Panthers aren’t blinking this week, up 34-7 in third quarter

Must be nice.

Sources provide credibility. In fact I don't believe it. I don't think Mike McCarthy is fed up with TTs lack of free agent participation. I have sources that say a lot of things but if I repeated them here it would be irresponsible and if I made up some fantastic headline just to garner hits or whatever it would be doubly irresponsible.

I suspect MMs "fed up" somewhat exaggerated.

Why doesn't it surprise me though that you are loving this. Its more PROOF that you are right, right.

Uffda duffda said he was a journalist right? He says sources are not important because he believes it. 😂 😂 😂 Sadly this is the state of journalism today. McGinn doesn't have a legitimate source because Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson work in perfect sync. Again so many say, we should sign guys but no one ever speaks of who is then lost as a result. Mike McCarthy knows if Ted Thompson signed Cullen Jenkins, there'd have been no comp pick to get Mike Daniels and then one or 2 guys like Jordy Nelson is not resigned to because $$$ went to Jenkins.

Anybody watching Carolina thoroughly destroy Arizona tonight? Now that's a well put together football team. A nice mixture of youth and veterans. Athleticism all over the field. A defensive scheme that is actually well executed, and an offense that is geared towards the strengths of its players.

We would be getting thoroughly thrashed right now too, and anybody that thinks otherwise is really foolish.

They’re not frugal with their pics, had only had 16 picks in the last 3 years.

They had to use free agency to get Oher at OT because they traded up to #19 to get a bust at OT Jeff Otah [Giving up a 1st, 2nd and 4th that would have netted Eric Wood, Calais Campbell and Mike McGlynn-2 pro-bowlers and decent guy]. Then they had another opportunity in 2013; but at 108 they drafted OT Kuqubila. On the very next pick Ted Thompson drafted David Baktieri at 109!!! If they hit on Bulaga and Baktieri they would not have needed to sign Oher.

DE Frank Alexander goes down. Would they have traded for Allen if they had draft success with Ealy [2nd], and/or 3rd rounders McClain and Fua or kept their own FA in Greg Hardy?

Would they have signed Tilman (CB) in free agency and picked up Finnegan (CB) and McClain (CB) [who they originally drafted] off the scrap heap if they had successfully D&D’d Tramon Williams, Hayward, Shields, Hyde, Goodson, Randall and Rollins? Would they have signed Harper and Coleman in Free agency if they hit on Burnett and Dix?

Would they have signed Ginn, Cotchery if they didn’t bust out on Joe Adams, Pilaris, Aremti Edwards and or resigned their own (LaFelll)?

You’re castigating Ted Thompson for being a better draft and develop guy that the Carolina front office. And of course we are easily better than Carolina if Rodgers, not Sanchez, is playing QB for us.

So what’s the problem?

You follow the blasting of me with an odd statement that Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy work in perfect sync. You have no unnamed sources or named ones to base that off of but that is what you believe. I'll give the check on that one to me regarding which belief is based on the more solid ground.

McGinn is such an opinionated tool-fool. All this bullshyte he talks only one specific: that GB should have singed Mason Foster. The LIAR says Foster beat out a couple of vet starters...THIS IS A BOLD-FACED LIE. Compton and Riley are the starters ahead of Foster, but Riley was injured and inactive. Foster sucks and is much worse than Thomas, Ryan or Palmer. McGuinn sounds like the loud-mouth smarter than Ted Thompson fools that loudly and vociferously babbled and blathered on that keeping Goodson over Rolle was a mistake, because Rolle got 3 INTs. Ya’d think after the loud mouths realized that they were 1000% wrong about Rolle; they’d just take one moment of reflection and say to themselves, “maybe, just maybe, I’m not as smart as TT.”

Ya want some free agents? Okay, but first, go to the fountain of youth; then go play with some unicorns; Oh wait, those things are only imaginary. Just like the esoteric, theoretical meaningless empty bullshyte thoughts and words on the subject offered by the vocal loud-mouth minority. Stop the yappy-lipped bullshyte and provide the name of the FA to sign; the amount we must pay and whose contract gets cut and/or who is not signed it the FA’s place. And talk to his agent and make sure the deal would actually go through. If one can’t get to reality; state your opinions once, maybe twice and if you cant add reality or more insight, then just STFU. Thank you in advance!

Mike McCarthy has stated at least 20-30x per yr how proud he is about the program and the system in place. So it's the same source that routinely establishes that you shouldn't tell your daddy how to make babies. 😂

Now Gary Bertier, who is your daddy? I'm your daddy, now fix that tie and get on the bus, son.

You have less solid footing. You can't flip the script. You tried... no sale.
