Anderson wasn't good enough for Carolina

[pantherclaw]

Our team didn't miss the playoffs due to our top rated running game. 

 You guys need to stop bitching about EVERYTHING!!

Because bitching about other people bitching makes more sense?

Every conversation turns into a bitchfest because there is nothing else to talk about for the next year until something relevant changes in the situation. If you are into blind optimism or any other coping mechanism, cheers and good luck. I am ready for big changes and until then it's a poofest. I have been a Panther's fan long enough to recognize the cycle and I am in it for the long haul. Enjoy the riot and dream of better days to come.

It is when the same ppl have been bitching for 3 years now..

   Were we a better team after releasing Anderson? Did we pay MORE money to actually get worse? 

  No matter what his production was here, or now,  CJ was our backup plan if CMC gets injured. Whether he was playing a lot or not. We were 6-3. But we cut our best option and spend money to do it. His production today is irrelevant. There was no logical reason to make a team worse and pay for it.

Riiiight.

Here's the thing, dude. I don't "hate" guys for being lousy at their jobs.

Nor do I hate them for cutting my favorite player (something you could stand to do less of, by the way).

On the flipside, I also don't support guys keeping jobs they do poorly.

But the biggest difference between you and me is that I don't change my positions just to spite people.

I believe what I believe, regardless of whether someone else does or not. Whereas you're apparently so desperate to win an argument with me that you'll take up ridiculous ideas just to do so.

No offense dude, but you're not that important to me.

I talk football on this board because I enjoy doing so, not because I'm on a mission to change people's minds or be popular.  if that kind of thing mattered to me, I just go along with what everybody else says. I don't.

Now, when this is no longer fun, that's when I'll stop. And admittedly, cheering for a team that's going to continue to be mediocre takes a lot of the fun out of it, so that's a real possibility.

if I do, then I suppose you can declare yourself the winner of the argument and maybe you'll feel a sense of satisfaction.

Here's hoping, right?

Why did we cut Steve Smith?

[MasterAwesome]

Mr. Scot’s logic:

A) Steve Smith gets cut...goes on to have a great season with a new team = great move

B) CJ Anderson gets cut...goes on to have a great season with a new team = terrible move warranting post after post complaining in this thread

Wonder what the difference was between the two...hmmm, could it be who our GM was at the time of each...?

My goal with you is not to win an argument, it's to have interesting, if not sometimes fruitful, football discussion. Your littering of the board with the same old Hurney and Rivera potshots and using the same old tiresome, decidedly patronizing and negative attitude towards sound rationale, though you may disagree with it, is not conducive towards that goal. Your simplistic attitude pertaining to issues and your continued arguments like, he-cut-your-favorite-player-so-you-are-angry  is very telling in light of your refusal to acknowledge that not only do you not know the favorite player, nor the basis for the "anger."

It's also telling that you said that you thought that Rivera was a "good" coach (who you admittedly said you didn't believe could get us to a championship), and now you're emphasizing how "incompetent" he is and effectively dumping on everything small or large that he has ever done, positive or negative. It's just indicative of your feeding off the negativity and "egging on" the nonsensical when you pass yourself off as being a voice of reason.

As for my limited importance to you (which is the quite logical expectation) as it only encompasses the discussion confined to this board, it's not like you can't use the ignore button. I haven't because I (probably foolishly) hold out hope that you can actually be a nicer, more thoughtful forum member.

His motive is very obvious.

Money, production and out of Smiths mouth a couple months ago..”They did the right thing. It needed to be Cams team”. But people don’t want to hear Smitty say that. 

 And how does that answer the question? Just deflect to something else, about a GM who is gone forever. Let’s worry about the one running the team into the ground. Again

    Because there were no differences in those situations? This is sad. Even Smitty said he had to go for it he Cams team. 

  And once again, what does Smitty have to do with this move? 

  What’s the motivation?
