An apology to the Carolina Panthers players.


Eazy-E

Recommended Posts

I am not going to make this a GM or coach bashing thread it is honestly a heart felt apology to the players who bust their ass for this team year after year. 

Guys like Thomas Davis, Luke Kuechly, Greg Olsen, Cam Newton, Ryan Khalil, I am sorry you have to go through this bull poo. Davis and Olsen especially. Their window may now be closed thanks to this disaster of a season. Hell even Charles Johnson even though he has made a fortune playing for terrible Panthers teams. It is just sad This organization has squandered away some of the best years of some of this franchises greatest players. When Steve Smith was let go I hoped he would go to a team with a chance to win a ring and get a shot at the HOF. It just saddens me that after a 17-2 season this is what we all have to witness. 

To guys like Thomas Davis who I believe should have a statue out in front of Bank of America Stadium, I am sorry you have to go through a fuging disaster of a season like this. Same goes to all of the Fans who spend their hard earned money on this team. We all deserve better and it starts at the top. None of us deserve to get poo on like this after the blessing that was the 2015 season.

Sorry I am not even angry anymore just utterly depressed. This season fuging sucks.

    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
