Public Service Announcement: Pushover GM vs. Results GM

[CatMan72]

steve smith did the same thing. when jake delhomme got released he was actually pretty icy about it and kind of said the same stuff.

then the impossible happened to him and oh poo look out

Yeah, it's a business until you cut me and then I'm going to call into a local radio show and rant... LOL

[AceBoogie]

Win football games. 

People forget we lost more than we won last year

[AceBoogie]

He built that 12-4 team.

Name the key players and tell me who drafted them.

[CoastalCat]

He was handed a 7-9 team, turned it into a divisional round team, gutted it, then turned it into another divisional round team with a brighter future.

 

7-8-1 is not a good team no matter how you slice it. The sheer fact that we paid Smitty more than the Ravens did last year is enough to conclude that the guy is a moron. Add to it that his contract dealings let LaFell, Mitchell, Munnerlyn, and Ginn roll for more loot after decent seasons just makes it worse. Luckily, most of our secondary from last year are still on their rookie deals.

I'm not going to go over the numbers again, because it is pointless with some people, but cutting Smith provided considerable cap savings over what would have been the remainder of his contract.

 

Some fans have a hard time understanding the difference between a player's salary and their cap hit.

 

[Mr. Scot]

You guys act like the panthers are some juggernaut that won superbowls. Let me know when we win something.

 

We'll let you know.

 

You should refrain from posting here again until you hear from us.

You guys act like the panthers are some juggernaut that won superbowls. Let me know when we win something. We won 7 games last year. Win first then you can act like New England. Else, good free agents will take paycuts to not sign with you.

Nippleshorts inherited a team that had more salary committed to the running back position than our 3 NFCS competitors combined (hyperbole but I bet I'm not far off). He took over a team that had developed a culture of mediocrity. He inherited a team that completely screwed up the draft in 2009, 2010, and 2011 (outside of Cam). The guy walked into a situation that was about as poor as it gets. His 1-deep talent was adequate yes, but our team had zero depth when he took over. Now, our cap is getting back in order, our cupboards are being stocked with young talent, and we are finally putting that idiot Marty Hurney in the rearview mirror. Thank you Dave.

Hurney would have been so deathly afraid of losing DeAngelo  that he would've given him a 5yr, $46M,  $32M guaranteed extension.

And how have Mitchell, Munnerlyn, and Ginn faired with their respective teams? I'll tell you. Pittsburgh fans hate Mitchell, Munnerlyn got demoted back to the nickel, and Ginn was just cut.
