I've never heard about a player begrudgingly hoisting the Lombardi trophy...

I want guys to want to play here. If you're okay with guys like Smitty, TD, Olsen, etc. getting the shaft because of "it's a business," then maybe you don't need to be a fan of the football team, but more the front office.

Organizations should be built on keeping their investments comfortable and competitive.

Keep your players happy. Keep them performing while they are happy. Profit.

The Panthers will survive this.

The end.

I've tweeted it out this morning and ill say it on here. I'm saving all these people defending TD and Greg for wanting to reup for 2018 when Cam has 2 years left on a very team friendly deal and wants to reup. These same people will be crucifing him then. Not specifically talking about you Bronn so don't take this that way just saying.....

I don't think they will be. If so, it will be for different reasons not related to football.

Also by then we should have a couple rings.

Pay them regardless of whether they're performing because you like them...loss.

I still haven't seen substantial evidence that either TD or Olsen, or Trai for that matter, have under performed.

If you don't want to pay guys for under performing, then we need to go ahead and cut KB, Funch, Dickson, etc.

Players want to play for winners and superbowl contenders. And happy friendly enivronment = content = a mediocre franchise that will never win a ring (aka Panthers). So eat it all up, because our next GM will be a Hurney clone and we will go back into cap hell so our old ass washed up players can be happy. Wash, rinse, repeat.

You don't hand out dumbass massive contracts for what players have done. You hand out contracts for what they are GOING to do. And I'm sorry, you don't hand out big contract extensions to players past their prime. With your mindset, we will go back to the Hurney era all over going.

Please present evidence that TD, Olsen, Turner, etc. are past their prime.

      So, objectively, you'd say from a holistic review of Rico's performance and the team overall there were at least a dozen players on the team that performed at least as well if not better in their roles?

      While you're correct, people are just sick of being told, "you don't understand this, you're dumb" despite what their eyes say. This applies to the Panthers and anything else in life. This board can be a miserable place, but this isn't the old days anymore because Social Media & Reddit have hijacked old-school forum users.  I have in the last year or so taken a massive step back from Social Media & Reddit. Deleted accounts on both, I only have X/Twitter now. But I was looking for an outlet for Panthers talk and I did not want to do that on X much at all. There are only two legitimate outlets for that I've found, here and SB Nation. SB Nation I used to partake in, but they absolutely bumble-f*cked the comments section, and I like the setup of the posts + comments, as opposed to article + comments. Also, as others have pointed out, being a Panthers fan has been a horrendous existence since Cam left. Just an awful crew of coaches, draft picks, trading away great players, etc. It's been miserable.  Ever since Tepper bought the team, I hoped that he commit to a full rebuild. He never did, he thought there were shortcuts and so did Rhule. This hamstrung us for years, and then he massively overstepped with the BY trade.  This ruined the team building, because there was no depth, and then it ruined nuanced BY discussions because of the insane haul we gave up. He will never live up to that, I think many people are finally wrapping their heads around that now which is good. The best thing for this board to get better is for the Panthers to win more, draft well, and to stay committed to crawling through this Andy Dufrense poop-pipe to escape the depths of NFL hell. It will be ugly and stink along the way, but you can see already this year if we commit to drafting then the team and the vibes can turn around quicker than you think.  I am extremely optimistic about the draft class this season, it's something to watch, talk about, and celebrate. It also gives Dan and I think by extension Dave Canales more of a leash, which I think we need to give them and grant them the time to turn this boat around.
