still suck mightily. Chris Harris was pretty good last year, but outside of his ability to destroy people, he's pretty average. Have to do something in the draft, and damn I'm hoping that something is DeJuan

3/3/2008 8:24:39 PM

This year draft is a pretty weak year for safety.

3/3/2008 8:58:44 PM

what about free agents? with all this renegotiating and releasing of people i'd think we are way under the cap

Sounds like the Panthers are very interested in Clady from Boise St.

Also says they want to have 5 new starters on the OL.

3/4/2008 8:40:52 AM

^that OT is who the panthers will move up in the 1st round for, if they move up at all.

Harris either led or was close to the league lead in forced fumbles last year, and he's very good in run support. I think (and the general consensus has been) that he was a steal from Chicago, and fits our system quite well.

3/4/2008 9:40:39 AM

If we finally cut deshaun foster in order to sign julius jones, Marty Hurney should be immediately fired.

I'm 100% serious

PANTHERS BAG BRAYTON

With veteran Mike Rucker likely to sign with another team (after he returns from a current trip to Afghanistan), the Panthers are making plans for life without him by signing free-agent Tyler Brayton.

Per Adam Caplan of Scout.com, Brayton signed a two-year deal with the Panthers. He'll compete with Charles Johnson for playing time on the right edge of the defensive line.

Caplan reports that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Denver Broncos, Detroit Lions, and Cincinnati Bengals also showed interest in Brayton, who was a first-round pick of the Oakland Raiders in 2003.

3/4/2008 10:45:22 PM

hmm, what's up with all these 2 year free agent deals? Moose, Mccullough, Vincent, and now Brayton.

3/4/2008 11:33:40 PM

Quote :

"On November 6, 2006 in a game against the Seattle Seahawks, Brayton kneed the groin of Seahawks tight end Jerramy Stevens, after Stevens kneed him and was ejected from the game. Brayton was later fined $25,000 by the NFL [1]. Stevens was fined $15,000. This incident led to Brayton's nickname of "Nut Cracker".[citation needed] During the course of the Raiders' 9 game losing streak to end the 2006 season, Brayton and several other Raiders, including Warren Sapp, criticized the lackadaisical effort of WR Randy Moss.[citation needed] In a post game incident, Brayton confronted Moss, citing several instances where Moss could have kept the team in the game. Moss responded with "I play when I want to" and "Randy Moss don't go over the middle". Brayton proceeded to tackle Moss, knocking both of them over the trainer's table, and re-injuring Moss' lower back. The two were separated before they could come to blows."

Sounds like a fucking asshole to me

3/4/2008 11:39:49 PM

well, moss(raiders moss) and stevens are pretty big pieces of shit. got to give him the benefit of the doubt on those

I think he should be congratulated for this to be honest.

Close to deal with Barry Sims also. Great pickup in my opinion. Probably gonna be another 2 year deal.
