New GM, new coaching staff, new players, same shitty taste

[frash.exe]

It's funny how the personnel is so different at key spots and yet they play exactly like the 2010 team.

 

Steve Smith essentially replaced by a 6'5'' giant with the wingspan of the spruce goose

 

Jimmy Clausen replaced by an immensely talented QB with a completely different skillset

 

We actually have a TE

 

Luke at MLB, who is a better player than Beason ever was

 

Actual NFL caliber defensive tackles

 

and the team is still getting blown out the exact same way every sunday.

 

If you're not blaming JR for at least 85% of this mess at this point then your opinion is irrelevant. And I don't want to hear poo about "but we just extended Rivera". The Dolphins fired Sparano merely a year after they gave him an extension. They're not a very well run franchise either, but at least they commit to trying to win. JR wants to win like I want an Audi RS 5. Yea it would be nice but I can live without it. JR refuses to acknowledge that his vision of football, whatever it is, is flawed. We're on the path to nowhere as long as he is on the king's throne. If Rivera is not fired like he should be at the end of the year, it's because JR doesn't think the price of winning is worth more than a 15 million dollar contract extension, which isn't even a fraction of what the Panthers make in stadium revenue alone.

That's alot of money to swallow. What you're forgetting is the man who gave him that extension. He should not get a free pass for that misstep.

[TylerDurden]

Yup.

[Keith Moons Liver]

Pretty sad that we literally have to wait for a guy to die before we can even hope of having success. 

[Marc Anthony]

But we just extended Rivera...

[Ruff]

I don't think JR can hear us over the sound of all of that money.

It's JR's money that's being spent on Rivera, not Gettleman's

 

I believe fully that Rivera's fate is JR's call. After all, he hired Gettleman and made the call to hire a new staff off limits. Plus, this "give you a lucrative contract extension after taking three years to make a playoff berth" reeks of the kind of operations that have defined the Panthers in the post-Seifert era.

[Lumps]

You're totally right and the worst part about it is we might lose a franchise QB in the process. Sigh.

[tondi]

Its hard to fathom the same guy who let half of last years team walk because he refused to pay them is the same guy who fell all over himself to lock up Riverboat Fuggin Ron for 5 million a year based on what amounts to one half of one season of good team performance.

 

I can sympathize with his having to let some guys go because of Hurney fugging us but if this is how DG is going to spend money when he eventually does have some cap space we are royally fugged.

I don't blame Richardson for 85% of this. Don't care if that makes my opinion irrelevant.

I blame him for 90%.

Big picture how he handled pre lockout time, the contracts after, then pairing HCs/GMs together that simply are dumb moves makes pretty much.....the on field product mainly Jerry's fault. Big picture.

The Hurney/Rivera pairing forced a new era HC to basically be forced feed Fox's old team. Now new GM is doing what should of been done year one of Rivera's era in year 4. THAT makes you suck.....and that is Jerry's fault. Front office is why we suck.

[cbully]

need a new owner... not one that sleeps during games and cries about equality while stressing players are overpaid... we lose until Jerry steps down

If it isn't obvious, you are a guppy.
