You want a winning team or a "feel good" mediocre one?

After all the years of losing you would think that this fan base would embrace a different direction. I'm sure Smith had planned for this day and will do what he needs to for himself and his family.DG may not be the most lovable guy and his style may seem harsh.His job is to make this team into a winning franchise reqardless of hurt feelings,etc. Nobody bitched last season with the division championship on his watch. To wish that the team crashes and burns due to cutting a player is short sighted.Smith will be in the ring of honor and will always be a Panther. As of today the Hurney era is over for good. The NFL is a tough business and DG is running it like a winning franchise needs to be run.

Last time I checked it takes offensive play makers to win. The Panthers currently have 1 on their roster. We better have an amazing offensive free agency and draft.
This. Letting go of aging players is one thing. Leaving us with absolutely NO receivers when we basically need an entire offense already, and have almost no cap space to begin with is entirely another. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using CarolinaHuddle mobile app

If we are being all cut throat and shitty to the best players we've ever had, we'd better be good. Eric Mangini took over, had a winning season, got all power crazy, and then proceeded to suck the rest of his career. Being mediocre to shitty in that fashion is much worse and more embarrasing than Hurney's "lets split a beer while I guarantee you forty million" style of gm-ing.

This, it's not just about Steve Smith leaving. It's about letting go of the only wr on your roster when you have so many holes and no money.

Give me something to make this move feel less heartbreaking and crappy. Give me just one thing. There is no one left on this roster to improve our offensive output, no one to even keep it at the same mediocre level as it was before. I hope they tell us more than "the answer is already on the team" bs.

I think for some fans ...they are fans of the players more so than the team. I can think of a couple examples     remember when the Hornets had Mugsy and Dale Curry. Do you remember when they left.....many of us did not go to another game. People tolerated Shinn when they were here.

 

I am a big fan of both Gross and Smitty so I will admit I am disappointed regardless of the outcome. I think Cam is another example. I hear some people say they were not Panther fans until we drafted Cam.  Just my observation.

We needed to have a hell of plan before all this Smith stuff began.

 

Assuming Smith is let go, I have faith that there is a plan in place.  Maybe talks with some of the WR FA's have gone well. Maybe we know there will be an impact WR at 28 in the draft.

 

I just really don't want to hear that the answer is on the roster.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
