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"

    • Here is what it said about him coming out of college: Overview A three-year starter with good feet and technique, Samac could be in consideration for a move-blocking rushing attack. He is strong at the point of attack but will have limitations against NFL power. He operates with good hand placement and nimble feet and is a demon once he’s on the move as a pulling center leading the way. He’s fluid and agile in the run game, but those traits fail to do as much for him in protection. Samac punches with inside hands but can struggle to widen his protection base in order to protect his edges. He has eventual starting talent as a run blocker but needs to add more mass and improve in pass protection to get there.
    • Through 2 games cltfc has 12 shot attempts. Opponents 23 shots on target. Attack sucks, Defense definitely sucks. Kahlina is the only reason they haven't given up 14 goals in two games. 
    • I met a few times--never liked him. I figured he might have had a bad day--but then realized that he must have a lot of bad days. Once he raised his voice at my son because my son did not understand a question when SS was signing his jersey.  I wanted the jersey to represent his encounter with a Panther great, not some small man with a bad attitude.  I told me son, "Forget it.  He was asking you what your name is (My son was about 7 and told me that he thought Smitty was going to write (my son's) name on the jersey.  He said "Dad, I thought he was supposed to write HIS name on the jersey, not mine."  I said, "He was personalizing it, writing it to you--like a birthday card."  He is now grown, and he has a steve smith Jersey that is framed and matted.  He keeps it is his closet.  I asked him, "Why not have that out on your wall?"  He said, "All I remember is an A-hole scribbled on my shirt.  I don't remember a legend or hero.  But he had a Jake Delhomme Jersey on his wall.  "Jake was great.  I will always remember that."  (Jake stayed and talked to us for about 5 minutes or more--GREAT guy.)
