Michael Silver: "Sometimes you feel like McNutt; sometimes you don't."

OK, I mainly posted this for the thread title.

 

If nothing else Michael Silver of nfl.com reports that some of the players have a wait-and-see attitude regarding G-man's moves right now. Some people in the organization, though "mystified" by what's going on here, are giving G-man the benefit of the doubt due to his success this past year.  Fans, especially us hardcore Huddlers, should probably be doing the same.

 

But, keep in mind, that they aren't giving G-man a blank check.  

 

 

Sometimes you feel like McNutt; sometimes you don't. And sometimes, as a first-time general manager eager to put your stamp on a team -- and now saddled with a newly extended coach in Ron Riverawho you might not have wanted in the first place -- you decide to make your presence felt by clearing out the most forceful and influential player in the locker room. That sure seems to be what happened here.

 

 

OK, so I am supposed to believe that G-man fired Smitty out of some subliminal frustration at being saddled down with Rivera and some latent need to exercise his authority?

Of course the subconscious mind is a muthafuga sometimes...

 

Anyway, just surmising from the twitter quote that popped up a couple of days ago, my guess is that the "veteran player" that he must be referring to is T.D.  I doubt that Cam and Luke, who have been publicly mute, would have even spoken to a reporter off the record. 

I'm not sure whether Newton, who on Wednesday underwent ankle surgery that will sideline him for four months, is privately grumbling about this, if he's down with the plan or if he's somewhere in between. For what it's worth, while some in the organization have indicated to me that they're mystified by the move, I talked to one veteran Panthers player who did his best to quell the sky is falling storyline.

Said the player: "The mood in the locker room is this: Guys are happy with what the GM did last year, in terms of the players he drafted and free agents he brought in for positions of serious concern. So it's hard to be quick to jump on the 'Panthers have no receivers, they are screwed' (bandwagon). He's done a good job thus far, so we're not gonna question him. That said, talk to me in August."

It's not all about Steve Smith being released. It's about us releasing him and being a dick to him, while letting 3 WRs leave along with him. I have cooled off some, and all the Smith threads are getting old now, but I will stay critical until I see what Gettleman does.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.

      oh now that's what you call Mother Fiuggure fans the ones that always have this fierce protective shield around the team no matter if they win or lose  & to be honest there is nothing really wrong with being a Mother Fiugguer fan they just have a different meaning or sense of what a true fan really is                                                 ☺️
