Will the fanbase implode if no big moves are made?

Throwing this out for discussion on the eve of F.A. If the Panthers do not sign any upper tier players (such as T.Smith etc.), and rely on lower level signings and the draft....would you be alright with this gameplan?

Yes, I will be very upset. We havent signed a notable FA in years, its time we drop some cash and make a move. Yes FAs can be busts but so can draft picks, atleast with FAs you are getting guys that have proven they can play at a high level in this league. Torrey Smith and KB could solidify our no 1/no 2 WR poaition for years seeing as how T Smith is only 26 and still has a ton of years left.

For those that say "but we dropped big money in the past on FAs and it ended badly." Well I can also make the argument that literally only one player remains on the active roster from the 2011 draft, so I guess that means we should just stop drafting players as well since we got burned in the draft before?

The fanbase always implodes when no big moves are made. No reason to think this year will be any different.

 

gettleman outright said that it would take about three years to get things straightened out when he got here.  i have to admit when i first heard that i didn't expect it to mean back to back division titles so i'm having a hard time getting pissed at moves/non-moves.

Can hear it now:

 

"2015 is slipping away!! F@ck!!"

 

"No Suh?! Guess Gettleman and Richardson don't give 2 sh!ts about winning"

 

"0-16 staring us in the face!!"

 

"None of you care that we're losing in free agency!!"

 

"All he needs is a new team and a bigger contract and then he'll be much healthier"

 

"Guess Gettleman meant we'd be diving in the Wal-Mart dumpster instead of the Dollar Tree dumpster"

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
