Dammit!

Dont let Mitchell leave. We made a mistake before by letting Marlon McCree go. Dont do the same with Mitchell.

Im fine with letting Ginn go. Hes a no3, not a no2.

Just for speculation only, Calvin Pryor in the 1st now if Mitchell aint retain?

You're fine with letting our best return man since Smith did it go? And at this point we don't even have a #1 so #3 is fine

Let's say Person knows something--anyone can say on a Saturday that it is not looking good by Tuesday when they have had the entire offseason to sign these guys.  However, I will play along.

 

Gross leaving may have impacted these decisions.  Finding a LT is more important that a S and a one-trick pony WR. 

 

Mitchell and Ginn agreed to one-year deal to showcase their talents hoping to get a good deal.  We didn't commit to them for more than that year, so there is no reason to expect loyalty to us.

 

Let's look at the positives--Mitchell was a bit of a loose-cannon, one-dimensional safety and we can find another.  His value is escalated because he was a surprise starter who performed well enough to start.  He was not a star.  Nor was Ginn.

 

If we do not re-sign Ginn, it could alter our first round pick choice.  Maybe Beckham Jr over Jordan Matthews, for example.

Someone else can do Ginn's job on ST. You dont overpay for him just bc hes a fine returner, but average WR.

The dude was arguably our best receiver last year... Did you even watch? His deep threat was underutilized because of our offensive scheme but it allowed smitty and Olsen to get open many times.

Yeah cause we have such a huge talented crop of receivers right now. We can afford to be picky.

You rather use that money that youre going to give Ginn for a relaible wr: Tate or Roberts.

Ive never said we were good at WR. But, Ginn is def not going to solve the answer. Im sure a lot of wr on the street can match Ginn's 500 yd season in 2014 if thats what youre worry about.

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

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
