Panther Paw Prints Around the Web

With the Jay Cutler trade clogging the news cycle the past week the pickings on the Panthers is slim at best. Let's start with a rather intriguing question Scott Chandler has regarding Panthers HC John Fox:

Is he loyal or is he stubborn? I agree with the D-Will analysis and I couldn't help but chuckle at this zinger towards the end:

Fox acts as if he's seen it all. And he has seen a lot. And he is the best coach the Panthers have ever employed, and it's not close.

But he hasn't seen everything – a Super Bowl ring on his own finger, for instance.

Shannon Green is running a poll on Julius Peppers at the Herald Online. What a novel idea... Just one problem, she didn't include a link. Tisk, Tisk.

Apparently Panthers GM Marty Hurney is quite the Pro Day groupie. Here's pictured here watching Richmond DE Lawrence Sidbury (6-2 1/2, 265)
How about WR Plaxico Burress opposite Steve Smith? The Giants finally released the twitchy fingered WR.
Here's a decent post that postulates the Panthers finding a diamond-in-the-rough defensive linemen late in the draft
So it looks like the 2009 NFL Schedule will be released on April 14th, a day earlier than last year

I said no

Not because it wouldn’t be great to see him in a panther uniform but because there isn’t a chance in hell that foxy and hurney would every go after him. That its possibly unlikely that he is going to play this year. Or atleast will not be able to be a part of much off season training.

I like how Dwayne Jarrett came on last season

I’m more interested in seeing him evolve into a solid #2 guy. Moose has a couple good years left in the tank but it would be more wise to look for a WR in the draft. Carolina won’t be able to handle the media circus that comes with Plax.

Think With Your Dipstick Jimmy!
