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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
