Madden has RUINED the minds of sports fans. Why can't people just shut up and think a little bit. You can't go sign every free agent every offseason. Every single year there are one million posts about how Hurney sucks, we never sign people, etc. How about STFU and chill out. Why not join the bandwagon of the cowboys, or redskins? They go out and sign top free agents almost every year. They also lose almost every year. Smart teams, such as the Pats and Steelers built their teams primarily through the draft.

Now, why would they do this? Because you can get good quality for a good price, rather than good quality for a WAY to large of a price. That allows you to resign your core. Who are the Carolina Panthers core? Cam, Beason, Johnson, Gamble, Gross, and new ones to be added in the draft. Hurney is not overrated. He is not an idiot. He is also not bankrupting our team like the majority of posters would do if they were in his position.

Signing free agents is fun and exciting. I wish we had made a few bids at a few players. However, that being said, it is stupid to posts threads about how Hurney sucks because he didn't go sign this guy and that guy. That is not reality. And the few teams that do that, rarely win that way.

I understand some are disappointed because we didn't sign another big name to the team. But don't rip the FO because of it. Always remember that

A) we could be stuck with the Raiders FO (who are idiots)

and B) we are on the way to success and we don't need big FA's to get there. We just need a little more time and one or two good drafts.

So please stop talking about how stupid the Panthers are for goodness sakes. Thanks.

Fans have always thought they knew better than the team.

why just a year ago how many did not want Cam Newton? (rhetorical question)

Stop thinking a video game or the internet has made fans...fans. Fans are much more in touch with the team and the NFL in general, so it's easy to think things are not moving fast enough.

let them moan and groan and we make fun of them...that, that's what the internet is for.

Good post.

I dont think our FO sucks...I just wish we would have at least made a ripple in the bidding process. Everything is mum from the FO on what we are doing in the FA, which is an advantage in my book.

From everything I read we have been out bid on everybody without even bidding...

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
