I actually don't think so, he got REALLY paid in charlotte and unlike a certain douchebag (cough cough, deangelo williams) he was very thankful for the mountains of money we paid him.  Also, he was always loved in the community and a great presence in the locker room.

I was being sorta facetious.  I'm sure he'd be giving lots of love to his former teammates and coaches.

I feel bad for him.  He seems like a real class act and one of my favorite panthers ever.  

I don't. He's been paid tens of millions of dollars during his career and despite what so many Panthers fans believe, he never had the production to match his cap hit. To hear a lot of people talk, you'd think he was Adrian Peterson. In reality, he was never even close to that level. He was a decent starting RB when healthy, but he was injury prone and was being paid like a top flight workhorse RB - something he never proved to be capable of. 

Stew seems like a great guy, but I can't feel bad for him. This is life for a 30+ year old NFL RB and he always made more money than his production warranted. The guys I feel bad for are the ones who absolutely bust their ass and do everything asked of them in camp, but they just don't quite have NFL talent level. They're sooooo close to making hundreds of thousands of dollars per year but they just can't quite make it.

Hurney and Gettleman have both been burned this year gambling on players with injury issues.

There is a reason why the better teams tend to part ways with older stars before they become a liability.

Who did Hurney gamble on that got hurt?

And while this doesn't qualify as an injury, older players tend to take longer to recover/heal and PEDs offer a shortcut that is sometimes too tempting for those in the twilight of their careers.

      Predictions from Charlotte observer sports writers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?

      Week 16 - Other NFL Games

      Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.

      Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
