Ok guys...24 hours + of shock.  Now time to act like adults.  Things happen in the world we have no control over.  Some of them we like and some we don't.  Some we understand and some we don't.

The rampant speculation (I know all we have) as to why this happened....which many seem to have now taken as fact and are spewing venomous anger toward Mr,. Richardson and even the team and players is a bit much. If you are not going to continue to be a fan because of this....I don't think you were a fan to begin with....but I am not going to argue with anyone on that.

I still love the Panthers.........will support this team and have confidence in our players and coaches to continue to work toward the goal we all have for this team.

I do not understand why this happened...no one does.  It does not matter how many theories are out there.  I wish Mr. Richardson would tell us but he likely will not.  This is a personnel issue and that is universally treated with discretion among professionals.

I prefer now to turn my focus on the excitement of seeing Cam throw the football after all these months...to see our rookies in their 1st NFL action..and when the season starts..to see "The Evolution."

Nothing wrong with having opinions but a lot of this stuff is over the top..some quite unbelievable.  I am going to trust that Mr. Richardson would not have made such a bold move at this time if he did not have a good reason.  I do not of course know what that is and neither do any of you.

 

Calm down guys.

honestly DG was doing something wrong. I've never seen so many players trash an organization and GM after being let go and then collectively rejoice the moment he's fired.

in all my years following football, I've just never seen it.

some stuff was made public. some stuff was kept behind closed doors. either way, Jerry pulled the trigger, and all we can do from here on out is move on to the next chapter of Panthers football.  

this is how we reacted when Smitty was let go. 

this is how we reacted when Greg Hardy was put on the exempt list 

this is how we reacted when we lost both super bowls

football is not a sport for the faint hearted. If you get super emotional after moves like these, I suggest you expend your energy on something else.

Good post.  Perspective is needed here.  The team is intact for this year and bringing in Hurney should calm down any dissension since he's well liked and respected within the organization.  I'm sure a better long term fit will be found.

If people can't get mad about things like this, then what are we even doing here? If there was no emotion involved in being a fan then what's the point? I'm not going to bash JR or any of the players, but I will say that there is no reason whatsoever to be in a hurry to extend a 34yr old LBer with another year left on his deal or a 32yr old TE with two years left on his deal. TD and Olsen are great players but all NFL players are replaceable. It happens every single year for all 32 teams and the one's who know when to cut guys lose are the same one's who tend to be contenders year in and year out.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!

      Inappropriate relationship with a team staffer, followed up with some stalking behavior, and ultimately a felony home invasion charge from a visit at her apartment that culminated in him threatening her life and his as well.
