The team's side of the story (per Kyle Bailey)

I do not believe that for one second. They knew what they were posting they are liable for it.

I think it's probably true.

That said, they would have been smarter if they had reviewed it.

One other relevant point...

As far as the state of the team, while some people inside the building believe that the team needs to just go ahead and gut the roster and start the full rebuild, Marty Hurney believes the team can be built to be competitive this year.

(shocking, I know)

He’s an absolute moron if he believes that. That’s why he gave the moon to get Little when he could have gotten him at 47 and to be honest maybe even 77. Orlando Brown went 83rd due to the combine and he was considered a much better football player than Little.

Marty is so bad at day 2 picks recently (including years ago) that you’ve got to think he truly believes some of his guys are way better than they are. It should piss people off that we are trying to compete instead of getting a franchise QB when our 5-11 nightmare has clearly gotten less talented so far. Compete, my ass. We’ll be lucky to win a division game with Brady in Tampa now.

Excuse me Mr Hurney, exactly how many competitive teams have you built?

[TheSpecialJuan]

yay

I'm sure the absolute truth lies somewhere between this and Cam's version.  Assumptions are made, things are interpreted and misinterpreted, etc.  Then add the social media effect, where people are talking AT each other and lobbing shells at each other.

Good or bad, handled poorly or perfectly, the original issue we all knew about was Cam's camp wanting an extension and the Panthers having no desire to do that yet.  I see both sides of that. 

The only thing I find incredible about this whole thing is Hurney believing, yet again, that we are close to competing this year.  They need to drug test that puppy.

- Matt Rhule's Ultimately, he'd support whatever quarterback the team settled on.

Guys, Rhule has no real power. Marty and Tepper are calling the shots.

I'd guess it's probably as much about self-promotion and preservation as it is anything else.

It probably helps explain why the team's actions seem contradictory and directionless. They should be embracing a full rebuild but Marty is trying to save himself.

Your telling me the most vaunted player on the organization. The biggest fan attraction being shopped wasn’t reviewed by Hurney or Tepper. The only way that makes sense is if cam had a person on the social media team that posted it without permission.

The front office needs a Hurnectomy (Remove a boob GM)  Full stop.

were about to blow a top 10 draft pick on a linebacker

You guys are mad over a tweet? Like really? That’s what made all the difference? Holy poo. Some of you guys must have had it hella easy in life.

Who gives a fug.

Both Can and Panthers did what they had to do. Neither did the wrong thing, period. Cam didn’t take the risk on himself why should he expect the Panthers too? He did what he did in his best interest and so did the Panthers, let it go, it’s fuging business. Your tender butts surely can handle a meaningless, insignificant tweet. Oh but let me guess...it MeAns So muCh1! *tear* grow up.

As for signing Bridgewater...well I’m not sure what that means...smells like mediocrity but who knows.

Well, remember Jourdan Rodrigue said it was possible the team didn't care about tanking Newton's trade market once they got Bridgewater.

Maybe they just didn't care enough to be careful.

Lol no one wanted to trade for Cam. That’s pretty much plastered and engrained on the wall in reinforced heavy duty steel.

WGAF I mean y'all are upset we didn't give a QB that has been hurt for 2 years a 5 year extension. I mean I wouldn't have even give him 2. He should have kept his mouth shut and not put out that stupid video. It's his own fault.
