Fox getting teary eyed while talking about Jake's release...

You know, Steve Smith cried after a game last year. I wonder how many of you E-gangstas have the nads to call him a pussy to his face, without a camera, witnesses, or weapons?

I'll tell you what... I will even bend those rules and go with you. Then, 20 seconds after you do it, and you're laying on the ground bleeding and (ironically) crying, I'll take you to the hospital, and later I will testify on your behalf in the lawsuit... if you would be willing to split the money with me that is.

Ah yes, so Steve Smith and Mike Minter are pussies according to these guys.

And DeAngelo Williams cried a little when his Mom appeared on the big screen at the stadium as a breast cancer survivor, so I guess DeAngelo is also a pussy according to some folks on here.

I used to think men who cried were pussies... when I was 13.

What is interesting to me that those of you purporting that business is business and shouldn't include any personal feelings likely have never worked for a corporation or large company. I have worked for top 100 and 500 corporations who spent tens of thousands of dollars every year to devise different ways to develop teamwork and foster personal relations between employees. Employees who rely on each other and have close personal relationships tend to work better together and instead of being out for themselves at the expense of others work together for team goals and extend themselves for other's success.

Again no one is suggesting that when an employee leaves the boss should cry or that personal feelings should replace good business acumen, but to assume that you can't run a business successfully unless you divorce yourself of any feelings will make you a prick of a supervisor if you ever rise to that station. Good managers figure out how to walk the line between the personal and business aspects of a working relationship.

But honestly this is the last word I will have on this.(unless I am responding to Full of Bull's response) First of all it isn't that important and secondly if you still don't get it you probably won't. None of us really know how Fox interacts with players every day or how much his personal feelings intersect with his business acumen. Frankly most of us don't even know how much Fox decides who gets hired and fired at this point or even plays. But making so much of Fox's reaction to Jake leaving is hardly indicative of anything significant or confirmation that he has blurred the distinction between a friend and employer.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
