Question for Steve haters

I want to see some visual evidence from just one of you geniuses that, prior to Gettleman's comments, suggested cutting him for cap reasons as a good idea. Otherwise, I will assume you are simply supporting this move of the guy behind it (Gettleman) and not because of the reasoning behind it.

I'm not a Smith hater. I just want what's best for the team. Myself, not being in a position to know or control what is best for the team, has to rely on the FO and I have little choice but to support their decisions and hope for the best.

You don't go and cut or trade a franchise-hero like Smitty without really sound reasoning behind doing so. Think about it.

It's not our job to think ahead about the betterment of the team.  It's the job of the front office. 

 

 

If some of the fans were in charge,  30 years from now,  we'd still have 89 on the roster as the #1 WR,  making around $40M a year.

Did you support all of Hurney's decisions?

I actually agree with you here. I think a lot of people are just supporting it because Gettleman seems to have started the idea. For someone reason, Dave Gettleman is becoming the almighty to some people.

My gut tells me the meeting between DG and Smitty didn't go well.  At the Clemson pro-day, Smitty said he is still training as a Carolina Panther until told otherwise.  My guess is that DG wouldn't commit and Smitty won't take a paycut.

It's not exactly a new thing. Up until the day he was released, a large part of the board had their tongues so far up Hurney's ass they could taste breakfast. Once he was shitcanned, everyone always knew what a total fuging moron the guy was, what the fug did you expect with a SPORTS WRITER playing GM, etc. etc.

 

You're just seeing the same with Gettleman now. Yesterday, you were a moron if you didn't recognize Smith as a force and our best receiver. ICE UP SOOOOON! Today you're a moron if you don't see the benefit of cutting Smith who let's be honest is overrated and a total dickbag and never taught anyone anything and is a selfish asshole who wont play for $12.50 an hour to help the team and so on.

You're making it seem like the guy puts up 100 yards a season and makes $12million/year. The $7million IS a lot, but cutting him would only save us $2million!!! Stupid stupid decision to cut him. G-man should've just asked him nicely to take a pay cut, and explained the situation, and I bet you anything Smitty would've helped out or at least restructured. He's team first, not me first.

I don't support what's going on with Smith qi have been against everything since Gettleman said that Smith was being evaluated without speaking to Smith prior to saying it...
He also said this at the press conference at the end of the season but nobody made a big deal out of it then. He said that they were going to take a few weeks to evaluate the team before free agency and the draft. He said they were evaluating everyone. Then comes the combine and a reporter asked him again and specifically asked about Smith at which point you could tell he was obviously perturbed about it but he gave an honest answer and complimented Smith in the process. If Steve was surprised he was being evaluated then he wasn't paying attention because it had already been addressed weeks before and he certainly should have known his contract was due to be renegotiated. It's how Hurney set it up before he signed it. I'm not hating either side here. I just don't see the big deal about the Gmans comment nor the need to redo Steve's contract. He's been paid handsomely for his services so he's owed no additional respect. The way some act here it's as if we murdered his family and burned down his house and are taking him to the woods to behead him. Sent from my Nexus 7 using CarolinaHuddle mobile app

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.

      Let's be real. Signing Matt Kalil who was at the time inconsistent at best was always an extremely risky move and largely initiated by the fact he was related to one of our most prominent players Ryan Kalil. Memories get fuzzy the longer time passes I guess. Go watch some old Panthers games with Ted Ginn nearly losing us games. Then watch Cam Newton keep going back to him again and again and again. Then read all the Xavier Legette criticism while making excuses for Bryce being swept by rookie 2nd round pick Tyler Shough. Throwing TMac under the bus is just further proof how deranged the Bryce Young defense force has become. Bryce Young can barely compete in this gutter iteration of the NFC South. Let's see him take this WR core to the playoffs in an NFC South with Drew Brees and Matt Ryan
