Unfortunately we have a GM who doesn't believe in SB windows, and won't spend big in FA, and dumps a star player every off season. When you're in cap hell that has to happen in order to slowly recover. Once you're in better shape, and have your franchise QB, you need to load up for a run imo. We loaded up for a losing season. Astonishing. I still can't believe that happened. Am I dreaming?

worst case scenario we finish 1-15. we still have a core that most teams would kill for plus a years experience in the secondary and a high draft pick to address position of need (DE/OT/S). how we play this year doesn't affect our future window of opportunity. sinking lots of $$ into FA's limits what we can do down the road.

i guess you missed the part where i said Gettleman using $$ to improve the team would involve mortgaging the future for the present. the Norman move looks bad but I still would rather go through these growing pains in the secondary than drop an absurd amount of money on a zone CB who is already nearing the end of his prime years as a CB.

The 'core to kill for' that you speak of has been underperforming BIG TIME this year. Just look at KK who is losing millions by the week. 

Winning in the NFL is never a given. We knew what we had with our team last year. DG chose to change it up and now it is blowing up in his face. I'd take mortgaging our future for a superbowl all day, every day...

I don't care at all if we have to go through some cap hell for a major run at the SB with a loaded team. What in the hell have I been waiting for this entire gotdamn time?! A a loaded run at the gotdamn SB! What does fatass do? Dumps our best defender and brings in poo nothing! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!

Spending big in free agency is a crap shoot. Outside of josh what star player did Gettleman drop?

Name me any other GM who lets arguably the top player at a prime position leave in FA, whilst going into the season with around 20 million $ in cap space.

Spend money for what? Vernon? Swearinger? Cromartie? Mario? Give me a break. Gettleman is trying to keep the core together. That said, guys like Short, Ealy, Remmers, Benjamin, Johnson, etc aren't playing like they deserve extensions. I rather extend Stewart, Love, and Norwell with their money.

This team lost Smitty and Hardy. We struggled to adjust but we found a way to succeed without them eventually. We can do it again without Norman too.

So you're happy with Gettelman's plan?

The tag was removed late in free agency. $14M was tied up to Josh. What difference maker is left in may?

Exactly. Gettleman effectively handcuffed us in free agency by tying that much cash into a player that we didn't even end up keeping. And my argument was that we should have never let him go in the first place. The guy is balling out for the 'skins now and they are sitting pretty at 4-2

No, but I'm a fan. I want a trophy ASAP. Yet, winning teams like New England and Seattle lose 'stars' all the time. They manage however. Granted, those teams have stronger coaching but the principle is the same. Sometimes to prolong success, a star has to go. 

Do you think the Panthers will morph into a Patriots level franchise in your lifetime? If the answer that just popped into your head is "fug NO" then you need to jump on board with the load up and win one plan.

    • No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.
    • Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
