Yeah because Gurley and his 8 yards a carry really struggled tonight. 

And yes to answer your question I have less of a leash for a vet on a one year deal then I do for a rookie on a 4 year deal. CJ was a late signing with us this year since no other teams were all that interested and when we cut him again no other teams were that interested for a couple weeks... quit acting like Ron is blind for not seeing this coming and every other coach did 

like I said, a lot of backs can look great in short stretches of games. Anderson is good but far from a premier back.

Again, Anderson was a thousand yard rusher last season.

Gurley wasn't in the last few games of the season at all. Anderson still racked up over a hundred and fifty yards in each one.

During Cam Newton's rookie season, Greg Olsen criticized him for a decision he made. Newton responded by saying "fug you".

So tell me, which one of them should we have cut?

Did I really just read an argument in Rivera's favor to cut CJ was "because we have holes everywhere else"? So apparently kids, if your football team has too many holes, you might as well cut every other exceptional player you have. Sounds legit. Jesus Christ, the huddle is full of morons.

If he's unhappy, you can either respond and listen to what he has to say or you can tell him to sit down and shut up. That's part of being a head coach.

Cutting a good player and hurting our depth is a stupid move. You hurt your own team and reward him by doing so.

Rivera's own statements since the transaction show just how idiotic it was.

 

So why did we cut Steve Smith? You praised the move because he was a locker room distraction.

Another scot contradiction. The fool should not be taken seriously by anybody.

You're still pissed.  I get it, it was a shitty season and a guy we cut is going to the conference championship.

 

Im confident that somewhere between here and July you'll find some perspective. 

Please understand I value your opinion and hope you continue to post here.

So I tell you Gurley also ran well tonight to show you that Anderson isn’t the only one to show that maybe the oline has something to do with the running success and you respond by telling me that Gurley didn’t play the last two games of the season... 

Then you deflect every thing I said by saying maybe Cam should have been cut? Yikes that went south fast

Smith was actually cut because they felt like he was hurting the development of Cam Newton.

We were in the Super Bowl a year later.

We should have kept CJ and played him more.  Obviously, but we have the most conservative lazy coaching staff and they weren’t interested in changing or listening to reason.  IMO we need to find a better backup as soon as we get a new coaching staff.  These guys are definitely going to ride CMC and Cam into the ground.

I pointed it out because the only rationales that I've seen for cutting Anderson are people suggesting he was a locker room problem. There's actually no evidence to support this.

We cut a guy who could have helped us. There's no justifying that. It was a dumbass move made by dumbass decision makers.

Hmmm why did they believe he was hurting Cam's development? :thinking:

Some people here believe Smith punched Cam...

Nope not a distraction.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      It's not only about the draft spots, the scheduling is a huge factor. We already have a tough 2026 schedule by playing the North divisions, that's possibly 7 playoff contenders there and a few true SB contenders between the Lions, Packers, Vikings, Bears, Ravens, Bengals, and Steelers (Browns will still suck lol), while also pulling the AFC West for the 17th game. Let's just say for the sake of argument we are going to be true contenders in 2026 in both scenarios Would you rather go 9-8 and to make the playoffs as the last WC or worst division winner, lose in the first round and then have to add likely the Eagles/Commanders, 49ers/Rams, and Chiefs/Chargers to an already tough schedule because we have a 1st/2nd round finish this year, while picking 19th in the draft (where the worst playoff team picks) or Or lose an extra game to finish 8-9, while ending up in 3rd (obviously need Falcons/Bucs to get a WC spot) and miss the playoffs, but then get to add likely the Cowboys/Giants, Seahawks/Cardinals, Broncos/Raiders to the schedule while picking 13th in the draft (the highest an 8-9 team picked this year). I can understand why some people would just want to go to the playoffs again, and I can't fault that thinking.  But I'm always a bigger picture person and looking at what is best for the future of the franchise and winning a SB, not my immediate feelings that game/season.   So I'm taking those 3 SIGNIFICANTLY easier games and the 6 better draft spots. If we're a true contender in 2026, those 3 games based on divisional finish could very well be the difference of a 1 vs whatever seed.  Right now the top teams in the NFC are the teams who play in places you don't want to have road playoff games at... GB, Detroit, Philly are some of the toughest stadiums to play in, especially if cold weather games for the outdoors ones.  Give me the few extra easier games to hopefully make the difference in getting home field advantage. Making the playoffs to just lose in the first round isn't worth the first scenario to me when the alternative is losing maybe one or two more games while looking better while doing so.  I can stomach those extra losses in a much improved season when it's for the betterment of our future.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      We also watched Cam take Carolina to the SB but how much did his career change when he went to the Pats? See how that works? You create a post just to rag on player on another team just because you hate. You love to do this stuff. I've seen it for a few years. You are one of the main problems on this site. Not just y0u but you're definitely one of them. This topic should be in the nfl general chat. As a mod I would think you would understand that but no. The mods need mods around here.  This is for Panther's material. Can a real mod move this thread to it's proper place please?
