Panther fans: 

on team " man this guy sucks" 

just traded "man that guy was great what are we doing"

Yep, you get it...

And when the national media says we lost the deal, then that just seals it for most fans.

Some of the trades we "lost" last year:  Kony Ealy, Keyvon Seymour for Kaelin Clay, and KB for a draft pick.  Oh wait, except that we didn't actually lose any of those.

The idea that the Eagles GM is now a genius when he was the laughingstock and castrated fool under Chip Kelly a few years back is the funniest part...

Nothing Marty Hurney will do is going to satisfy some fans, but he has made good moves since he's been back in my honest opinion.

People saying we could have waited until they released him are conveniently bypassing the reality that we aren't the only team desperate for a speed threat. You want to get to the front of the line or do you want to settle for another Russell Shepard?

HE WAS GOING TO BE RELEASE, WHY WOULD WE TRADE FOR HIM.

 My guess would be that the staff want happy with Worley, and Worley wasn't  happy with being benched for one. So it gave us a chance to get rid of Worley and get a vet position of need...

Well, pretty sure we can all forget about the big name WR FAs now. We're going DB in FA.

Yep- you are right.  And objectively speaking DB was/is the bigger need.  Our defense got dragged down big time by an awful secondary last year.  No getting around it.  Coleman looked slow, Worley looked lost (and then bitched about it when he was benched), Adams was inconsistent, and even Bradberry wasn't great.

It's like the fan base knows we need to completely remake the secondary and then complains when our GM works towards that.  We have cap space, but not enough to sign a top-end WR and a top in DB.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
