camp opens friday for them
Good call.
Hopefully Delhomo's Tommy John elbow explodes.
Hopefully Steve Smith converts to Mormonism (Mormonity?) and demands a trade to the Eagles.

The NFCC loss is still stuck in my craw & regardless of whether the Panthers help save the lives of 1000 orphaned baby seals, I still hope they burn in a fiery pit.

Yeah, I'm hoping Delhomme's shoulder never really heals right (at least this year) from that rotator cuff surgery this past offseason.
I thought he actually had Tommy John surgery.
Damnit... you're right. Don't know why I typed rotator cuff. Too much of a hurry.
I really don't think their defense is going to be any good this year.
As of right now Michael Johnson is the guy I want too. Good call on that one. Hope he gets even better this upcoming season. Him and Cole would be ballin.
QuotePANTHERS DONE WITH SMITH?
Posted by Mike Florio on August 4, 2008, 9:23 p.m.
In the wake of Friday's troubling incident between receiver Steve Smith and cornerback Ken Lucas, the Panthers could be thinking about life without the talented-but-troubled wideout.
Matt Mosley of ESPN.com reports that there are "rumblings" out of Panthers camp that the team is fed up with Smith's actions, and are at least considering the idea of trading him.
Mosley says that Smith has become a "divisive force" on the team: "One Panthers source said that several defensive backs were walking around after the recent incident saying that if management didn't discipline Smith, they would."
And Mosley, whose covers the NFC East for ESPN.com's post-Hashmarks blog project, partially justifies his encroachment upon Pat Yasinskas' NFC South turf by suggesting that the Cowboys could be Smith's ultimate destination.
Other teams that would at least consider Smith include, in our view, the Eagles, Vikings, Bears, and taterskins.
Assuming that Smith wouldn't want a new deal, his cap charge for 2008 is a very manageable $1.75 million. Because it's after June 1, the Panthers wouldn't take a cap hit for the move until 2009.
Smith currently is signed through 2012. His future salaries are $3.4 million 2009, $5.75 million in 2010, $7 million in 2011, and $7.75 million in 2012.

SI.com's Bucky Brooks
QuoteCan a team overcome a two-game suspension of its best player to make the playoffs? That's what John Fox will try to find out this season as the Panthers open the regular season without three-time Pro Bowl receiver Steve Smith.
The fiery wideout was suspended for Carolina's season opener at San Diego and home opener against Chicago after fighting with teammate Ken Lucas during practice on Aug. 1. The brutal nature of the incident and the fact Smith had a previous transgression (he punched former teammate Anthony Bright during a film session in 2002), contributed to the severity of his punishment.
"This is a tough situation due to a number of reasons," said an AFC personnel executive. "You have a coach who is reportedly on the hot seat, and the player in question is the best player on the team. If you come down on him too hard, you hinder your ability to win, and ultimately cost yourself your job."
But Fox had to discipline his star receiver or risk losing the respect of his other players. At the same time, he had to be careful not to completely ostracize Smith from the team. As Carolina's offensive captain in 2007, Smith had earned the respect of his teammates on the field, and the team had lauded him for his maturity prior to this recent incident.
It's worth nothing Smith issued an apology to Lucas and his teammates at a team meeting, and that he vowed to earn back their respect and trust. Lucas took an unusually diplomatic approach to the incident, and called it a "blessing" that may bring the team closer this season.
Those initial steps will begin the healing process, but there is more work to do if the team is to move forward. Team leaders Jake Delhomme and Julius Peppers will need to encourage their teammates to move past the incident without harboring grudges or ill will towards Smith. And the organization will have to remain steadfast in its support of Smith. By continuing to stand by Smith, they stand a better chance of getting him to address his issues.
With Smith sidelined at the start of this season, receivers D.J. Hackett, Dwayne Jarrett and Muhsin Muhammad will have to pick up the slack. Running backs DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart may also have to shoulder more of a load. Keep in mind, Carolina has a 7-12 record in games in which Smith was out of the lineup. All seven victories came in 2004, when he landed on injured reserve after breaking his leg in Week 1. That was also a season in which the Panthers jut barely missing the playoffs, falling short when a blocked field goal as time expired led to a loss to New Orleans. Bottom line, however, they've never made the playoffs when Smith has missed two games or more.
But if they're looking for motivation, the Dallas Cowboys overcame a two-game holdout by Emmitt Smith to win Super Bowl XXVIII. The second of their back-to-back titles in the early 90's.
Yay.

A Colts preseason game matters even less than a regular preseason game. Over the past five years or so, I wouldn't be surprised if they had the worst preseason record in the NFL. I think Dungy tries to lose them all.
Julius Peppers is a free agent after this season. He's going to come out and have a great season. If, if, if the Panthers farg around and do not get him locked up towards the end of the season or if he decides he wants to test the market....how much do you want to bet that he's an Eagle next season?

QuoteWith Steve Smith suspended for the first two games, D.J. Hackett still out with a sore toe and Ryne Robinson recovering from a knee injury, the Carolina Panthers couldn't afford to lose another receiver.
They did anyway Monday, learning that Jason Carter will miss the rest of the season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. He was injured in Saturday's 47-3 preseason victory against Washington.
"The whole Steve being out the first couple of games and with our numbers being depleted, it's a good thing that our running backs are running as well as they are right now," joked Muhsin Muhammad, something of a last man standing since he's a veteran receiver healthy enough for the opener.
He was their punt returner too. They are down to Muhsin Muhammad, Dwayne Jarrett, and camp fodder at WR.
Mike Gasperson should be available soon.

QuoteBold draft-day deal for Otah transformed Panthers
By MIKE CRANSTON, AP Sports Writer
Dec 11, 4:02 am EST
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)—Rookie right tackle Jeff Otah kept opening giant holes Monday and rookie running back Jonathan Stewart kept rumbling through them. The night ended with the Carolina Panthers rushing for a team-record 299 yards in a decisive win over Tampa Bay.
And general manager Marty Hurney looked like the shrewdest guy at Bank of America Stadium.
Hurney's bold, draft-day trade that sent next year's first-round pick to Philadelphia for an extra first-round choice this year allowed the Panthers to get both Stewart and Otah, key additions in Carolina's turnaround from 7-9 a year ago to 10-3 this season.
"We felt like the combination of Jeff and Jonathan would certainly help enhance the personality of our offense," Hurney said Wednesday.
But getting them required a risky move that was met with plenty of skepticism back in April.
After missing the playoffs for the second straight season, Hurney and coach John Fox were under pressure to fix things quickly. They dumped running back DeShaun Foster, made DeAngelo Williams the starter and wanted another back.
But the Panthers also were determined to get bigger on the offensive line. So as they gathered on the morning of the first day of the draft to decide what to do with the 13th overall pick, they mapped out a venturesome plan.
"We made the decision coming in that we were going to take Jonathan," Hurney said. "But immediately after we made the pick we would get on the phone and see if anybody was interested in giving us their first round pick. ... We thought Jeff was that good and he fit into what we were trying to do."
Stewart was still there at No. 13, so the Panthers took the powerful, stocky Oregon product. Hurney then got on the phone with Chicago, Kansas City, Arizona, Detroit and Baltimore. All declined his offer.
But the 6-foot-6, 330-pound Otah was still there at No. 19, and Philadelphia was willing to make a deal with Hurney. The Eagles were also weighing at least one other offer.
Hurney waited anxiously, and with three minutes left before having to make a selection, the deal was made.
The Panthers agreed to send their second- and fourth-round picks this year and their first-round choice next year for the 19th pick. The Panthers then quickly selected Otah, whose stock had dropped because of a lingering ankle injury from his senior year at Pittsburgh.
"You never like trading away draft picks at all. But I think the feeling was we were confident in our evaluations of him," Hurney said. "We felt like big, athletic tackles like Jeff are hard to find. He fit into what we want to do."
That was on display Monday night, when Otah dominated the left side of the Buccaneers' defensive line. Stewart (115 yards rushing) and Williams (186) raced through huge holes as the Panthers took sole possession of first place in the NFC South.
"Both running backs did a great job running for all those yards," said the soft-spoken Otah. "That's the first time I did something like that, so it was kind of cool."
While it looks like a great move now, the draft-day deal could have been disastrous. What if Stewart and Otah didn't produce? What if the Panthers failed to have a winning record for the third straight year and were faced with having no first-round pick next year?
"You don't have a first-round pick in '09. Well, that's right. We have him in '08 and he's a year ahead of the '09 first-round pick," quarterback Jake Delhomme said. "It was a guy they targeted and a guy they wanted, obviously. To me, that's smart drafting. If that's what you want, go out and get it and hopefully it works out. So far we think it has."
But even Delhomme acknowledged some frustration early. Otah couldn't participate in some offseason workouts as he recovered from his ankle injury. Stewart was also sidelined as he worked his way back from toe surgery.
The patience paid off. Stewart and Williams have become one of the top rushing tandems in the league, and Otah has been a key cog in an improved offensive line.
Plus, the more the Panthers win, the happier Hurney gets and the lower that first-round pick will be for the Eagles next season.
"We know we want to run the football," Hurney said. "When we've been successful we've been a downhill running team. So to be able to do that against a very good defense it obviously makes you feel good.
not sure whats worse...andy reids PP skills or my thread starting techniques
I guess I jinxed it awhile back.
Like DAL/CLE, the Panthers will suck ass next year.
So, call me crazy but the Panthers look like the best team in the NFL right now. To make matters worse, Otah looks like the real deal. The Eagles definitely couldn't use a competant OT of the future...
I loved the trade when they made it but it is looking worse and worse by the second.
I think you have a lot of company in that boat.
I ain't gonna be your first mate, though.
thats retarded. it was still a good trade, they still got jackson and a first round draft pick. there was no way for anyone to know the panthers would somehow be good as shtein this year. i hate andy's normal draft strategy more than anyone but you can't fault him for this trade.
I'm not saying the trade was a bad trade at all. It made sense for lots of reasons. Still does. I'm just saying that it doesn't look anywhere near as good now as it did at the time and its only getting worse with every passing week.

I'm wondering how many of us would have been bitching if we had seen yet another lineman picked.
But yeah, every time the Panthers run over some team, the trade looks worse and worse. But still, there will be no way to fairly evaluate it until one or two years from now when we see how good the player is that Reid eventually picks.
If the Panthers win the Superbowl, while the Eagles barely miss the playoffs, have the 20th and 32nd picks, lose both of their starting tackles to free agency/retirement/death and allow Andy Reid to keep his job I will declare this The Worst Trade in the History of Mankind. Deserved or not.
it really doesnt matter regardless because there is no way in hell Jeff Otah would of been seen here in Philly as a great run blocker because....well...you know why

That's ridiculous. Then they wouldn't have Trevor Laws!
Regardless of if the Eagles make or miss the playoffs, Reid will likely be the coach next year. Does anyone honestly see Lurie pulling the plug?
Not now, no.
As for Otah, even though he looks good...I was totally down with this trade when it happened. I did not want another OL drafted high.
Obviously they need it and Otah would have been a solid pick in hindsight, but I blame Reid for my distaste in drafting an OL because he always picks so damn many of them.

I don't get that. Now they absolutley have to do it this year. Were you hoping they got someone in the 5th round as a potential starting tackle in the future, then have a year to look at him? It seems like the Eagles do that a lot too, with none too great of a success rate.
I wanted a receiver with the 1st pick. They ended up getting one, but obviously later. And CAR looked terrible on paper, so when the deal went down I was totally for it.
They don't have to go high. Technically they could have Herremans and/or Loco Andrews slide out. Herremans plays good at OT.
And I don't think Tra and Runyan are done just yet; the Eagles have only allowed 19 sacks this year.
Tra and Runyan are old men. If they can actually play next year, great, but watching the Seahawks and Rams go from solid offenses to laughing stocks in one year thanks to their OLs doesn't make me want to run those two into the ground.
Not to mention there seems to be a great deal of first round OL talent this. Would have a problem if the Eagles take an OT high this year Phreak?
I don't think there's a person on this board who doesn't think that at least one of those 1st rounders is going to be spent on an OL... and this year, deservedly so.
Nah, this year Andy will shock us all by drafting a LB and a WR in the first round. Followed up by the announcement that he is bulimic. Who knew?
Everyone is screaming for tackle, because of Runyan and Tra's age and contract situations, but I would much rather re-sign one or both and draft a center or LG. The interior has been absolutely brutal for much of the season. Especially with Andrews out.
I wouldn't be surprised if they took 2 lineman early, depending on what they get in free agency.
Jackson will be the center of this line next year and the year after. I'd rather a guard and move Andrews, or a tackle and leave him were he is. Runyan can't play forever.
Of course a lot depends on wether Andrews has his mind right.

I could see a DT for one of the picks, they're fairly interchangeable, depending on if the DL is quicker or the OL is fat enough. Definitely need a high motor though. McCoy had a VERY high motor.

Well Donny's the only one we've seen hurl in public on multiple occasions, but he and AR do seem to mirror each other. watch where you step around them.
I think this pick will be the 27th
if the eagles lose sunday is it possible for them to have back to back picks?...that would be kinda dope
There would be nothing dope about losing the NFC Conference Championship to the farging Arizona Cardinals. Nothing.
thats EXACTLY what i said
where is easy when you need him
won't happen
The Eagles will pick #21 if they lose at Arizona, #31 if they lose the Super Bowl or #32 if they win the Super Bowl.
The Panthers pick will be #28 unless Pittsburgh loses to Baltimore, then it'll move up to #27.
so the closest possibility would be the #28/#31 combination which would suck hard...

Worst of all would be Andy's fat ass in another one of those damn hawaiian butta joints coaching the Pro Bowl.
