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"

    • No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.    
    • It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
