Since I was old enough to follow the team (1996). Does my answer somehow take away from your dead-money complaint I proved to be unfounded?

Andy Lee?

I know it's Joe Person reporting and therefore possibly pregnant with stupidity but Webb was a popular guy. Not a good reason alone to keep him but I'm sure everyone saw DA stinking it up. Bad vibes.

Will players care that a previously-fired GM keeping two kickers (he's done it before) cost a popular, effective role player his spot?

I am hearing there is no discord in the locker-room, whatsoever and that only 2 or 3 reporters should be trusted or spoken to. 

Joe Person is not on that list and in fact is on a list with Rosinski.  

Rosinski was on this player's shlt list years ago and nothing has changed.

He's not Webb. There is a reason we kept Webb. It feels like Hurney is just trying to copy DG. 

We kept Webb for his versatility as a special teamer, QB and WR. The fact is his only true usefulness was as a special teamer. I suggested weeks ago that with the addition of new special teams aces, and his inability to unseat even a bad Anderson, he was headed for the chopping block.

Being versatile is a great talent to have. But if you aren't very good at any of the positions you play, I'm not sure versatility matters. Webb's special teams ability was largely overblown. 

Now do Fozzy!

What does any of that have to do with whether Webb was a good QB or not though? Gentleman might have actually made this same move if he was still here. That QB room needed to get younger.

So if the QB room needs to get younger then why not cut Anderson who is the oldest in the room and performed the worst this Preseason. I mean if we were rolling with Cam, Gilbert, and Kaaya then that would work for the get younger argument. I don't think we need the "vet" of Anderson anymore since his play has declined and this is Cam's 7th season so he has enough experience and leadership to help develop the younger guys as well. If we were concerned about keeping a backup that knows the system then they could have made Gilbert the 2nd since he was in the system this whole preseason.

3 QBS 2 Kickers. It's really stupid we let go players of value for this. From a player's perspective, you either trust your kicker or you don't. If you don't, then he should have been release in March. This is like threatening your wife with divorce and showing her your next woman if she slips up one more time.

There is no strife concerning Webb being cut.  This is fake news.

They need to shut up and get over it, which they will. No one will be thinking of Joe Effing Webb come kickoff time this Sunday

Exactly what players of value did the Panthers let go that were going to actually contribute to the Panthers?

Joe Webb, either of the Fullbacks. Depth on the Oline. Don't be daft. You cannot argue a backup kicker and developmental QB will help this team more than anything I've mentioned.

You mean the fullback people were freaking out about that is now on the practice squad because no one in the NFL picked him up off waivers? If they wanted him on the main roster, he would be. It is highly doubtful the Panthers will waste another spot for the o-line until someone is injured.  The kicker situation will be addressed in the next few weeks. Again, people screaming like it is the end of the world because of the 53rd roster spot are just hilarious.

Because Cam still isn't fully healthy and Ron still believes a veteran who has been with the team for many years will be able to fill in better than a QB that has no NFL experience. My guess is this is the last season for DA and he was saved by Cam's injury for one year only.
