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.

Ground breaking stuff my friend.

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.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.

      Well I guess he should stop playing football. This was his defining moment and chance to prove he was generational and he failed. What a waste of football life..
