Why do opposing fan bases and fans think the Panthers don't pay their players?

I don't get this fallacy at all.  I've talked to many fans of other teams stating "you guys let Norman go, that's going to be a mistake.  Should've paid him."  or "Letting Smitty go was dumb, because you guys wanted to be cheap."   

Do you guys understand where this poo comes from?  They always think the Panthers let their players go, and don't pay them "like they should."

Yeah all these "questionable" decisions that have long term implications have led to a loaded SB team. At the time the short sighted instant gratification people couldnt comprehend what was comming but a few of us did. I was beating the Gettleman drum in the midst of the smitty fallout. Dude.. We are loaded right now, with our own home grown talent. Hey, lets be the redskins and overpay for other teams developments and barely have any of their home grown. 

 

Yrah, heres what I say about the "should have done this" or "should have done that" statements..

Like for example, name some studs on the redskins where were origionally drafted by them..

 

the TE Reed? Kurt? 

 

Yeah lets appease the fugtard fanbase and over pay for players that arent our own and dont even fit, to get these fugtard fans to get a cheap buzz watching the other fugtards on NFL network to slob the teams knob and act like they are much improved. Fug off

Dude, this one guy's comeback stated "Smitty put fans in the seats.  He deserved to stay there until he retired."  I was like "uh, we just sold out Fan Fest for the first time ever.  Not to mention, our Training Camp practices have had over 55 thou.  The most ever."  He of course didn't have much of a rebuttal to that.

Dude, this was an Eagles fan.  That's what makes matters worse.  I wanted to be like "did you want us to overpay him like you guys did Asmougha a few years back?"

you'd think we never lost a game when steve smith was here or something.  i've read so much stuff exactly like that.  and having gone to a bunch of games during his years here i can definitively say that, no, smith's mere presence didn't pack the stadium.

there are some fans who are bigger on players/personalities, which i think is fine.  but it can very easily get emotional and lead to some wildly fallacious arguments.

also this thread is gonna get cpantherking'd because this is kind of his number one pet topic

Meh, it's just negativity when it's our own fan base.  So, it's whatever in that regard.  But, when this fallacy leaks over to other fan bases.  That's what fuging kills me.

It's because there are only about 3 teams in the league with GM's as good as Gettleman.  Most fan bases are used to seeing their GM throw millions at average, unproven talent.  I for one am elated that we have DG balancing our check book.

i'll lurk on the NFL subreddit from time to time and it's fun to see knowledgeable fans from other teams look at our roster, look at our cap figure, and go slack jawed.

If you meet ridiculous contract demands you get slammed. If you refuse to break the bank in order to keep all your star players you also get slammed. The solution is to ignore the blowback and do what makes sense for the long term success of the team, which is what Gettleman seems to be doing. 

I see players wanting to play for us. Most aren't saying 'no thanks, you guys are cheap', and the ones who are? Do we want a DeAndre Hopkins, who's apparently so dumb that he thought a holdout would hurt anyone but him?

Man I still get people who say we didn't pay peppers.......And I just look at them.  

the funny thing is, hurney actually made a hard run at it at the very end.  i think our final shot at locking him up was $17 million/year in 2010 before he signed up with the bears.  at the time i believe that would have made him the highest paid defensive player in the league.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
