Still a fan but.....

Face it, we all are fans thats why we are so emotional about the way this season has started off. I can voice my anger like so many on the board but anger solves nothing without action. I think it's time for some changes but change come from the top ppl. If they can't see what we all are seeing then I can't invest anymore energy behind a losing strategy. I truly hope that they can turn the season around but I honestly am doubtful. This team lacks leadership. A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link and the weakest link are the main links for the Panthers. I am already looking towards the 2010 season. I hope to see a new Head coach, OC, DC, QB, DE, another WR threat to help Steve Smith. Until then I can't support them because you can't keep doing the same thing and expecting different results. Tonight was the nail in the coffin for me. I can't understand why would you keep a player on your team when he clearly wants to leave and then pay him 16 million to do nothing. I can't understand why you would extend the contract of a QB who hasn't proved himself worthy of it after a dissapointing playoff game and has confidence issues. I can't understand why you would keep a Head Coach and Offensive Coordinator who don't realize if it aint working then try something new. I can't understand and I can't support financially a team who are so lost that they couldn't find sand if they were in the desert. I hope they atleast get a win. Time to look to the 2010 season and hope that the GM and owners finially start seeing it for what it is.

    • I sure do miss the days of having guys like Cam, Luke, Peppers, Olsen, Steve Smith etc who were faces of the franchise and could dominant games. I hope we can soon find and develop future faces of the franchise like the past guys and find a strong identity with some game changers on defense.
    • People comparing this deal to CMC, Williams, or Stewart is laughable, and I'll break the numbers down as to why: In 2020 We made CMC the highest paid RB ever. We gave him a $64 million over 4 years with $38 million guaranteed. That's $16 million on average. In 2011 we extended Williams, then in 2012 we extended Stewart. These extensions were 12 and 13 years ago: Williams - 5 years, $43 Million, $25 Million Guaranteed, Average of $8.6 Million per year Stewart - 5 years, $36 Million, $23 Million Guaranteed, Average of $7.3 Million per year Let me do the math for you: The Salary Cap in 2020 when we Signed CMC was $198.2 Million. CMC accounted for 8% of our total cap that season. The Salary Cap in 2012, when we had both Williams and Stewart under contract, was $120.6 Million. Those two combined to take up 13.1% of our total cap that season. Without the cap going up next season (and it will) Chuba is taking up 3.2% of our total cap. That's it. Not only are we paying Chuba HALF of what we were paying CMC per year, and LESS than what we paid Williams over a decade ago, the overall cap percentage shows how much less significant the contract extension is compared to those other moves. I really am not following how people are calling this contract a "big" money contract on a running back and a waste of cap space. This is a solid starting RB contract in the modern NFL.
    • Yeah Brown was shown to be a lot more important even in his second year
