Odds were already stacked against us because we lost the SB, but I knew we were going back

But now without a corner we know can hold his own against any WR it's definitely not happening now. Unless we get that it's not going to happen. Our pass rushers isn't = Ware & Von 2015, even then Broncos still had Talib. I hate Seattle even more now, they kept Sherman, Kam & Earl together. Josh was a reason so many fans and players were so salty last year and I enjoyed every minute of it damn. Good luck to him

Josh won't be the reason we won't make the superbowl. 

Go cry a river somewhere else. We have talent, good coaches, and a great GM. 

Josh can either swallow his pride, and sign at a price lower than he was dreaming about, or the Panthers will successfully move on without him.

I know he's overreacting, but im shocked that so many of you are just shrugging this off and assuming Gettleman is making  the right move just because he's made good moves in the past. Let me remind you what just happend: WE JUST LET THE BEST CORNER IN THE GAME WALK AND GOT NOTHING IN RETURN. Our pass rush is garbage and our secondary outside of Norman was nothing special to begin with. In case your memory is a little clouded, go pop in some tapes of Weeks 3 through 10 of the 2014 season before Josh got the start and see what a doormat this defense was. 

 

These shutdown corners dont grow on trees, and maybe im wrong, but the first step of making it back to a super bowl should be keeping the guys that got you there

I know a lot of posters on here get a raging hard on from watching our GM refuse to fold and stand firm on prices, but at the end of the day would you rather fork over a couple extra million more than you would prefer to ensure you keep one of your best players, or do you want to stand firm and lose him? Sorry but Im not gonna automatically give GMan the benefit of the doubt just because of his history. He's just as much to blame for this as Josh is.

Chill the fug out dude.  We were 12-4 with freaking Drayton Florence and Melvin White as our starting corners.

We also had a pash rush

He wasn't the best

Numbers disagree. But theres a list of about 5 that you can argue are the best. Josh is in that group

The lengths in which some of you are going to convince yourself that Norman is garbage are rather embarrassing.

He was at minimum a top 2 corner last year. Today does not change that fact. Nor does your bitterness.

[Shocker]

Its kind of funny to me the people that say we just let him walk.  They tried and offered a very fair 11 mill a yr.  Not to mention he could play on the 13.3 tag and still wasn't happy.  Eventually you have to make a call.  You can just give him a blank check right?

Anyone who wants to jump off the bandwagon do so now.

We're going to be a better team this year than last.

The players all have to pull on the rope the same way or they're gone. Team.

I hate that Josh is leaving to but in Seattle, Sherman, Kam and Earl wanted to be together and made it happen. Norman is about Norman, which is why Fox benched him and instead of developing a better attitude, he developed into a better player with a worse attitude.

It's easy to tough talk to other fans about jumping off bandwagons in the offseason when there is no record.

But when the games start being played, the tune will change immediately if there are struggles. People will be flipping poo. That is for certain.

Why every time a fan dont go homer mode yall always talking that jump off the bandwagon poo. Did anybody say they were no longer Panthers fans

How about actually discussing the team and what it means and dont means on the field

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

this is what, the third or fourth time something like this has happened?  gettleman is the guy that released steve smith, deangelo williams, and charles johnson.  he let greg hardy walk for nothing and he freaking loves d-linemen.

frankly this shouldn't be overly shocking to anyone.  the suddenness of it probably should be, but not the concept.

honestly if this completely explodes in his face and we have the worst pass defense in the league next season and josh norman returns a game-clinching pick six against us in our home opener i'd just chalk it up to the law of averages finally catching up with gettleman rather than an outrageously dumb move.

You just said there's no chance the Panthers are going to the Super Bowl this year.
