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.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By bandu · Posted

      take a  look around the league at other young Qb's such as Drake Maye , Jayden Daniels, Bo Nix , CJ Stroud  & Caleb Williams who at the time like Bryce Young they also were drafted by teams with a losing record .the only difference with these Qb's is after joining their teams with a losing record they led those same teams to a winning record in a very short period of time .it's simply what you call a game changer & or elite Qb's & then take a  look at  the other side of the coin you have Qb's such as Trey Lance, Zach Wilson, Mac Jones, Justin Fields  & Anthony Richardson also like Bryce Young all first round picks who instead of winning either did not play or led their teams to a losing record while playing  Bryce Young who has an overall record of 14-30 & wildly inconsistent & never in the history of the NFL has a Qb 5'10" or shorter had a successful carrer as Qb in the NFL  if anything history is telling you exactly what ?..just saying

      to me these two signings were so bad for the Panthers at the time of our young team. "Sean Gilbert was signed by the Carolina Panthers on April 21, 1998, after being traded from the Washington Redskins in a deal that sent the Panthers two first-round picks (Nos. 5 and 12) to Washington. The Panthers then re-signed Gilbert to a 7-year, $46.5 million contract extension on the same date"  The other was Jason Peters being picked in the First round of the 1998 draft. "Peter played for the Panthers from 1998 to 2001, appearing in 38 games (starting 20) and recording 88 total tackles, 7.5 sacks, and 1 fumble recovery His NFL career was cut short by a chronic neck stinger, forcing him to retire after the 2001 season
