The player outbursts you're seeing now


Recommended Posts

Are what they've been doing behind the scenes when JR was here.

Gettleman gets fired 2 seasons removed from a SB appearance days after the draft why? Because it was time to give Shaq TD's role and Greg Olsen was getting old. JR axed him when he tried to disband 1/4 of the family. 

Fast forward to 2020... Olsen ADMITS on Twitter the Panthers would not give him a deal he wants and the Panthers post they mutually decided to part ways after Olsen declined their offer. Olsen goes on twitter and says they lied when days earlier he said they couldn't come to an agreement. 

TD gets his face in the mix. He pulls a 180 on us WEEK SEVENTEEN and decides to return and wonders why we don't want to re-sign an aging LB when Shaq has been waiting to even get out of the rotation. 

Cam has been hurt whether people like it or not. Nobody knows the plan for Bridgewater at the moment, but as professional, Cam's outburst on twitter was uncalled for.

Giving a player permission to look for a trade does not automatically= we mutually agreed to anything. Many times it means that the organization wants to give a long-time player the chance to find a place they're comfortable going to with their current contract. They could easily cut him and have every right to. 

Either way, back to the subject, this has been happening behind the scenes for years... 100% of us can agree Marty Hurney is a yes man and always will be. The assistant GM conversation is already coming up, I think Hurney is going to retire soon after getting some good retirement checks stowed away during his 2nd run in Carolina. He has likely agreed to be the fall guy for bringing the Richardson era guys out of here as Tepper gets his guys in. 

We are probably going to suck in 2020, I don't think the goal is to get better in 2020, but this is 9/10 not normal. Nick Foles didn't jump on the Eagles in 2014 when they replaced him with Sam Bradford... this doesn't happen. 

P.S to all Panthers (now alumni) who are jumping on our staff and Owner... DECLINING AN OFFER IS A MUTUAL PARTING. 

 

 

Edit: Cam started the first by announcing his return prematurely when DT and Marty wouldn't speak up about the matter and put a rookie NFL HC in a bad situation. That's honestly why I think Cam is gone.

While I agree with most of it, I think Cams outburst was not only related to the fact the team did not want to extend him but also that the team made it out to be him that wanted out. Cam has always been a huge fan guy so surely he would make it clear that he has not wanted to get traded and get out of here.

I largely agree with this.  Much rather have the guillotine show we're seeing now than a bunch of over-pampered players getting loyalty contracts handed out like during JR's tenure.

All these players getting cut were more than fine cashing the game checks when their play had declined or were injured.

I honestly forsee us going 2-14 in 2020 just based off a major culture change. Trevor Lawrence/ Justin Fields likely sits behind H20 1-2 years.

Tepper and the Panthers can do business the way they see fit regardless of how we feel. But that doesn't mean people have to ignore the subsequent ripple effects that will take place over time with the cost of doing business a certain way that makes waves. They are in the business of selling a product. In this case, the Panthers. If they're setting fires everywhere they go it's difficult to build much along the way.

If this is the new norm, beware. I say this as a Panthers fan who has seen some poo over the years.

So we're going to ignore the fact a player decided to announce a front office decision while David Tepper and Marty Hurney we're declining any questions to the media about it?

David Tepper was not at the combine and Matt Rhule saw Cam's commitment video (which we know now was likely about some sort of extension). He made a poor choice to give that speech that every other NFL team obviously did not buy (as reported). I think DT would've likely asked him to say nothing had he been there... I doubt the owner would appreciate calls every 10 minutes about how to approach the media.

Ultimately, Cam started this fire and the front office is taking the burns.

Cam keeps his mouth shut> Tepper never comments on his "I'm coming back." Radio crap> Rhule never has to deal with Cam's craziness on instagram.

Cam flipped off this team  (Don't try to convince me it was to anybody else), Spoke for the FO and shared employment disputes with the world, put our rookie HC in a bad situation, and wonders why he's getting fired. Let's throw onto the fire having two woman pregnant at once after being hurt for 3 years.

Edit: Both sides made mistake, but don't try to pretend TD, Olsen, Cam we're not being shady on how they handled it. All we're big JR guys.

You Company Men are just adorable, in your white shirts and your bow ties.  THE BIG BOSS IS SO PROUD OF YOU!  (Even though he doesn't know your name and wouldn't have you step across his door-step if his life depended on it.)

    • Which is why I'm all for trading Lamelo. Guy misses half of every season. I swear he just likes to sit on the bench to show off his street clothes. I think it negatively impacts the other guys who do the same. If guys don't want to play, they don't need to be here. Coach and gm need to get stricter
    • See, I have a different view of it. I think that just the opposite is very true, and often proven on our very own team.  Look at the impact that CMC had when he was here.  Look at how bring in two top rate IOL to play guard last season made a huge difference in finally getting a stable front for Bryce to live behind. It took a while for it to bear fruit, but those last games were just relevatory. And off ball linebackers like Luke Kuechly, not just running a defense but dictating the game when he's on the field, truly remarkable what a difference that makes. Personally, he had as much or maybe even more to do with that Super Bowl appearance as Cam did.  What I see in the NFL is teams trying hard to cover up for a lack of good linebackers by stacking the D-line. But it gives them a crust defense, one that is hard and crunchy on the outside but a feast within. Linebackers shouldn't just rule the middle of the field, but should be directing traffic and working as enforcers.  But hey, whatever. "Devalued" positions often come back to bite you in the ass when they are neglected. Ask anyone who has had to clean up the mess left behind by a former college coach who took over a pro team and brought their college recruiting mindset in. Yanno, like Matt Rhule did.   
    • I see it this way--XL was raw.  Raw players when drafted who are forced to start immediately are very raw players in the NFL-- How is he helped? TMac will shift the focus of the defense away from XL.  XL will be more experienced.  He will have an offseason of jugs work.  He is a very good athlete.  He can only get better.  Wallace?  Same thing.  He will get better with an improved defensive front and the addition of these heat-seeking head hunters at S.  I think about the players we will have on defense in 2025 that we did not have in 2024. Derrick Brown. DE Brown III NT Wharton DE Jones Edge Moehrig S Princely. Edge Scourton. Edge Ransom. S Cam Jackson NT Roseboom  LB While we may not know what we have, we know what we don't have--
