And?  Super bowl better?  We did go to the playoffs and win a game, sooo.

2014 is the year I referenced. and Yeah 7-9 sucks. People keep pretending we were awesome in 2014 because we won a shitty division.

The convo is about the GM and his decision to cut a nickel CB who never played a down for us.  

And somehow we are now discussing the merits of the 2014 season and Smitty's hypothetical impact on a team that is doing just fine without him. (Makes me sad to say that)

Part of the reason we were so good in 2015 is because of what happened in 2014.

Yeah 7-9 is great! In fact Gettlemen really wanted us to go 7-9 because he knew it would help us get to the SB and lose.

One reason I don't like this is because I feel like it could hurt us in future free agencies.  Boykin chose us over like 5 other offers only to get cut a few months later.  That might be a turn off for future free agents we try to sign.

If cutting players that wanted to play for them hurt a team, the entire league would be suffering.

Every single team in the league cuts players that were excited to play for them on a regular basis. It's the nature of the game.

by the way, get the record right before you go around slinging insults please

If you think one can't criticize our GM because we've been so amazing the last 3 years and the last 3 years includes a 7-8-1 season you a bias mother fuger, who blindly follows.

These seasons don't occur in a vacuum.  And you don't reset the players when the year ends. Football is a continuing dynamic, and each season affects the seasons that follow.

Newton becoming the unquestioned leader of the offense and the team pulling together for a final playoff run after a bad mid-season and just two factors that made the team better for the future.

Coaches and players have both talked about this, and any athlete will tell you that sometimes tough losses are the catalyst to future victories.

i don't think the GM can't be criticized nor do i think we've been amazing the last three years.  check this topic i haven't been openly supportive of this move or made excuses.  i'm just as shocked as anyone else.

see what you're posting relies on a series of inferences and assumptions.  i don't know what kind of docile animal that makes you but i'll check wikipedia and get back to you.

this is how i feel about the 2014 season too.  we saw cam emerge as an undisputed leader on offense in the absence of steve smith which was the big thing.  that wasn't supposed to happen.  15-1 sure as hell wasn't supposed to happen with the roster we had but that's a different topic.

we've seen panther teams keel over and die so many other times in similar scenarios.  we were lucky that the division was so poor but to pin it all on dumb luck is a vast oversimplification.  that was a high pressure, improbable scenario and i think a lot of people get that twisted looking at it in hindsight.  there was a time late in the season when the division was supposed to come down to the saints and falcons with the panthers being an afterthought.  it was far from a sure thing and i think people forget that.  cam getting into his car accident, derek anderson stepping in and quarterbacking us to a win, the blowout wins over the saints and falcons - all of that was improbable.  the team had to make it happen, it wasn't a series of coincidences like the 2014 panthers were some NFL forrest gump.  luck did play into it but that's true of every team every year.

if someone still wants to nay say and jerk themselves off acting like someone really thinks 7-8-1 is a good record or the cardinals were a good team then they can have fun with that.  2014 wasn't a good season but it was important for the development of the team and coaching staff.
