I get what you're saying but this particular cut makes no sense. Webb isn't making or breaking our season but he was a very valuable player to our team. 

Plus if you watched the preseason he was playing better than derek Anderson. 

If any surprise vet should have been cut it should have been Anderson. 

he's a 30 year old special teamer who played QB against 2nd and 3rd stringers in the preseason. 

he hasn't seen a regular season snap at QB in the 3 years he's been here, and even on special teams, he's made countless boneheaded penalties that have cost the Panthers numerous times. 

not sure a spot on the 53 is warranted just b/c he's a great locker room guy.

There's stuff that happens every week that people in locker room don't like. Meh

Guys it's not about Webb or the 2 kickers or any one thing in particular with Hurney and his decision making.  Those are just symptoms to a larger issue that most of you weren't around to witness.  The man is not good for this team in any capacity.  He's the Mick Mixon/Joe Person of GM's.

Players liked Webb in the Locker Room as he was most likely a good guy to have around, but in the end they will all move on and do there job and God forbid if DA has to play they will play for him. They get a huge paycheck when all is said and done.

honestly with what happened to the bucs and the roberto aguayo experiment, I don't blame hurney at all.

Aguayo went to Florida State.  Hint hint.

Butker was fantastic from 40+ in college and has been perfect in fanfest and live preseason action.  

Infinitesimal chance he embarrasses himself enough to be whacked this season, but if so, better options are out there.

There is literally N O T H I N G worse than Gano based on a wide variety of reasons.

The relationship with Gano, the team, and the fans is TOXIC and like any toxic relationship, you BREAK IT OFF-worry about the consequences (that can't be worse) later.

So are you going to cheer on your team or spend the next 16 weeks sulking over poo that has not even happened?

Well said.  Last sentence is spot on.

Perhaps because it has merit. I doubt Joe Citizen has much sympathy for any bellyaching from players over these types of issues. I certainly don't make as much money as any of the players, but I have to go do my job regardless of how I feel about personnel moves at my place of employment. I think most of our players probably have the same mindset. 

then what is the point of discussing any news detrimental to players or team if it can always be overridden by pointing out how much money they make?

Where the fug was this thread when Josh Norman was cut? Thieves Avenue had to be rebuilt.

cuz josh norman wasn't as beloved in the locker room as Joe Webb was. 

clearly that's what wins championships though.

there were thousands of them, and besides they're two different and completely incomparable situations.

joe webb being cut doesn't matter. it's what his cutting - in the face of retaining DA and keeping two kickers - reflects in our demonstrably awful GM that matters for all of us

personally the main thing that aggravates me about the "but at my job... " angle is that i doubt anybody on this site is in a line of work that probably not even 1% of the US population is even capable of getting hired to do

Because of their paycheck they should be able to get over it a little easier. Or they can resign and let someone else get their paycheck. Don't know about you, but a bigger paycheck would make it easier for me. Sure, it's all relative, but either way they need to move on.
