The Hard Question...

[Harbingers]

Let's say for a moment this was all due to Greg and TD(plus outside senior players)

Would you have rather given inflated extensions to the Veterans. I say inflated due to holdout rumors.

Or spread out reasonable contracts to all of our young upcoming players(I.E: Turner, Short). 

We have 15 million in cap space. I feel like Gettlemagic could have got both done. Without inflated extensions. 

 

Something tells me this was way more than business and money. This was personal. 

 

But if you had to choose, which would you choose?

That's not really a hard question, honestly.

You do what's smart, not what's sentimental.

That's why I'm saying, there's something deeper than contracts.

This is a business. Going for a Super Bowl trophy not a Participation Trophy. Teams don't have unlimited cap space. Need to spend wisely. No DG not perfect and he could of handled releases much better but he brought this team great success and in great position for the future until his firing.

There's a sense of loyalty to players that, unfortunately, trumps doing what's best for the franchise.

My biggest problem with the whole thing is now we are the the biggest drama heading into training camp.

ESPN and NFLN are going to run the panthers into the ground.

I will go on record and say I agreed with the Norman decision.  Not so much Smith but it was understandable at least as this needed to be Cam's team to lead.  I would not have agreed with release TD or Olsen however.  DeAngelo I completely agreed with that.

There probably is, but for now with the surprised news we all have to take a clear stance one way or the other. Thats how the internet works nowadays, you cant just be calm and let it play out like the good ole days.
